The night Donald Trump was elected was supposed to be, for most liberals and a few conservatives, the beginning of the end of the world. The economy would surely implode. The U.S. would probably blunder into a catastrophic war. The new American president would be blackmailed into conducting foreign policy as Putin’s poodle.

But as Trump’s presidency moves forward, it’s no longer smart to think it’s right. There’s more than one type of intelligence. Trump’s is feral. It strikes fast. It knows where to sink the fang into the vein.

These Democrats are just out of touch and not able to comprehend what’s going on.
So now it’s back to deplorable Trump being racist and bigoted and all that. The Democrats have nothing to run on. They have no legislative program to sell to the American people in these elections.
All of the educated, literate, morally superior people are democrats? Well I had better turn in my two college degrees with a 4.00 GPA and my in-progress masters degree with a 3.925. I clearly didn’t deserve them.
Not just the Times. From Bret Stephens. He had to leave the WSJ because the rest of the editorial board there made peace with the reality of the Trump presidency but he just couldn't. He was the guy who wrote "If you're not appalled by Trump you're appalling". The fact that he is now slowly, haltingly, kicking and screaming, coming around to realize he was wrong is very interesting. Should the Blue Wave fail to materialize next Tuesday he may just do a complete mea culpa.
Talk about damning with faint praise.
The OP basically says that Trump supporters are all a bunch of uneducated hicks and Trump critics “...tend to be educated and educated people tend to think that the only kind of smarts worth having is the kind they possess — superior powers of articulation combined with deep stores of knowledge...”
It then goes on to say that only democrats are moral and that Trump is winning based on us hicks buying his snake oil and not on things like the economy.
Self-congratulatory claptrap and virtue-signalling.
“it’s feral” -—slimy word for “instinctive.”
Trump is the most instinctive president ever, even better than Reagan. He on the cuff, 99% of the time, just “knows” what is the right thing to say that will trigger the left, excite the right, and usually be the correct thing to do.
I'm not worried if a few liberals see the light. There is no way to convince the majority of hardcore liberals who never respect their opponents. When you have this flawed sense of moral superiority, it is just natural to hold your opponents in contempt.
The six he did not win: Hawaii, Minnesota, Georgia, West Virginia, Maryland, Rhode Island and, of course, DC.
there. fixed it.
——No one can truly put a number to #Walkaway.——
That truth is very interesting to me. The fact the truth exists is very dangerous to democrats. In many locations, only a small number not only walking away, but voting can be very significant
I believe that even if the #Walkaway exists, the effect is not uniform. If strong in a few cties, that will have a greater effect than in a more rural district where there are fewer black voters relative to the total.
If it is truly even a small effect in this election, it is the beginning of the fracture of the fabled Democrat coalition. If only 85% do not walk away, the center cannot hold
One of the people on my staff is an absolutely craven, we must accept socialism, Bernie will win in 2020, Trump is a trust fund baby, the blue wave will give democrats a veto proof majority in both houses, Trump will be impeached by June bleating liberal. I’ve been hearing it from him since he started.
On Tuesday we will be working the election results with the mostly left wing newsrooms. I’m going to have to keep shutting the door in my office to keep from punting and laughing as his”blue wave” turns into a blue drip in front of his eyes. “My generation will eliminate Republicans from government and America will prosper under socialism!”
Tick...tick...tick...
Because all their “get out the vote” banter is doing just that. But, for the wrong side.
Why are you bothering with a Master's degree? Why not just go straight for the Ph.D.? That's what I did.
There’s more than one type of intelligence. Trump’s is feral. It strikes fast. It knows where to sink the fang into the vein.
This has been Trump’s consistent strength from the moment he entered the Republican race
I love these Brett Stephens type idiots who think they’re tuned in to the truth but are almost as delusional as the Democreeps they’re criticizing.Trumps strength is that he’s NORMAL in a world distorted by demoncreeps and rinos.Trump is the moral and law abiding fix to their their crazy immoral lawless crap. Brett, you’re still a douchbag.
You are probably white. So your advantage will be permanently held against you, doubly so if male.
The 'debasement' of mindless group-think? LOL - thank God for that... Moral corrosion? "Elites" governing for their own benefit isn't 'moral' and the decency to stand up to that crap isn't 'corrosion'....
Yes, the op-ed dude has some insights... the liberal crystal ball gazing two years ago (presented as news at the time) - from economy collapsing to imminent war - were all wrong. What else could he say? Water's not dirty, NAFTA's not worse, North Korea's hasn't nuked us, market's are up, unemployment is down... minorities are doing better.. etc etc...
And the current lies the New York Times is telling about Trump - that he's a demagogue etc will also be proved false... NYT's smart men by 'drawing room' standard where fools come and go shallowly chatting of Michelangelo... Yes, this one op-ed guy is more insightful than the rest - but how much does that really say?
Kamala Harris?
Corey Booker?
Joe Biden?
Elizabrth Warren?
Eric Holder?
Bernie Sanders?
These folks belong in a joke book.
Had to leave AOC off the list as she will still be a child and not old enough.
Bret stephens, Dirtbag Never Trumper POS.
Cuz they pulled the kavanaugh cr** and have absolutely no agenda....except “kill the babies”, open borders, and free everything.
And allowing for alternate outcomes.
Remember, they sponsor ALL the public polls too.
“Bret stephens, Dirtbag Never Trumper POS.”
If we’re getting such an admission out of this creep, the DemonShits mus be in real trouble. That’s why I posted this article without a barf alert.
