The Explanation

Gerard Baker’s speculation in his Wall Street Journal column that Trump is actually a covert Democratic operative reminded me of Robert Conquest’s Third Law of politics:

The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.

from which I deduce that the Republican Party is a bureaucratic organization.

    I assume you mean Gerard Baker. The article is behind a pay wall, but given the basic introductory concept Mr Baker may want to seek the help of a mental health professional.

  • Yes, Gerard. Thank you. Fixed. He’s basing his case on the Mr. Trump’s assertion during the Georgia senate races that Republicans shouldn’t vote and his recent advice that Republicans shouldn’t vote in the upcoming midterms.

    The WSJ characterizes the link as a “free link”. I’m surprised it’s still behind a paywall.
