He thinks we are stupid. The elites like him and Hillary are smart so they should be the ones telling everyone else what to do. Given the brainwashing of American universities, maybe the ones who DO NOT go to college but learn practical skills are the lucky ones.
His comment that she "fudges" the truth is priceless.
Just let her loose with the SCOTUS and we will be totally lost. What a creep he is!
Thomas Friedman has long been the most arrogant and self-righteous NYT op-ed writer. He struts around pretending to be some insightful, moralizing sage when all he does in fact is to recycle the latest trendy politically correct talking points.
For example, when Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth was all the rage, Friedman couldn't stop lecturing us about the evils of our carbon footprint. When refugees from the latest civil war are the trending topic, he lectures us about how cowardly and immoral Americans in "flyover country" are for not "doing more to help" (i.e. sending more money, troops, or both). Now he lectures us about how only ignorant (white male) rubes could possibly oppose Hillary Clinton's coronation.
If there's a trendy buzzword or crusading cause circulating among the pseudo-intelligentsia of New York, you can always count on Blowhard Tom Friedman to be out there repeating it.
