I think Conrad Black’s diatribe against the Democratic Party at the New York Sun, reprinted at RealClearPolitics, is one of the harshest I’ve seen. IMO most of it is excessive but there’s one passage with which I agree:
The great Democratic party of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, and even up to a point Clinton, has given way to an unfeasible ragtag of superannuated tyros, influence peddlers, decayed servitors, and now completely unacceptable extremists personified by the likely nominee to be mayor of New York City, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, an economic Marxist who does not accept the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state and expresses sympathy for calls to globalize the intifada.
The Democrats have no plausible opponents to Mr. Trump, no policy except Trump-hate, and have carried to its logical extreme the great liberal death wish.
I’ll continue on a related topic in the next post.
