The problem is not the ideas, its the candidates themselves. Today’s politics left and right is populated by ignorant and incoherent practitioners. Compare what you hear in today’s discourse with the rhetoric of the 19th Century. It is shameful. Because some ignorant moron makes a fool of himself we have other morons blaming the ideas. I’m sorry, I can’t escape the truth, I cringe sometimes when some of our own champions speak. The other side, forget about it. Maybe a school of rhetoric should be created to teach our candidates to be able to communicate clearly. It was an essential part of a good education for centuries. If our Founding Fathers watched any debate during the last election cycle, they would cry.
I nominate Mark Levin to be dean of this school.
