Marty Kaplan writes: “We’re suckers for the patriotic mythology and gauzy imagery of town halls and high school gyms where candidates get grilled and caucus-goers speak up and get counted. But the power of Iowa and New Hampshire isn’t a reward for the superior candidate-scrutinizing skills that their citizens inherently possess; it’s a consequence of state party officials flexing their muscles over the calendar.”
Ever get the sense this guy just doesn’t like America, particularly middle America? Jews like Marty Kaplan fear populism and nativism and nationalism. They prefer government by elites.
Ever notice that elites tend to think America works much better than ordinary people think? Because the game is rigged against the ordinary hard-working America who doesn’t want welfare and doesn’t want more immigration.
