The Atlantic, a left-liberal publication that has become a clearinghouse for anti-Republican commentary, published an essay in which it expressed skepticism that a blue-collar truck driver like Edward Durr could perform the duties of his elected office.
Last week, Durr shocked the political world by defeating incumbent New Jersey State Senate President Steve Sweeney, one of the most powerful Democrats in the state and the longest-serving legislative leader in its history.
The essay in The Atlantic, by Tom Nichols, titled “Populism Always Sounds Great in the Abstract,” mocks Durr: “A New Jersey truck driver defeated the state Senate president, but politics needs people who know what they’re doing.”
Nichols said Durr represented a dangerous populism rejected by America’s Founders, and compared him to a “Philistine”...

But AOC is just the cat’s pyjamas?
What about the NY bartender?
A quick look at the masthead for the Atlantic will show you that they are not exactly in touch with middle America. Rootless cosmopolitan globalists and coastal elites run that rag.
Apparently Sweeney’s “12,000 found ballots” were stuck in a container ship off of LA and missed the election deadline.
Ton Nichols, a never-Trumper who has never held a real job other than pontificating to swamp creatures . Doubt he knows as much about the world as the average trucker. Not even close.
Liberals are always sneering at their betters : )
Dumb people. He replaced the speaker’s seat; doesn’t make him speaker. He’s just one voice and one vote in the legislature. But I agree, he probably couldn’t make it worse. Best we can hope for is that he will gum up the works for all those grubby graft loving taxpayer money wasting co-workers.
The Atlantic occasionally gets a good story. But when they do it sort of fits within the stopped clock theorem.
Oh, dear Atlantic, we’re doing so well with all the professional politicans and professional unelected bureaucrats.
Leftists are elitist bigots.
This is possibly the best election story of all time, well at least in my lifetime.
And.... I supposed to give a flying $#it about anything The Atlantic pontificates? For that matter, I give less than a damn what the Pontiff pontificates....
I’d prefer the first 500 names in the Tulsa phone book running this country than the current crop of congress critters, There are a few exceptions - Jordan, Cruz
What do people who have no common sense know?
Patiently waiting on the F*ck José Xiden version of this article...
Durr is a truck driver and Sweeney is a lather, so what is your point?
But they love a demented fool who craps himself.
Note that “The Atlantic”, founded 1857, was bought in 2017, and is still majority owned by Steve Job’s widow, Laurene Powell Jobs. It is a reminder of how much we have been affected by the Tech Revolution with its epicenter on the LEFT Coast.
Not enough corruption in Mr. Durr's background?
