Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

When You've Lost Lou Dobbs

You've lost the Angry Old Man Shouting At Clouds demographic.  Which is pretty much the GOP.

I remember when my parents said - back when he was at CNN - that Dobbs made good points on trade, but Dobbs' perspective on trade is mired in the pre-New Deal ideas about protectionism and national economies.  He should be irrelevant.  He's not because he's on Fox and Fox is Trump's policy shop.
