Mencken...Excellent essay Tom, perceptive as always. Mencken is an appropriate touchstone these days and I am sure he would have noted that "booboisie" has been fooled once again by the Kleptocrats. You have to give one thing to the Republikers, they know how to follow the money. Pretty much nothing else matters to them and Trump nailed that.Frank Phillippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356905629121523842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-51394901722103214282018-09-11T17:24:56.732-07:002018-09-11T17:24:56.732-07:00Hell with Nelson Rockefeller.

This tax cut has increased the deficit like it's been tied to a Saturn booster, we are going to hit a trillion dollars early in 2019. The corporate tax cut and the holiday on repatriation of overseas funds has done nothing for the economy, the majority of the money has gone for stock by-backs. Any of the r's on your list have any hesitation about that? No they don't. As for the dems...too soon to tell and they shouldn't talk about it. Bernie and Biden are too damn old and it's a tough job if you want to work at, unlike the current president. I'm encouraged by the polling 2 months out, Cuz may get a big surprise in November, along with a few other r senators. The focus has to be on November because more and more sleepy people are recognizing Obama was right after George Bush said after trump's inauguration speech, "That was some weird shit." Obama replied, "He's a bull shitter." As I reminded my RWNJ bro in law, "Trump couldn't even get a home town boy vote in NYC, Clinton got 91% of the vote by the people who know trump the best." if anything November 6th is a referendum on trump and we shall see what happens. For the republicans, it's over, the demographics are going to kill them dead and it won't be long either and they know it. Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854309313920685901noreply@blogger.com
