MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough said Friday that South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham “was right” about former President Donald Trump’s dominance in the party. Scarborough quoted Graham’s 2016 claim that “if the Republican Party nominates Donald Trump, they will destroy themselves and they will deserve it.” The “Morning Joe” host agreed with Graham’s position that Trump has a stranglehold on the party and cannot be defeated by a large pool of potential candidates. “Lindsey Graham was right then, Lindsey Graham is right now,” Scarborough said. Graham ran for president in 2016 but suspended his campaign after failing to gather significant support. On Tuesday, he endorsed Trump’s 2024 campaign during an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.” “I don’t right now see anybody in the field that can beat Donald Trump one on one if Donald Trump decides to run. [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis certainly can’t do that if a Florida high school association is going around following his lead … [Read more...] about Scarborough Says Sen.

Edmund Burke is enjoying a remarkable revival for a British statesman who has been dead since 1797. The last 18 months or so have brought books by Jesse Norman, Yuval Levin and Drew Maciag — a member of Parliament and two American scholars — placing him in the context of political traditions that endure to this day. Their subtitles tell the story: Burke is “The First Conservative” (Norman) or “The Father of Modern Conservatism” (Maciag) or present at “The Birth of Right and Left” (Levin). In “The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke: From the Sublime and Beautiful to American Independence,” David Bromwich explores another facet of this complex thinker: “I write about Burke as a moral psychologist.” Bromwich, a Sterling professor of English at Yale, gives us a figure who may be unknown to readers familiar with Burke only from “Reflections on the Revolution in France” or his reputation as modern conservatism’s founding father. Bromwich’s Burke is one for whom “ordinary feelings such as … [Read more...] about ‘For the Common Good of Humankind’
