David Brooks Lamentation: The GOP Is Rotting

David Brooks has had a thankless task since 2000. He has had to defend the policies of the Republican Party first under George W. Bush and 9/11 and the Iraq War and then Wall Street Housing Collapse. This was quickly followed in 2008 to 2016 by the Newt Gingerich+Mitch McConnell Scorched Earth NO DEAL policy with any proposals made by President Barack Obama. And now he has had to endure the Defacement of a Democracy by Donald Trump.

For the last year David Brooks chats on PBS News Hour in Friday political wrap-up entitled  Shields and Brooks have been more and more anguished. Now that agony has gushed forth in the following lamentation for the demise of the Republican Party. This is a true felt Greek tragedy peroration – not to be missed.
