...Did we have an actual citizen politician here — and, incredibly, an intelligent one? Skeptical old me began to think of Frank Capra movies. Brat even had the diffident, bespectacled look of Jimmy Stewart.
Nah, it couldn’t be, I thought. There are no more Mr. Smiths. As if on cue a report from the Washington Post rocketed across the lower-third of the screen: “Brat will never have power of Cantor” or words to that effect.
Again, I am not so sure. America — some of it anyway — is desperate for new leadership. The people are restless — and fed up. They don’t always know what they are looking for but they are looking for something. With men like Brat, that something is the U.S. Constitution. They could do worse.
