New York Times columnist Thomas Edsall’s weekly dispatch is enlightening fare, and not just for his often-astute observations on the state of American politics. Edsall has developed a knack for soliciting revealing quotes from his sources, lulling them into a sense of false security only to tease out their most intemperate inner thoughts.
Edsall’s latest is no exception. His piece on “Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda” notes, unremarkably enough, that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is consolidating Republican-leaning donors, activist organizations, and think tanks behind his campaign. And these forces are assembling not just for the purpose of winning the presidential election; they actually plan to doing something with the power they seek. So far, not much in the way of revelations.
