  • Spin it hard

    As we have seen over the last six years, if the Democrats can spin it loud enough, long enough, and hard enough that this is a victory for them, voters will believe it. The substance, the reality, the truth of it means absolutely nothing. All that matters is the image. I'd like to think it was different in some hazy nostalgic past, but I believe it was ever thus. There's a sucker born every minute, let's grab the suckers now and worry about consequences later, it's the way of the world.
