I'm not a big IR buff or anything but it sounds like Rothbard was a pretty straightforward Realist. He's obviously a bit more introspective than I'd guess the average realist is.

IR is pretty interesting. I think you are right about Rothbard being a realist. Until a few years ago I wasn't aware of the different schools of thought on IR. It's an interesting lens to look at things through.
It is interesting to me how often the presidents of opposing parties are of the same school. It confirms many of my thoughts about the US empire and the power elite.

I've heard some IR people say Trump is a realist as well and I think that's the category that he best fits in as well.

I think that he has to be at least acceptable to them to make it to the top of the ticket.

He wasn't accepted. Still isn't.

I know he is not accepted by the politicians! He trounced too many of them and is “uncouth” to boot. I guess that is just tough sh*t for them, isn’t it? This time around he knows where the skeletons are and will have the FBI information in hand. Either the blackmaill stops or it gets really bad. Which one do you think it will be.

I came to the realization that the president has to be vetted and pretty much accepted by the current Uniparty ELites to become the candidate for the party. That way they have it covered from both sides. Wonder who THEY are?

I think that he had a lot of time to think during the ‘60s. He was working and getting paid once every six months. His work was writing from his perspective about liberty and economics. He had a great output and influenced Ron Paul in many respects. I think you could say that he was not your average realist, at all.
