today i asked fellow republicans, in the days to come will you be the party of conservatism or will we follow populism and conservative principles? the future of the movement in this parties belongs to one or another, not both. because the fundamental divide between these is unbridgeable. history teaches societies with more freedom and less government flourish. that's why we have a brilliant system of checks and balances, divisions of authority, coequal branches of government. sovereign state governments under our system of federalism. conservatives understand to advance an agenda on behalf of the american people who must work through the system.
