Quote of the Day

Thomas Sowell:

The Republican establishment needs to understand why someone with all Trump’s faults could attract so many people who are sick of the approach that Jeb Bush represents. No small part of the internal degeneration of American society has been a result of supposedly responsible officials caving in to whatever group is currently in vogue, and allowing them to trample on everyone else’s rights.

    Many of us in the individual states have improved our lot by voting Republican the last few election seasons, and there were good candidates that came from those states now being denounced because they have been Republican for longer than the past year.

  4. The country might be better off if more voters treated elections as occasions to choose less-bad over worse rather than to demand perfection or to purchase indulgences.
