At a noisy holiday party, a friend pulled me aside for a quiet conversation. He’s long been a major Democratic donor in New York and nationally but has grown increasingly disenchanted with the party’s far-left policies.
“You were right about Trump,” he whispered, before delivering the bombshell: “And I voted for him.”
We shook hands and laughed.
The election resulted in numerous Dems switching sides, but my friend’s conversion stands out because it shows Trump cut into the top ranks of the party hierarchy. And the conversation came even before President Biden’s pardon proved another shock to Dem officials and their propaganda outlets.
The horror at Biden’s betrayal of his promise not to pardon Hunter recalls the story about the newspaper astrologer who was surprised when he was fired: If he was any good, he would have seen it coming.
