Exactly right. No politician EVER talks about success or failure of govt programs. The worse they perform, the more politicians double down on them.

[Alas Babylon!]

Paradigms. Here's what it REALLY means:

I think the definition of "conservative policies" went right out the window over the last 25 years.

I've never been affiliated with the Republican Party -- mainly because I'm a nationalist, not a Republican.

"Paradigm" was exactly the right word to use. It refers to a mind set, or world view -- and is a powerful psychological phenomenon. Conservatives and liberals literally see the world differently. Perhaps a picture would help. Do you see a pretty young woman or an old hag, in the drawing below? If you see one, and then the other -- you've just experienced a paradigm shift. (BTW, I do agree that the term is overused -- and frequently misused.)

Lee,

I had to look it up myself because I don’t remember a book by that particular name. But some how or other, it caught on and this article explains the history of paradigm shift.

Zeitgeist is another word I’ve seen used with greater frequency in the last 20 years. It’s a German word meaning ‘the spirit of a certain time period’. Geist, is I think one of their words for Ghost. Zeitgeist remains a word best suited for a written conversation than one spoken aloud.

Thank you. I was unaware of that pattern of development.

I agree. Sadly, we’re strapped with the guy until he goes toes up, most likely.

I would hope to be surprised, but the ignorance in the Senate on our side is phenomenal.

Under the paradigms of today he may seem unrepeatable but if he spends all 8 years in the WH and gets some more support he may have started a multi-decade trend...

Cuban is a gutless wonder. He choked thinking Trump was going to lose.

Trump doesn’t forget. He may have said things in favor of Tillerson in public, but once it was confirmed that Tillerson called him an idiot, he was out, and he was out quickly and announced thru Twitter.

I think Rex should have been smarter, but he wasn’t a Trump guy.

Pompeo is a breath of fresh air, so is Bolton. Condi Rice is not a Trump person, she could have been but she’s not.
