Democracy- A Glass Half Full But Leaking
("Warnock Beats Walker, Giving Democrats 51st Senate Seat")
"The people have spoken." Indeed Senator Warnock they have, but what did they say?
That Herschel Walker was a historically poor candidate. That Donald Trump has a nose for losers. And this country is so divided that the quality of the Republican party's selection is virtually irrelevant.
In what universe, given the Grand Canyon of differences in the moral and intellectual heart of these two men, should the vote have been anywhere near the nail biter it was? Mr. Walker, with more holes than he ran through at University of Georgia, still able to keep the score close until late in the fourth quarter of this game.
What did the people of Georgia say to this country yesterday? That our democracy is a glass barely half full. And leaking.
