Is Government a Business? Maybe That’s What Trump Believes.

I not only found Joe Biden’s speech about MAGA long overdue, but I thought his denunciation of the MAGA movement both restrained and rather polite.

Did I expect the usual ‘it’s not our fault, it’s your fault’ response from GOP noisemakers like Lindsay Graham, who said the American people were ‘hurting’ because of Joe’s failure to stop ‘rampant inflation and out-of-control crime?’ What else could Graham say?

But when the all the primary votes are tallied up, with the final two state primaries (DE and NH) on September 13, the great red wave that was going to demolish the blue team and restore America to its path towards greatness again under Donald Trump, seems to have pretty well rippled itself away.

Now if you don’t mind, a slight digression to put all of this in a proper perspective.

In June 1992 I spent several hours talking one-on-one with Newt Gingrich, who was beginning to put together the “Contract with America’ 1994 campaign that would give the House back to the GOP and install Newt in the Speaker’s seat.

Newt and I both came from an academic background. He had gone into politics as a candidate, I had gotten involved doing fundraising for political campaigns.
