No foolin’ Don’t you think Trump knows that? It’s strategy. Figure it out.
A note from history.
Samuel Gompers/AFofL, understood what Disraeli in Britain and Von Bismarck in Germany, had achieved politically. He was a personal friend and a confidant of Teddy Roosevelt and both perceived non-socialist Labor as a natural R constituency. They tried to effect this political realignment but Taft another establishment jackass, wouldn’t have it. This was the crux of the Bull Moose insurgency in 1912; a monumental opportunity that was missed and a fateful turn made.
