The campaign for 2020 has started and the focus is ugliness................


in all its forms. It will include the overt racism of George Wallace. It will also include the false patriotism and scapegoating of Richard Nixon. It will feature the Swift Boating popularized in George Bush's second campaign.

There will be no soaring aspirations, referencing the "Shining City on a Hill" of Reagan or a call to action to "ask not what America can do for you but what you can do for America" of John Kennedy. Those kind of things do not sell in today's GOP. Fear, victimhood, and hate do.
