David Brooks vs. George Will

This is just Brooks giving an ill-disguised boost to what's left of the Bush-family wing of the GOP in their quixotic quest to take back control of the party, rather than submit to the reality that you can't do that when at best only 20% of GOP voters will vote for your 'principled' corporate stooges if Trump or a Trumpist loon is on the primary ballot whom they can vote for.

all of that is standard brooks. the more notable thing was where he directly compared, on one hand, the possibility of bernie sanders winning the democratic primary and then having to win the general election before facing a 50-50 senate, and on the other, the open pit corruption of donald trump (which, in brooks' telling gets reduced to "morally unacceptable to millions"), and then sympathizes with those who would find both sides intolerable

the old guard GOP who view themselves as the most respectable, moderate and sensible people in the USA, and the best and most able to lead the entire world, have been willfully blind to the fact that since 1968 they have deliberately bound themselves to the worst-educated, most racist, and religiously fanatical segments of the population in order to gain and keep power. this blindness is now incurable. they are lost souls howling in a wilderness of their own making.

"We didn't think the tiger would eat OUR faces," lamented the old guard of the Face Eating Tiger Party.

I'm interested in how he conceives of the right's problem as morality and the left's problem as ideology does he have a whole theory about this or is just brainfarting it out. actually I'm not that interested

After the infield fly rule was introduced

i'd guess it's probably from around the time j crew became a company
