I’m pretty happy with Trump and the first 100 days. The RINO congress not so much.

Straight from the horse's ... uh ... mouth:

"I think there is a tension in Clinton between the student of Presidential power and the student of policy," said Michael J. Sandel, a Harvard University political theorist. "As a student of the Presidency, he knows he should keep it simple, but as a student of policy he can't. The risk is that he knows too much. Reagan did not have that problem. For Reagan, a thematic Presidency was easy because he did not know very much. All he had were broad themes on three-by-five cards. Clinton has a CD-ROM in his head."

These facile rationalizations followed less than a week after Clinton's AG had just incinerated 76 Americans -- many of them women and children -- in Waco, Texas.

In working on this biography of Reagan, one thing is clear: how smart and very well informed he was. Smarter than Obama by leaps and bounds.

I don’t think I have to explain what was happening to my blood pressure until I got to the “oh wait” part. :-)

Thanks for posting this. It gives a perspective many of us lose sight of.

That’s a weakness of Satan’s - he hasn’t changes his tactics in 4000 years.

LS the problem is that we voters don’t trust Ryan or any of the republican leaders.

They need to remove government control and interference in HC.

David Broder has been replaced by John Dicerson, Major Garrett, Chuck Todd et al.

The media is activist liberals, ain’t gonna change. The difference is we now have other outlets to get our balance, talk radio, some other news networks etc.

Well *done*, LS! Even though I read this article three days ago, the title this morning fooled me...

@John Semmens, call your office.
