Trump the fabulous wheeler-dealer, hirer of the best and smartest people who know how to work the system, whines “It’s unfair!” when he fails to successfully wheel and deal and work the system

The New Neo Posted on April 12, 2016 by neoApril 12, 2016

Ace points out the contradiction of it all. Read the whole thing, plus the links to pieces such as this one: If anything, in fact, the delegate-wrangling process should be a godsend for Trump. It moves the race out of … Continue reading →

What do candidates’ plans actually mean?

The New Neo Posted on April 11, 2016 by neoApril 11, 2016

Commenter “JuliB” remarks: Trump offers a poorly thought out idea [on how to make Mexico pay], then people analyze it and discuss it. Other people call it like they see it ”“ ”˜he’s just mouthing off, and it means nothing’. … Continue reading →

Surrender, Dorothy!

The New Neo Posted on March 26, 2016 by neoMarch 26, 2016

I’ve been thinking. It’s been a hard year. Actually, it’s been pretty hard ever since Tuesday, November 6, 2012, when I realized the American people had re-elected Barack Obama and that now he was free to really implement that “change” … Continue reading →

Written speeches versus extemporaneous remarks

The New Neo Posted on March 22, 2016 by neoMarch 22, 2016

I’ve said many many times that I don’t like speeches, with the exception of Churchill and Lincoln. I don’t like them because I’m not an auditory learner and tend to mentally drift off during monologues, although I can pay very … Continue reading →

GOP convention delegates: bound and unbound

The New Neo Posted on March 21, 2016 by neoMarch 21, 2016

Here’s an informative article about an issue that’s currently being speculated about—delegates at the RNC and what they are required by the rules to do. How much leeway do they have? It depends on the state, but the basic idea … Continue reading →

David Brooks, the “establishment,” and “social mingling”

The New Neo Posted on March 19, 2016 by neoMarch 19, 2016

From David Brooks’ recent NY Times column: Trump voters are a coalition of the dispossessed. They have suffered lost jobs, lost wages, lost dreams. The American system is not working for them, so naturally they are looking for something else. … Continue reading →

Why it made sense for the GOP Senate NOT to change the filibuster rule

The New Neo Posted on March 18, 2016 by neoMarch 18, 2016

The GOP won control of the Senate in the 2014 election. This meant that the party controlled both houses of Congress for the first time since the earlier years of the Bush administration, when they also had the presidency. But … Continue reading →

What would it take to impeach and convict a president?

The New Neo Posted on March 8, 2016 by neoMarch 8, 2016

Asked Daniel in Brookline: I have often wondered what it would take to get a President impeached. Granted, the Constitution deliberately set a very high bar ”” which is why all of three Presidents in U.S. history have been impeached, … Continue reading →

If I were ruler of the RNC and I designed the primaries…

The New Neo Posted on March 8, 2016 by neoMarch 8, 2016

…they would be great, they would be beautiful. Or, at least better. I think. These would be the rules: (1) Only Republicans vote. A voter’s party has to be declared some fixed amount of time before the primary in each … Continue reading →

Is Trump the GOP’s Frankenstein’s monster?

The New Neo Posted on March 1, 2016 by neoMarch 1, 2016

Commenter “physicguy” has this to say: Just released over at American Thinker: the article deals with the death of the GOP. I agree, and I think the last paragraph sums it all up very well: “The real blame rests on … Continue reading →

Today: Nevada (and musings on conservatism, the GOP, and the establishment)

The New Neo Posted on February 23, 2016 by neoFebruary 23, 2016

Another day, another primary. This primary season has felt like a runaway train to me, hurtling down the tracks with no brakes on. Another thing that’s become clear this year is that the members of the GOP “establishment” are not … Continue reading →

Limbaugh and Levin, and campaign 2016

The New Neo Posted on February 17, 2016 by neoFebruary 17, 2016

I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh—or to any talk shows, actually—often. But I’ve listened now and then, often enough—to Limbaugh and also to Mark Levin—to get a basic feel for both of them. For example, I’ve noticed that for about … Continue reading →
