Pat Caddell Could See Over the Horizon

[Geee]

I never knew precisely what made Pat so urgent, and maybe he didn’t either. But I think it could all be put into the broad file of Signs We Are Losing America. Pat saw the Democratic Party of his youth become lost, then corrosive. He was watching the erosion of the American architecture accelerate in real time, and the options for the country seemed to be narrowing.

At its core, to Pat, the erosion was the alienation between elite institutions that had been taken over by political elites, and the mass of regular hardworking Americans who were schooled in American values and felt their country was being lost.  The divide was growing, and years ago -- years before Trump was even threatening a run -- Pat described to me how a wave was coming that reflected this divide.
