Jimmy Carter ran for Governor as a right-leaning democrat that was against integration. That is why he got elected. As soon as he took office, he showed his true colors as a lefty anti-segregationist and pissed a lot of people off. Powerful people. Trump has always been Trump at his core. Watch any of his old interviews, and he says the same things he is saying today. He is also a master of getting people to reveal themselves...like Buchanan.
But it seems the basic facts are there: Pat Buchanan's platform then seems to be what Trump's platform is now.
At some point, for some reason ("getting mugged by reality" is always a perennial favourite turning point for these sorts of things), Trump changed his mind.
His platform now is basically what Pat Buchanan was saying in 2000.

Also, NBC is hardly the bastion of unbiased reporting.
No, it's not.

Interesting.
Go, Pat, Go. I was there. 😀
