History proves that Donald Trump's 'unpresidential' behavior is not a roadblock to the White House
....
“There’s a difference between unpopularity and arrogant ignorance,” Mr. Glaston says in an interview. “John Adams was a statesman and a scholar, and whatever Donald Trump is, he’s neither.”
...
“Donald Trump is not electable,” says Galston. “Donald Trump represents the intersection of anger and celebrity."
Galston explains that “There are a lot of people who are angry and feel repressed by changes on government and society and Trump is saying what a lot of angry older people, mainly of the white and male persuasion, are quietly thinking, but don’t dare say. So he’s saying it out loud and getting away with it – sort of - and it makes them feel good.”
“Andrew Jackson wasn’t a warm and fuzzy guy. He overthrew the establishment and was arguably our first populist president, but he had a lot more in the bank [politically, than Trump],” Galston says. “But Donald Trump is so far over the line, I don’t even know where to begin.”
“The American people, above all, want a president who cares about them,” Galston concludes. “And if there’s anything manifest about Donald Trump it’s that he only cares about himself.”
Galston worked for Clinton, Gore, Mondale, and long ago independent candidate John Anderson.

Galston is an idiot. Andrew Jackson wasn’t arguably our first populist, he WAS the first. Nothing like name-dropping irrelevant historical factoids to make himself appear knowledgeable, and making a mess out of it in the process.
“John Adams was a statesman and a scholar ... Typical strawman. Who is asking for another John Adams anyway? Especially since his term was one of the worst ever with massive attacks on our young "free" country.
"The American people, above all, want a president who cares about them,” ... Yet the Wall Street Urinal wants someone that only cares about a borderless, internationalist world order. He should have been struck by lightning by even muttering that sentence.
“Donald Trump represents the intersection of anger and celebrity." ... The Wall Street Urinal represents the intersection of internationalism, neo-feudalism and slavery. The King's Court, with his buffer of loyal nobility and aristocracy, and the serfs that are supposed to keep their mouthes shut.
Galston is from the "Let them eat Tofu" contingent. And he is terrified of the guillotine that is being wheeled into the public square. He should be.
Everything Galston just wrote about Trump was said about Reagan in 1980.
