I’m inclined to believe that we completely blew it with the 2012 election, and that outcome pretty much damned us to liberal ascendancy and dominance that will last most of the century.
Trump offered an unexpected detour, and that’s a great thing.
I find self described conservatives and Republicans maddening at times. Anyone that sincerely believes that we’re a Rubio or Cruz away from turning this around is just not realistic. I have no idea how an adult with clarity could believe that.
I think we blew it long before that. Bill Clinton was a disaster as a president but in a more subtle way than many people are able to understand. I can’t believe how many still seem to think he was one of the greats.
