What Would George Washington Say?
Imagine that George Washington is awakened from the dead, brought to the city named after him, and given an exhaustive briefing on what has happened during the past two-and-a-quarter centuries. His return is “breaking news” everywhere. Journalists claw their way to get close enough to where they can shout, “Do you have any opinion about the upcoming election, Mr. First President?”
“Indeed I do,” Washington replies. “Can it be that Americans still have eyes, but no longer see, and still have ears, but no longer hear? It was insane to elect Trump President. It was insane not to remove him from the Presidency each time he was impeached. It would be even more insane to elect him President again.”
