Foretelling!
Earlier this year, right-wing radio-talk heavyweight Rush Limbaugh joined the dots while reading some of Francis' articles on-air. "What's interesting is how right-on it is in foretelling Trump."

And if Trump is the victors' standard-bearer, their bible is a weighty, 700-page tome published in June 2016. Titled Leviathan and Its Enemies, Shenk describes it as "digressive, repetitive and in desperate need of an editor" – but he also describes it as one of the most impressive books to come out of the US right in a generation – "and the most frightening".
Its author was the late Samuel Francis, an academic, sometimes congressional aid and writer for right-wing publications, who was driven by a belief that society was controlled by managers and experts who were a threat to traditional American values – "morality and religion, family, nation, local community, and at times, racial integrity and identity".
These he argued were sacred principles of a new "post-bourgeois proletariat" drawn from America's working class and the lower ranks of the middle class who were driven, according to the coded language of Francis' book, by "immutable elements of human nature [that] necessitate attachment to the concrete and historical roots of moral values and meaning".
If his meaning was unclear, he was perfectly clear in a speech he gave while working on the book, declaring: "What we whites must do, is reassert our identity and solidarity, and we must do so in explicitly racial terms through the articulation of a racial consciousness as whites."
In Reversal, Trump Indicates To Hispanic Leaders Openness To Legalization For Immigrants
The Trump campaign disputes that Donald Trump is open to legalization after members of his Hispanic advisory council said he suggested he is open to figuring out a humane and efficient manner to deal with undocumented immigrants already in the country, ahead of a major immigration speech this week.

Univision reported that Lola Zinke, a San Diego lawyer at the meeting, said Trump himself said deportation is not the answer to have people regularize their immigration status and said a better idea was to “let them do it at embassies or consulates of their countries.”
That idea was first suggested to the RNC, which solicited ideas on behalf of the campaign, by Alfonso Aguilar, a conservative who initially opposed Trump before coming around to his candidacy, he told BuzzFeed News.
“I shared with folks a proposal for internal touchback,” Aguilar said of the policy, considered in 2007. “He said he wants to ‘bring back the good people’ right? So you register with your consulate or embassy.”
Also at the meeting were Trump’s new campaign leaders, CEO Steve Bannon and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who Aguilar credited with understanding the importance of a big tent coalition including Latinos and being open to immigration legislation in 2012 as a Newt Gingrich supporter.
Trump initially planned to meet with the Hispanic leaders Friday, but instead went to Louisiana to observe the aftermath of flooding in the state. The group still met without him on Friday, though, and one participant said campaign officials accepted the idea of a task force to present ideas on how to accommodate undocumented workers, short of amnesty.
“They want to put together a task force very much like the Ronald Reagan days, with the exception of amnesty,” said Jerry Natividad, a Hispanic Republican from Colorado who was at the Friday meeting. “I believe the campaign is very open to taking the initiative on this,” he said, adding that the idea is to come up with a policy for undocumented immigrants that “doesn’t put them in front of the line, but puts them in line.”
Trump will plainly struggle to convince many skeptical and frankly disdainful Latino voters that his effort to cozy up to the Hispanic community, much like a similar effort aimed at black voters, isn’t just the result of sliding poll numbers, rather than a warming heart. His campaign’s recent efforts to begin Latino engagement have stopped, started, and sputtered.
In 2012, Romney was widely believed to have hurt himself with Hispanic voters by suggesting “self-deportation,” while Trump out of the gate said he would build a wall along the border and deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.
Even soliciting ideas on what to do with immigrants in the country illegally, short of deporting them, represents a major departure from how the campaign has talked about dealing with them previously. Trump’s first general election ad, which was released Thursday and has already amassed nearly 600,000 views on YouTube, hit Clinton as soft on refugees and said “illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay, collecting social security benefits, skipping the line.”
“It’s a sign of desperation,” said Frank Sharry, a veteran of legislative immigration battles for America’s Voice. “Trump wants to fool these Republicans uncomfortable with his racism and bigotry that he’s pivoting. But a late head fake won’t be taken seriously by Latinos and their allies.”
United We Dream, a national immigration advocacy group, said Trump has no intention of doing right by the Latino and immigrant communities.
“Latino leaders should be standing firm against this man instead of using their heritage to sell his racist agenda,” said the group’s head, Cristina Jimenez.
To the Hispanic Republicans in the room excited about a more flexible Trump, though, it didn’t seem like pandering at all.
“He didn’t need to pander to us, everyone in that room is already supporting him,” Monty said.
