Liberals had nine years to decipher Mr. Trump’s appeal — and they failed. The Democrats are a party of college graduates, as the whole world understands by now, of Ph.D.s and genius-grant winners and the best consultants money can buy. Mr. Trump is a con man straight out of Mark Twain; he will say anything, promise anything, do nothing. But his movement baffled the party of education and innovation. Their most brilliant minds couldn’t figure him out.
What are some of these crazy ideas of the left’s?
I just thought of some good examples of crazy. (I don’t call them crazy, but other people do.)
Stance 1: Anti-Immigration (don’t let foreigners in).
Stance 2: Open Borders (let anyone in with no checks, including criminals)
Stance 3: Immigration Reform (allow immigration and make the process easier, but weed out the criminals)
Stance 4: Status Quo (allow immigration, but it is difficult and time consuming)
Many people think that stances 1 and 2 are “crazy.” I just think that they are counterproductive and ineffective. And the anti-foreigner thing is racist.
