When Democrats go small, Trump goes big

Oceans of ink have been spilled attempting to pinpoint the Democrats’ problem in the Trump era. Democratic partisans insist they have a mere “messaging” problem, not a policy or character problem. A smaller contingent believes the party needs new ideas and a willingness to compromise.

But the truth is simpler than all that. The reason Trump continues to clobber this era’s Democrats is because they think small and act small, all while talking big, which has tmiddhe unfortunate effect of making them appear even smaller. Meanwhile, Trump, especially in his second term, has set his eyes on history and occasionally hit the mark. He just did in Israel — bigly.
