....and what makes him think such wordy, pompous, bloviating psychobabble is impressive?

I can communicate every bit as much in far fewer words.

“Trump kicks butt! Behave yourself accordingly.”

I made the following post on FR 5/31/16:

VDH's last 10 columns:

Trump is a raging buffoon, but ClintonObama is wretched blahblahblah.....
Trump is a crude moron, but ClintonObama is despicable blahblahblah...
Trump is a shallow bumpkin, but ClintonObama is corrupt blahblahblah...

I have long been a fan of VDH, but he is guilty of what he claims the elites suffer from.

VDH has become interchangeable with WillKraut. And he has long been my favorite
writer on the passing cultural scene. But he seems unable to not speak as ill as possible
of Trump, and, as in this essay, while finding merit in what Trump has said or done, he
can only use pejoratives against him. He, sadly, does not understand the average
patriotic American.

Hanson’s summary is very favorable to Trump and is quite illuminating.

Hanson’s point is that Trump causes an uproar which is always followed by a debate in which Trump’s points are affirmed.

If Trump were polished and skilled in the art of weasel-wording, he would not be causing uproars, no attention would be paid him, and no debate would ensue. Therefore, his bombastic crudeness is essential to his candidacy. I like it just fine.

VDH is dead to me until after the election, at least.
