After Ace makes note of Rush Limbaugh’s descent off Trump mountain he adds this very important point. (Emphasis, mine.)
Trump’s brand was — I thought — to kick the Washington layabouts and con artists in the ass. But half of his attacks on Cruz were of the variety, “He doesn’t get along with those layabouts and con artists enough; he can’t make Great Deals with those layabouts and con artists, like I can.”
This is the problem with a complete lack of ideology. Sure, it frees you up to say some things that need saying, but you’re also unmoored from any kind of consistent pattern of thought. The guy who’s promising to shake up Washington can’t make it his case in chief against another guy that that other guy is going to shake up Washington.
Well yes — we thought that was (what you) were promising as well, Donald. If you’re just going to cut deals with Reid, McConnell, and Pelosi, then what is the Point of You?
