("Seeking President, No Experience Necessary)
After years of filibusters, after focusing not on what could be accomplished but what could be shut down, after spending all their political energy on destroying the legacy of a sitting President, the Republicans had no answers when they were thrust into a position of power in both Houses in the last election cycle.
What is it that
makes the likes of Trump, Carson and Fiorina so attractive in this
bizarre alternate universe? It is merely that they have not been party
to the failure to dismantle all that the President accomplished during
the first six years of his term in office.
Mr.
Wehner would suggest the core issue is one of tone that can be corrected
by putting a better foot forward. But there is no better foot. This is
what being a Republican looks like in 2016, with obscenely conservative
stances parroted not only by the "newcomers" but those long on the
political scene.

What legacy? Which accomplishments?
The weakest recovery from recession is U.S. history? Real middle class income down 9%? Or Al Qaeda is "on a path to defeat." Bashar Assad's "days are numbered." "If you like your current insurance, you can keep that insurance. Period, end of story." The Russian reset. Yemen is an example of a counterterrorist strategy "we have successfully pursued...for years." ISIS is a "jayvee team." Red lines in Syria, An Iranian nuke deal that basically guarantees Iran gets nuclear weapons. And on and on. A record of prediction as striking for the boldness of its initial claims as it is for the consistency of its failures.
This president has the swagger and arrogance of a man who has never encountered a contrary point of view he respected, or come to grips with the limits of his own intelligence, or figured out that facile arguments are weak ones, if for no other reason that the world is a complicated place, information is never complete and truth is rarely more than partial.
So to what then do you attribute the love affair with Trump, Carson and Fiorina? And are you considered one of those who have attached themselves to this trio? And if so, what positions have they articulated that you find most attractive? Don' t give me fiction.
Don't pay attention to the above comments. Those three stooges, Ben, Carly and Donald have no chance to win anything. Despite Obama most likely being the most incompetent and worst president in U.S. history we're Democrats, overwhelmingly the party of minorities, the poor, the uneducated and uninformed, and thanks to our support from teachers unions, those on welfare, and all those government dependent people we have no worries. As long as we keep giving them free stuff and teachers across America keep them ignorant and indoctrinated the hapless and evil Republicans have no chance at the WH. Look at NYC, they elected in a landslide the most incredibly stupid progressive moron in America! We have Hillary, Bernie and hopefully Joe. We're invincible because only right wing crazies care about Hillary being a criminal and Bernie a communist and Joe an idiot!!!!!
Wrong on guns, on taxes, on health care, on voter "fraud" on same sex marriage. Wrong on immigration, on the climate, on continuing aggression abroad.
I can see why you won't answer my inquiry. The best defense, huh?
