America was once the world’s dream factory. We turned imagination into reality, from curing polio to landing on the Moon to creating the internet. And we were confident that more wonders lay just over the horizon: clean and infinite energy, a cure for cancer, computers and robots as humanity’s great helpers, and space colonies. (Also, of course, flying cars.) Science fiction, from The Jetsons to Star Trek, would become fact.

Since when did believing in God and having moral values make you pro-war, pro-rich, and solely pro-Republican?

“If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could better judge what to do, and how to do it.” So said Abraham Lincoln as he contemplated the great issues of containing slavery and preserving the Union.

Hugh Hewitt interviewed candidate Trump 15 times on his nationally syndicated show during the 2016 campaign and participated as a panelist in four primary debates.

From Phyllis Schlafly, the woman whose celebrated classic, A Choice, Not an Echo, upended the 1964 Republican Convention, comes a persuasive new argument for a surprising conservative choice: Donald Trump. For the first time since 1980, a significant number of Republicans are considering abandoning their party's nominee. This is a grave mistake, Schlafly says, because a Donald Trump "radical redirection" could actually set America back on the path of Reagan's conservative revolution.

But the blue wall, as The Conservative Heartland makes clear, was never quite as secure as so many observers assumed.
