What a bunch of cr@p. Trump is the outsider and that is the problem with the Washington elite. They cannot have an outsider running things. Trump is upsetting their applecart.

NPR has the audacity to call Brooks a Conservative.

This is Ryan’s top-down bill.
Trump should not have embraced it.
This is the Uniparty eunuchs trying to preserve the power that Obamacare gives Fredzilla, it is not even close to repeal.

For those who like to actually read the article, the notable aspect is that Brooks actually got one right.

Not that I’ll give him much credit - it’s a super obvious thing. Just like its predecessor, this bill is interests of big campaign donors, not that of we the people.

“I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging,” Brooks recently told me, “but usually when I talk to senators, while they may know a policy area better than me, they generally don’t know political philosophy better than me. I got the sense he knew both better than me.”

That first encounter is still vivid in Brooks’s mind. “I remember distinctly an image of–we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,” Brooks says, “and I’m thinking, a) he’s going to be president and b) he’ll be a very good president.” In the fall of 2006, two days after Obama’s The Audacity of Hope hit bookstores, Brooks published a glowing Times column. The headline was “Run, Barack, Run.”…

“Obama sees himself as a Burkean,” Brooks says. “He sees his view of the world as a view that understands complexity and the organic nature of change.” Moreover, after the Bush years, Brooks seems relieved to have an intellectual in the White House again. “I divide people into people who talk like us and who don’t talk like us,” he explains. “Of recent presidents, Clinton could sort of talk like us, but Obama is definitely–you could see him as a New Republic writer. He can do the jurisprudence, he can do the political philosophy, and he can do the politics. I think he’s more talented than anyone in my lifetime. I mean, he is pretty dazzling when he walks into a room.

This is hilarious! The NYT calling someone else “elite” as a pejorative term!

Hey David Brooks, go re-iron the crease in Hussein’s pant leg. Needs more crispness.

What a maroon.

No mention of a Gruber like figure or of having to pass the bill before finding out what's in it?

More fake news...
