Stop scolding, Dems!, shaping the new GOP and other commentary

Conservatives: Democrats, stop scolding!

“One of the lessons the left should learn from this election is that you can't win elections just by getting angry and scolding people.” F.H. Buckley points out in the Wall Street Journal. “American history is a list of events that should never have happened, and it's not patriotic to think that half of Americans are trash.” “Today's left is elitist, and the right is populist.” “The old progressives were proud of America and how different it was from other countries.” Therefore, “if the left wants to find a way to recover, it must do good and admit ills.” We should start by owning everything in the past, including the past.''Emancipation from our history and our patriotism can only be found in the history that has always provided a source of salvation. can.”

From the right: The formation of the new Republican Party.

“When Donald Trump took the oath of office in 2017, his party was divided.” Eight years later, “he is the undisputed leader of the Republican Party.” Matthew Continetti speaks to the Free Press. “The Republican Party has shifted in a more populist and nationalist direction,” with its 2024 platform adopting “positions on trade, rights, and peace long associated with the Democratic Party.” Meanwhile, in addition to the Democratic Party's “tolerance of social disorder and embrace of fairness over merit, open borders, gender ideology, and censorship,” Biden's inflation and immigration crisis will lead to “a decisive shift toward the Trump Republican Party nationwide.” brought about.” ” But beware of the “danger” of seeing Trump’s “conclusive victory as an unconditional endorsement of his character and policies.”

Libertarians: Kamala didn't win a fair fight

Pundits, pollsters, and geeks are trying to explain why Kamala Harris did poorly on Election Day. Suggested by Reason's Christian Britschgi “Clear and unambiguous overall reason'': “Her experience as a prosecutor did not prepare her for a fair fight.'' I enjoyed everything.” As a U.S. senator, “she shined in committee hearings by asking unfair and leading questions of detained witnesses.” But “without the prosecutor's safety net, Mr. Harris suffered.” She “attempted to rectify her flaws as a terrible retail politician by hiding” from media interviews for weeks. It “didn't work in a tough election where voters expect you to be aggressive in making your case.” It didn't give the prosecution any advantage and it fought Trump squarely. As a result, “she turned out to be completely outclassed and unprepared.”

Obituary: Bernie Marcus's unabashed Zionism

Home Depot founder, philanthropist and billionaire Bernie Marcus has died at the age of 95 and was in the process of giving away most of his fortune. Commentator Seth Mandel pays tribute. Before coming to the university, he “wanted to see what Jewish students face and to feel pride and comfort in their Jewish faith.” “Marcus also donated to organizations like Hillel International, and to programs that send young Jews to Israel.'' When he “got into Harvard Medical School but couldn't afford it,” he “found other dreams, one of which was the concept that became Home Depot.” ”. Lesson: “We should be less apologetic about our successes and less apologetic about Zionism.”

Law Fair Beat: The Flying Dutchman's Rout

Trump's victory turned the various lawsuits against him into “a legal version of the Flying Dutchman, a ship that sails endlessly but is destined never to enter port.” Jonathan Turley explains on The Hill:. “If there was one captain of that ill-fated crew, it was Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, who truly became a lame-duck prosecutor.'' New York Judge Juan Marchan said that while it is possible that Mr. Trump could be sentenced to prison, “such a draconian sentence, even a brief one, would trigger an immediate appeal and likely be put on hold.'' “I guess so.” And Georgia's lawsuit is “legally flawed and likely to fail on appeal.” Tuesday's victory may not end all “legal battles,” but “it may effectively end the war.”
