As much as I hate to admit it, Operation Schmooze the Karens was a success.

Good government/moral leadership/financial prudence is invariably a big loser at the polls. Well pay for that, eventually - but right now no politician can get very far without agreeing to kick the can further down the road than his opponent. Trump has understood this unfortunate reality better than the rest of his party.
