Peggy Noonan on the Working Class.

Just a brief snippet, but still...
in the Wall Street Journal, nonetheless:

One of the candidates in one of the Republican debates Wednesday night evoked memories of "... the now-frayed connection between the American working class and a Republican Party that 35 years ago became their natural, welcoming home and later threw them over to tend to the causes of the donor class."

"What the GOP got in return was 5,000 donor votes and lots of money with which to make commercials the working class will find neither believable nor even interesting."

Jeb! cannot represent.
Donald can, and Hillary ... it remains to be seen.

No self-respecting working-class man, nor Catholic, nor fiscal conservative could ever vote another Bush to political office.

We can't afford the costs they collectively impose on the nation.

Journalists are now acclimating themselves to the new reality...

A few months ago they thought Mr. Trump and reality TV were climbing over the wall trying to get into the real world of politics.

Now they realize it’s journalists trying to climb over the wall into the new world of reality TV. That, he said, is now the real world of politics.
