Pat Buchanan
Patrick Joseph Buchanan is an American retired writer, political commentator, and political advisor. He was an assistant and special consultant to U.S. presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan. An influential figure within paleoconservatism, a nationalist and traditionalist strain of conservatism in the United States, Buchanan is also associated with right-wing populism. Many observers consider Buchanan's politics a predecessor to Trumpism and the contemporary postliberal New Right.
Buchanan was born in Washington, D.C. in 1938. In 1992 and 1996, Buchanan sought the Republican presidential nomination. In 1992, he ran against incumbent president George H. W. Bush, campaigning against Bush's breaking of his "Read my lips: no new taxes" pledge, as well as his foreign policy, his trade and immigration policy, and his positions on social issues. At the 1992 Republican National Convention, Buchanan delivered his "culture war" speech in support of the nominated President Bush. In 1996, he ran against eventual Republican nominee Bob Dole, but withdrew after getting only 21 percent of Republican primary votes. In 2000, he was the Reform Party's presidential nominee.
