Cilizza’s myopia is typical of the blindness of the cartel. Cillizza names only professional politicians.
The Democrat bench is big and crowded with businessmen from Silicon valley and Seattle area, and businessmen throughout the country. Imagine a Mark Cuban or Daymond John. Imagine a Bill or Melinda Gates.
But the cartel still is isolated in the beltway and has learned nothing. Maybe it is better for us to allow them their delusions.
Does anyone think Bill Gates might run against Trump? Or is he too into his business to bother with it? When Trump won, that set a precedent.
