Krauthammer is a pretty smart fellow. His problem is that he camps in the beltway. Likewise George Will should stick to baseball as he lives 40 years ago.
I don’t buy the line that people who live inside the Beltway just don’t know what’s going on in the rest of the country therefore they know not what they do.
The man reads, he’s got a TV, radios, and Internet and presumably talks to family or friends outside the beltway.
He is a smart man as you say. But says what he says and writes what he writes becuz hes a propagandist for the establishment. A liar sometimes. A Gruber sometimes. This work he accepts in exchange for that cushy Beltway life.
