> It's mostly distressing that a lunatic like that can get the time of day, let alone a paying job as an opinion writer.
That's who you've got remaining on the right. Take a look at sane conservative writers like Jennifer Rubin at the Post. She wrote as a conservative for years under Obama, and now she's suddenly labeled a leftist traitor now that she's critical of Trump. She didn't change, her party did.
Or just look at the economy. Fox News can't find reputable economists to come on air and say a trillion dollar tax cut and increased spending by a trillion is going to balance the budget. No one will say that because it's nonsense, yet that is the policy they have to sell.
Or look at the President's legal team. You'd think a billionaire President would have the pick of the biggest DC firms to represent him in the case of the century. But he is left scraping for guys like Sekulow.
The only people willing to toe a line like that are extremists, or people who are easily duped. Not people you would label experts or competent.
It's what Brennan meant when he called the US a kakistocracy - a government by the shittiest.
