What part of that isn't accurate?

  Saying "injecting conservative populism" without any example and counter argument just comes across very dumb. They want to form an opinion for me and I'm very well capable of doing that myself based on facts. This really downgrades the NYT for me.

    Have you followed Trump's campaign at all? It's very much conservative populism and it's causing a huge rift in the GOP.

      Ok, I looked it up on the book of knowledge: "Right-wing populism is a political ideology that rejects existing political consensus and often combines laissez-faire liberalism and anti-elitism. It is considered populism because of its appeal to the "common man" as opposed to the elites." I thought populism was associated with just saying anything that is popular but not necessarily true and based on circular references or other obfuscating techniques to score easily with people of low education/IQ/logical reasoning skills.. I see I was wrong. In that case, perhaps my original remark is not valid. Actually, I agree with Trump very much. The TTIP is horribly elitist.

    You've found fire where there's not even smoke. Trump would immediately come to anyone's mind when you say 'conservative populism'. What counter argument would you like to see here? Trump injects conservative populism into the debate... or did he???
