Yes, I read the whole thing.
Brevity is the soul of wit and Jeffery Tucker is witless...
What do we have now?
I like Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin but neither can win...
Nobody from inside the system can beat the machine that was created to prevent another Reagan. That machine uses very sophisticated techniques to dominate a process that is functioning (until the Electoral College assembles in December) in a completely extraconstitutional way, choosing the "opponents" before anyone realizes what is happening.
We need a new paradigm.
Just as "Obama" believed, and then proved, that there were among non-voters a pile of votes for him, a true opposition candidate has to go out and find a bigger pile of non-voters.
Fortunately, they exist among non-urban white Democrats.
Either the Democrat will be elected in 2016, or he/she will be beaten by white, working class votes.
And I don't use "working class" in the modern, ironic meaning of "not working", I mean guys with menial jobs or recently unemployable, with kids, who are being crushed around here and everywhere else in white rural America.
