      @jonathanchait That's not exactly what I mean by True Conservatism (TM).

      @jonathanchait True Conservatism (TM) isn't just conservatism. It's a specific bowdlerized version of Reaganism, invented circa 2006.

      @jonathanchait Rubio is not a TrueCon. Cruz arguably is.

      @DouthatNYT I feel it's a form of demonstrative politics, always in opposition, but having effect of driving establishment rightward.

      @jonathanchait That's part of it. But as you yourself have repeatedly argued, Rubio looks a great deal like a return to Bushism.

      @DouthatNYT Yes. Definitely a more rightwing version, though a same policy architecture.

      @jonathanchait Whereas True Conservatism (TM) would be cut, cap and balance, a flat tax to hit the "lucky duckies" in the working class ...

      @DouthatNYT @yeselson @jonathanchait Would be good to have a longer feature essay from you on taxonomy of the right in age of Trump.

          @HeerJeet @yeselson @jonathanchait One of the lessons of Trump is a profound disconnect btw ideological taxonomies and actual voters.

          @DouthatNYT @yeselson @jonathanchait Right, piece I'm imagining would be about that. Actually existing conservatisms vs. theoretical models
