OKAY, I LINKED THIS POST YESTERDAY, but this bit is worth breaking out:

I enjoyed Trump’s speech because it was a magnificent statement about America becoming a nation that benefits not the 1% but the 99%. In a funny way, Trump is the real “Occupy Movement,” because his policies, by taking the regulatory yoke off American necks, unleashed American energy, innovation, and creativity — and the 99% did the rest. Trump is not a plutocrat or an oligarch; he is the answer to the plutocracy and oligarchy of the Obama era, a time during which we saw an almost fascistic fusion between government and big money.

We really did.

Plus: “As Trump recited one benefit after another that the American people have experienced over the last three years, the Democrats made plain with their unmoving bodies and grim, petulant faces that they hated that stuff, every bit of it. In their quest for power, they want a failing, desolate, divided America. It’s one thing for them to sit stony-faced when Trump boasts about his specific acts or plans; it’s another thing entirely to sit stony-faced as Trump boasts about the country they’re supposed to be working for.”
