The Third Adams Presidency
After Donald Trump himself, who was the most important person to Trump's victory?
I vote Scott Adams. The man had quite a year!

Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
The funny thing is, he wasn't even supporting Trump. He was just explaining Trump, for the most part.
ReplyDeleteBy a country mile it was Ann Coulter. I think only once before has a single individual affected an election to this extent. From what I recall, Coulter wrote her book and appeared in a debate with Jorge Ramos. After seeing that Trump ordered the book and placed immigration at the centre of his campaign. She also kept contact with the campaign via e-mailing Lewandowski and berating them for going off script.
DeleteI enjoyed reading Scott Adams even if his, not so concealed, advocacy for Trump but not sure he affected the campaign so much as he explained it.
