American "Conservatism," in the Goldwater-Reagan Eras would be quick to admit it was based on Classic Liberalism.
But it became expedient to trash the term Liberal since it was how democrats described themselves. And trashing them at the time worked. "Liberal" became a dirty word, to conservatives.
Therefore democrats picked up on the term "Progressive" and use it until today.
Prager is a very smart guy. He is right about this. Once in a while, people like Reagan come along, that can get these types of points across, in just a few words, and WIN CONVERTS.
But those types of people, are few and far between.
Trump is NOT the type to dwell on definitions. I believe he would opt to let results speak for themselves.
If your army needs a bridge built across the valley or the river, the bridge builder needs to step forth, and leave the philosophical debates, to the debaters.
