We often link, with approval, to columns by David P. Goldman, blogging as Spengler at PJ Media. Today, however, he devotes a column to the allegations of the Michael Wolff book - certainly easy enough to do - and ends with the idea that Wolff asks us “Who do you believe, me or your eyes?”
In the current pep rally environment, the answer to that question sadly is obvious. For most Americans, the answer will be simply “Whichever makes me feel good, regardless of your so-called ‘facts.’” Folks wanna root for their team, and unload crap on the opponent.
COTTonLINE isn’t immune to this virus. We try to root for the nation, right now the nation has an elected President Trump. Our nation is likely to share his fate for the next 3-7 years. If he does well, we’ll do well; if he does poorly, so will we. The nation seems to be doing well, therefore we wish him well.
