Donald Trump struck an interesting note in his State of the Union address, highlighting the gauzy if oversimplified version of American history out of favor in intellectual circles. Was it a savvy move? Also, Iowa’s mess of a caucus did send one clear signal: Joe Biden isn’t the frontrunner anymore.

     I like the Trump showmanship.  It’s fun, and more importantly, it appeals to a constituency that does not care for the pomp.  Plus the people who were honored deserved it.  The problem is that Trump sometimes crosses the line from showmanship to obnoxiousness.
