Incapable of Learning from Past Failures

David P. Goldman, channeling Spengler for Asia Times, writes about Trump vs. the Republican security "establishment" which has repudiated him.
The choice, sadly, lies between an unlearned interloper with common sense and an Establishment whose policy response is predictable as the emergence of a gumball from a supermarket machine after a quarter is cranked in. They are mediocre ideologues incapable of learning from past failures, clinging to their careers because they are unsuited for honest work. Trump may not know much but he is capable of learning. That can’t be said for his detractors.
The bottom line, Trump is the clear lesser of two evils. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
