Robert Reichhhhh is a mess.
Robert Reeeeiiiiiiiissssscccchhhh cannot step outside the box. These old timers, he and Clinton, still hanging onto the last century.
Sure Hillary who has scammed 2 billion into her Clinton foundation is going to run on taking money out of politics,in a sense she already has taken it out of politics and deposited it into her foundation
Part of the establishment is to be above the law.
A big nothing article.
They are free-trade deals only in the titles. They are mercantilist in substance. Free trade is no relative to government deals with other governments. Free trade is simply taking off the restraints to trade, eliminating the regulations and the regulating agencies; minimizing or eliminating business taxes. Free trade is unfettered trade, not negotiated and defined and controlled trade. England grew rich when it declared free trade. England did not negotiate bilateral agreements with other governments. When trade is tree Americans will prevail. Europeans are the most inventive and entrepreneurial peoples on earth. Germanic language speaking Europeans are the most inventive and entrepreneurial peoples in Europe. English speaking people are the most inventive and entrepreneurial people among the Germanic language speakers.It is possibly a genetic thing and probably partly related to the language. The other group that fits that description is the Jews and those in Israel are mostly conversant in English.
OK, am I the only one who has a problem with the idea of “Tacking to the middle”. It means, You lied before. And now you are going to tell the voters a different story, just to get elected. If the press understood morality, they would know this is the same as lying. But of course the press has no morality anymore.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The Robert Reich is such a comedian.
Like he actually believes this tripe.
This is too rich coming from Robert Reich!
Reich is running about 3.7 years late. Anybody should have seen this after the last prez election. The treachery of the GOP was the bellweather of the new reality in politics.
Close, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around "authoritarian populism". I'm guessing Bobby is throwing abstractions against the wall to see if any stick.
The anger he's sensing is genuine but not quite directed in the way he's projecting. It is, as well, against arrogant party establishments, manipulative and power-hungry media, racist social activists; in short, against a fair proportion of the Democrat base. For Hillary to try to position herself in an adversarial role to all that is to try to deny everything she stands for and that got her here. It isn't going to happen and nobody would believe that outrageous sham if she tried.
Reich is in the position of an old aristo in the French revolution who sees the tidal wave coming and doesn't recognize that it's coming for him too. That's the real problem with media analysis of this thing. Objectivity is like virginity: once gone, it isn't coming back. Do not ask for whom the tumbrel rolls, friends, it rolls for thee.
