Как говорится, и сам мудак, и шутки соответствующие.
Стив Шмидт, руководитель избирательной кампании Маккейна в 2008, как всегда, подбирает точные слова.
"Free market American capitalism is worth defending in my view. Liberal democracy is worth defending. The US-led liberal global order despite all of its flaws, it has secured the peace, it has lifted billions of people planet out of abject poverty into something approaching prosperity over the last 73 years. All of this is worth defending. It was architected by giants. Conceived by FDR. Built by a plain spoken man from Independence, Missouri, Harry Truman. Stewarded from John Kennedy to Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama and the departure from it by this president, his fetishizing autocrats from Erdogan to Putin to President Xi -- It is disturbing. Our allies who we are connected to by shared history and values are rightly concerned. But I do believe that the American people don't want to live in Trumpistan. They want to continue living in America. This is a fundamental question in 2018. This is the most important midterm election in American history. Because if this is not repudiated in November, this country's going down a track of not just decline but a fundamental change that will be very, very difficult to change the trajectory that we're on."
