Trump Has No Policy Soul and Should Be Opposed by a Strong Normal Republican
Trump has no policy soul, and should be opposed by a strong, normal Republican. Think Mitt Romney but with persuasive powers and passion. Putting in place tariffs such as Trump has proposed is idiotic and so idiotic that I felt no need to end the previous sentence.
We really only had two strong, normal Republicans in the twentieth century. Both are associated with peace and prosperity, and both laid the groundwork for a stronger America. They were Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan. Dwight Eisenhower and George H. W. Bush were acceptably good. Harding was decent, in the short time he had. Taft was alright I think, but Taft I'm still evaluating. Teddy Roosevelt projected a great strength and vitality, but put in place expansions of government, the trajectory of which has begun to undermine the Republic. Ford was blah. George W., don't get me started. And that's the twenty-first century anyway.
Nixon deserves his own category.
Fiscally, we are at third down and nineteen yards to go. Do we really want to be at fourth and twenty-three?
