will, i try not to be hyperpartisan and put everyone in the same lot. with brooks i disagree a lot but i've never seen him as a spiteful or poisonous presence in national politics. i feel the same about george will, who is even farther to the right than brooks. you may disagree, but you can reason against their reasoning. it's a fair and civilized debate.
it's much better to have rational conservatives as the opposition than the tribalistic hordes we have to face right now, oblivious to fact and logic and any kind of sense. i miss sensible republicans for sure.
i don't think hillary lost due to misoginy. not saying that wasn't there, of course it's there, but she was also simply a terrible candidate who's taken almost a year to realize (per her recent book) that she should have told trump at the debates to physically back off her. that type of wit of the staircase-- such a long long staircase-- shows zero instincts. and a leader needs good instincts, right then and there, not months later. sorry man. she might have ben qualified but she sucked as a campaigner.
as for kaine... i found him boring, but who knows what he'll do when he's allowed to steal the spotlight? i didn't see much from him as hillary's jabroni.
also i don't know julián castro so i have zero opinion. but would be nice to see someone capable for a change.
