If there is one pattern that is emerging from this year's political campaigns, it is that rhetoric beats reality -- in both parties.
The biggest surprise among the Democrats is Bernie Sanders, and among the Republicans is Donald Trump. Although they are each seeking to be put in charge of the nation's government, does anyone know -- or care -- what their actual track record in government has been?
Trump of course has no track record at all in government. If Sanders has anything to show for his many years in Congress, no one seems to know what it is. But both are great at rhetoric.
Hillary Clinton's biggest selling point is that she has lots of "experience" in government, having been a Senator and a Secretary of State. But what she actually accomplished in those roles gets remarkably little attention.

Fantastic comedy for the morning. A good laugh.
So the parties are telling us to look at their -track records-, and that this will help us avoid the outsiders. You had me going for a minute there! Snicker,,,
Whistle blowers...not whiners.
The system is corrupt. Just because an organization has rules does not mean that those rules are honorable.
I think the 700 super delegates are clearly corrupt.
The republicans do it by a thousand cuts, but it’s just as corrupt.
Career politicians are the bain of our nation.
That this country cannot put forth good credible nominees for the highest office in the land is surely evidence of its demise. Voters should reject all of the candiates and ask for a new slate.
Trump cannot be understood using one's head. Logicians are blind to his appeal.
Logic and reason are great for thinking, but they lack the one thing that is absolutely imperative for business success and real leadership.
"Gut."
“Career politicians are the bain of our nation.”
And career politicians were almost all lawyers.
And that is factual
One of the key indicators for the onset of dementia is a fascination with events long past (because current cognitive abilities aren’t as impressed on the synapses like those long established).
In this case Sowell’s vivid remembrance of the 1960 world series and how that substantively meaningfully translates to explanations of why it was ‘perfectly okay’ for the Colorado GOP to act like Union Leader Thugs doing what they damn well want, the union membership be damned.
Thankfully, the Electoral College isn’t their own private bitch. Hopefully he can rationalize how the general election was ‘stolen’ by a man who, by his great expectation and necessity HAS to have decades of government bureaucrat experience, had none.
I see what you did there.
bane
Which is arguably what Bain Capital does to many of the interests it acquires.
“Career” politicians sure know which side their bread is buttered on and it’s NOT the side of the taxpayers! WAKE UP AMERICA!
They don't live by their gut instincts the way Trump and millions of Americans do.
They are only pontificators.
You wished when you are Professor Sowell’s age your brain would function half as well as his is
Sad he was talking about getting more delegates not more Voters
Another wise he knew the people would never vote for him ( currently running third in most States but the delegates are voting for him , sorry Ted That strategy will cost us the White House, Judges, Senate and maybe the house.
Your selfish drop out the people don't like you. I don't care about delegates nor will they get to do anything in November, Virginia, Florida and Ohio not 20% of the vote , won zero counties , thanks Ted for the Judges Hillary will appoint.
Baby Donald: Squeeze it and it whines:
“Trump of course has no track record at all in government.”
That’s false. He has 4 decades of cozying up to and bribing establishment politicians.
You guys should stop oohing and ahhing over his past excellence and see what he is now. He’s been harping for two years now about the next most evil acceptable politician and how the establishment’s pick is the best.
Take your own blinders off. The fact is his cushy bailey wick, like all the other pundits and thinkers sapping off the political information system, is being threatened into irrelevance.
You can choose to venerate him. I do not. All you can cogently argue in his support is “duh, you wish....” Nice job.
Pretty and shiny and nothing to do with the Constitution, freedom and liberty.
What a maroon. Don’t take on Rush, or anyone else for that matter, if you can’t even spell bane correctly.
Talk about low information.
