MY SAY: THE ELECTION OF OUR DISCONTENT
I had a terse conversation with a Brahman from Boston who started the conversation with:….”You could not possibly vote for Trump….” Now, I am no fan of Trump….in fact, I despise him, but I find it amusing that the woman voted for Ted Kennedy- a plagiarist, a liar, a criminal, a philanderer, and a serial harasser of women. Remember the Kennedy-Dodd “sandwich?” Ted and his pal Chris Dodd, while they were Senators once kept a waitress in a diner pinned between them and fondled her until they were separated by force and threats to call the police. And both of those distinguished legislators actually tried to run for president.
She ended the conversation by warning: ” You and the GOP and your conservatives are finished.” Now there’s an overstatement. The old GOP is the Gone Old Party-but I have great faith in the talent of many Republican legislators, and in the next few months I hope to highlight them. One of my favorites is Senator Benjamin Eric “Ben” Sasse Of Nebraska…. a college professor, an intellectual, and a true conservative.
