Obama and the Democrats are moving faster outside the consensual zone than public opinion can absorb. Appointing a tax cheat as Secretary of the Treasury and a Clinton combo as Secretary of State that profits privately in the tens of millions from foreign donors are so far beyond the consensual norm that people, including opposition politicians, do not know how to react.

Can our Republic survive this attack on the social contract? It’s not certain.
