I join in all the praise for all of the good things that he did. But there is one event that is noteworthy in the decline of American politics and the road to Trump. That was when he broke his “no new taxes” promise
Except for the worst extremists, Americans understand the need for compromise. They still expect the leaders they vote for to at least try to do what they say. The significance of his promise, was that it was made in such a way so it was to be the one thing that his supporters could count on.
After the election, the press reported that he began looking for ways to dump that promise. While many of the reports were based on unnamed sources, he did nothing to deny them. Then he did.
Who can you trust to keep his/her word anymore? If the responsible behave irresponsibly, then is an irresponsible person so different?
This event was not the cause but a milestone in the road to Trumpism.
