Without Real Merit or Visible Achievement

COTTonLINE's favorite historian, Victor Davis Hanson, writes for RealClearPolitics about the movement that elected Trump, comparing it to that which elected Andrew Jackson:

What got the brash Trump elected was a similar popular outrage that the self-described best and brightest of our time are has-beens, having enjoyed influence without real merit or visible achievement.

If Donald Trump did not exist, something like him would have had to be invented.

They had their chance and blew it ... repeatedly. We will let someone else try. Count on VDH for a pithy quote.
