George Conway: "We have a president who basically can't think. He can't think. He is a man who doesn't think. He acts on impulse. He is not capable of strategic thought. He has no idea what he is doing. He'll change his mind three times a day. He says things that make no sense. His brain is scrambled."

Trump is going to hate this.
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
Henry Ford was generally a racist and a bad person, but he understood something our current broligarchs have completely forgotten.
He said: I have to pay my workers enough to afford the products they’re building.
Give them a house, decent schools, reasonable healthcare.
If I do that, they’re not descending on my Dearborn mansion with pitchforks while I eat my caviar.
We’ve lost that plot entirely.
We have broligarchs who want to be trillionaires and they’re missing the lesson that a deeply flawed man figured out a hundred years ago.
