Thanks for the link fix, Richard. It has amazed me for at least a decade how the atomized ghost of the Republican Party continues to succeed electorally, especially at the state level, while lacking a philosophic core. (I know, pandering, gerrymandering and vote suppression.) The Donald Trump fiasco has to be the final straw, right? Liberals keep pointing out the obvious -- that the GOP needs to reinvent itself, coalesce around some vaguely positive vision -- but no one seems able to grab the dangling reins. That an aggressively ignorant, totally unfit, near-incoherent moron should be the one to come closest is truly frightening. So even baby steps out of denial are welcome.

Well here is the link you

"Thoughtful" is a funny word

"Thoughtful" is a funny word to use. There are a number of brilliant (if misguided) conservatives who came up with politico-economic theories (that people once called "neo-liberal"). Think Milton Friedman. There are also a number of cunning conservatives who figured out a strategy for selling these ideas to the masses. Think Karl Rove.

Samuel Goldman just seems a bit naive--a theorist who drank the kool-aid that the strategists were selling. And now he suddenly woke and realized that it was all just a dream.
