Why Aren’t Democrats Walking Away With the Midterms?
Democrats miss Trump’s political gifts and the real threat he represents.
"I have written previously
that the real threat of the Trump presidency isn’t economic or
political catastrophe. It’s moral and institutional corrosion — the
debasement of our discourse and the fracturing of our civic bonds.
Democrats should be walking away with the midterms. That they are not is
because they have consistently underestimated the president’s political
gifts, while missing the deeper threat his presidency represents.
There’s a lesson here worth heeding. Our economic GDP may be booming, but our moral GDP is in recession."
