Rand is the more abstract thinker.
If by abstract you mean "short-term without concern for consequences", then sure. Although whether the other lady is actually doing less of that is open to debate.

"short-term without concern for consequences"
That's roughly as useful as your definition of "conservative".

But she love tax breaks for corporations.
I think it might be kind of funny if the Chinese try and muscle her operations and our Defence organisations are called on to back her and there is no money in the kitty for it.

both taken strides to set back the progress of the working class
Given that "progress" seems to mean borrowing unborn generations into penury to support unsustainable, velvet-handcuff entitlements, I'd wear your remark as a badge of honor.

What you describe as having come from "progress" has been done by every conservative president in my lifetime, and likely prior as well. If you feel that conservatives need to oppose such things then that would support a thesis of our country having never elected a conservative president.

Not necessarily. It supports the thesis that in your view, we have never had a "conservative" president, as by your definition every president has been "progressive". That should lead you to ponder why we have never had a "conservative" president.

Were you to offer any similar, concise analysis, I might regard you seriously.

I've explained on numerous occasions that Woodrow Wilson, 100 years ago, was the bad guy
I recall you blaming him many times over. That doesn't change the fact that there has never been an American President who has met your definition of "conservative". Furthermore it does not change the fact that our current POTUS is the most fiscally conservative president we have ever had.
Regardless, smitty, I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. i hope that in spite of all your anger and hatred you do find things to be thankful for on this day. I know I have much to be thankful for myself.
