Jack Hunter: Waltz’s Demotion Should Begin a Neocon Purge

==Jack Hunter: Waltz’s Demotion Should Begin a Neocon Purge==
Jack Hunter at ''The American Conservative'' contends that Signalgate was no accident, that Michael Waltz and Jeffrey Goldberg have indeed been in cahoots, given both their prior joint appearances and their shared interest in promoting neoconservative ideology. He also contends that "a true ‘America First’ foreign policy and neoconservatism are incompatible," and that it is time that President Trump stop deluding himself into believing otherwise. In Hunter's opinion, Trump should've done what Hunter suggests Trump do now, a long time ago. But alas, Trump is a forgiving man. He has given the neocons more than enough chances to work with him so they could together develop a policy which could make both sides happy. However, the neocons have blown every chance Trump has given them, and Signalgate should be the final straw.
In his article, Hunter calls for Trump to do a "neocon purge." And although Hunter ultimately stops short of outright stating a detailed strategy, from my perspective he gives a good idea of what Trump's base should demand that Trump do on their behalf. This implied strategy consists of four tasks:
*1. Revoking his nomination of Waltz as UN Ambassador, and instead booting him out of the administration altogether.
*2. Firing Marco Rubio.
*3. Revoking his endorsement of Lindsey Graham's re-election campaign, and instead endorsing one of his primary challengers.
*4. Recruiting someone to try to primary out Tom Cotton.
Who's with Hunter on this?
