Mitt figures something out
Listening and reading a few bits of last night's NH Repooflican speechifying.
Old Misteromney comes through with something new and important.
The other candidates are just reciting the pure Goldman Sachs mantra, with as much meaning as a rosary. ZERO TAX FOR BILLIONAIRES ZERO TAX FOR BILLIONAIRES ZERO TAX FOR BILLIONAIRES.
Mitt talks about something much more human, something the ruling class has totally forgotten: Learning from experience. He describes his experience with the Mass health care plan, notes the good and bad points, blames himself for errors. He's closing the feedback loop, which is the only way you get a functional system.
Highly refreshing by comparison. The other "acceptable" candidates are operating in pure Team mode. All mistakes are caused by The Other Team and all good things flow from My Team; even when the two Teams are doing precisely the same things, which of course they are. This broken loop guarantees tyranny. My Team is free to commit unlimited evil because the resultant suffering will be blamed on the mere existence of The Other Team.
However: Misteromney still lacks decisiveness, still has the instincts of a cautious bureaucrat. "I'll have to consult my lawyers on that."
Not good enough. Trump is telling us in precise detail what he will do, and Misteromney needs to match that if he wants to get anywhere.
More importantly, Trump's proposals will help the American people, while all the other candidates are still exclusively focused on serving China and Arabia. Goddamn slaves. ¶ 5:24 AM
