Good morning, Happy Belated Veterans Day (I can’t believe I forgot to mention it last week). We owe a debt to prior generations who fought for our freedom, fought against slavery, fought against Communism and Fascism, and sometimes fought in wars whose objectives were unclear. But they all did so pursuant to an oath to serve. In some sense, I feel that this week we made a downpayment on that debt by turning away many of those who diminished our political discourse, undermined our institutions, and made a mockery of our democracy. While too many of these folks got through to victory than I would like, the message was loud and clear. You cannot fool most of the people most of the time. And contrary to how it appears on the Internet, Americans aren’t as stupid as…well…Herschel Walker.
Rather than a Unity Party, as I have noted before, No Labels, the bipartisan organization that birthed the Problem Solver’s Caucus in the House and the G-10 (or 20?) in the Senate, is forging ahead with their plan to have the ability to run a bipartisan unity ticket for president/vice president in 2024, assuming two extreme candidates. A precursor to a third party or just a shock to the system in an attempt to liberate more moderate elements within each party? Who knows…
