Blah, blah, blah as usual. Schmidt has always been a hack for as long as I can recall his name.Misty » 08 Dec 2017 7:10 pm » wrote: Before you joined Cult 45 you would never have called Steve Schmidt a Beltway hack.
WTF happened to you?
You also cited George Will, who I have always considered knowledgeable but often way out of touch with reality.
WORST COLUMN OF THE YEAR?
Over the years, I’ve probably learned as much, if not more, from George Will as from any columnist or political commentator. These days, his antipathy towards the U.S. president far exceeds mine, but I continue to learn from Will.
Unfortunately, there’s nothing to learn from Will’s latest contribution, in which he proclaims Trump the worst president in American history. The column is an embarrassment.
I can’t say it’s the worst of the year. Perhaps Eugene Robinson has served up worse. I can say that Will’s column is the worst I have read this year.
Will bases his claim that Trump is the worst president in American history on his endorsement of Roy Moore for the Senate. Will has nothing to say about any policy decision, legislative proposal, or presidential appointment Trump has made.
Read any competent historical analysis of a presidency, though, and you will find the focus squarely on policy, legislation and, to a lesser degree, appointments. Senatorial endorsements won’t even be a footnote.
Thus, Will’s column cannot be taken seriously.
