Brooks was a Jeb Bush kind of Conservative  Republican.  How'd that work out?  The "white trash" (a majority  demographic in the US)  under and unemployed went to the polls to support the candidate who addressed their needs.  Five decades of addressing any and all minority positions and needs left little,  if any,   time to address the lot of the 55 year old edger operator at a mill that closed because they could not longer buy logs or timber.  The political elite  didn't address the clerks replaced by IBM machinery and soft ware.  There was a build up of at least two generations or more of white trash,  lower economic scale,  fallen from middle class,  Americans who had no political voice until Trump offered one.  Whose fault?  I would proffer Brooks, et al.  And so we have what we have.  Arrogance lost to attention to detail.  I hope KellyAnne can have influence enough to point that out once again.  Attention to detail.
