It Is Never Wrong To Be On

I Think People Are Beating Each Other Up In The Halls Of Congress, As They Did In The Late 1850s.

Donald Trump, He Didn't Dismantle Eastern European Missile Defense. He Didn't Go To Geneva And Press A Plastic Red Button. He Didn't Make Fun Of Romney For Saying Russia Was An Existential Enemy. He Didn't Have A Hot Mic Exchange With A Russian President Saying That He Would Be More Flexible With The Russians After The Elections.

We're In A Very Orwellian Situation Where When We - We've Slashed Defense. And We've Raised Taxes. And We Consider $600 Billion Annual Deficit Success Because It's Not $1 Trillion.

If The Democrats Feel They Have Lost The Public's Confidence In Their Stewardship Of National Security, Then The Threat Of Iran Offers A Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, Or John Kerry An Opportunity To Get Out Front Now And Pledge Support For A United Effort - Attacking Bush From The Right About Too Tepid A Stance Rather From The Predictable Left That We Are 'hegemonic' And 'imperialistic' Every Time We Use Force Abroad.

Trump Is A Symptom Of Widespread Disgust, Not The Head Of A Carefully Crafted Ideological Movement With A Checklist Of Issues.
