The State of the Union, then, two days later, the speech from his heart!

In American Greatness, Matthew Boose writes in part,

...First it was a maundering Russian fever dream that held its target audience, the corporate leftist media, in rapt attention for the better part of two years, then a Ukranian soap opera that was somehow even more esoteric and insane. It was a joke from start to finish, but also it wasn’t. It did profound harm to the nation. Nothing like it has ever happened in American history.

To adoring imbeciles in the media, Buttigieg is “Neoliberal Man,” the uncreated ideal of “meritocracy.” He deserves to be president because he sounds smart. But a president doesn’t need fancy credentials or “smarts.” What he needs is heart.
