The bottom line for the Democratic Party is centralized control of the masses by people who are simply a whole smarter than they are. That’s why they talk about “how smart” the party leadership is. Remember Bill Clinton, Rhodes Scholar? John Kerry, smartest guy to ever graduate from Yale (even his grades were worse than GWB’s)? And then there’s out current President, a graduate from Columbia and Harvard Law, whose grades and LSAT scores are sealed forever in a memory hole?
There’s a problem with all those smart people though. They really aren’t all that smart. Scheming, greedy for power, effective manipulators, yes. Smart? Not so much.
Look at the evidence. The US is $17T in debt with no hope of doing anything but digging a deeper hole over the next decade. Dark blue states and cities are insolvent and going bankrupt. Illinois, California, Detroit, Chicago, a half dozen major cities in Pennsylvania and the latest to hit the radar, New York State.
