Checks, Balances - Only With Trump as POTUS

Writing for USA Today, Glenn Reynolds comes down hard on the Federal civil service and the press.

The civil service, though supposedly professional and nonpartisan, has become a Democratic Party monoculture. Federal employees overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, donate to Democrats, and, by all appearances, cover for Democrats as a routine part of doing their job.

When Richard Nixon tried to weaponize the IRS, top officials at the Service made a stink. Under Obama, the IRS weaponized itself.

And, of course, the press is in the tank for the Democrats as usual. Bad news about Obama and Clinton has been soft-pedaled, with reporters sometimes admitting that they don’t want to help Trump.

So the message is clear. If you want good government, vote for Trump — he’s the only one who will make this whole checks-and-balances thing work.

Intriguingly, Laura Ingraham, writing at LifeZette, makes essentially the same point with different examples, including a tame liberal Supreme Court under Clinton. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for both links.
