"They [the masses] want to be delivered from the bugaboos that ride them. They want to be soothed with mellifluous words. They want heroes to worship. They want rough entertainment suitable to their simple minds. The science of politics under democracy consists of trading with them, i.e., in hoodwinking and swindling them. ... It is combat between jackals and jackasses." -- H. L. Mencken, Notes on Democracy, A New Edition, p. 87.
Stockman did great, fending off that gaggle of FoxNews nit-wits, who are clearly naive on foreign policy but outright stupid on economics. Yes, cut military spending, and scale-back our senseless missions to police the world! We're not the Avengers, for Christ's sake!

Robert, would you support a Stockman 2020 bid for the White House?
