G.O.P. Reality Distortion: Trump's Fact and Policy free Campaign Success

David Brooks' The Choice Explosion fails to add false choice in the mix, for example Donald J. Trump. He proves the lie to many G.O.P. orthodoxies, such as tax cuts for the wealthy grows earnings for middle and low income earners, and feeds off their political tactic of finding everything wrong with Obama, even denying the administration's progress with economic and job growth that Romney, if he had been elected in 2012, would have been proud to tout today as a great success. The political reality of the right has been so distorted that a real mandate is difficult to discern. It's why Trump's policy and fact free campaign does so well.
