...like the Claremont Institute. IIRC, they have a ridiculous make-work "journal" called American Greatness whose writers slave like stevedores to defend the indefensible on a daily basis. I can just see this as a headline on one of their moronic publications: "Trump stands for American Realism, not Utopian Idealism!". I'm also quite sure that in the near future, the "intellectuals" at Claremont will begin sounding like far-right Maoists: "Follow the Shining Path of Trumpism!".
