The rise of Trump is emblematic of the demise of the practiced politician. Cuomo’s loss is symptomatic of the demise of the practiced politician. Each party is dealing with this fact. The Republicans are stunned into sycophantic submission. The Democrats are still in denial. The Democrats need to wake up soon to the reality of the 21st century that voters are sick and tired of the practiced politician’s hollow promises and ineffective leadership. The days of telling people what you think they want to hear to get elected then settling into a comfortable Washington lifestyle are over.
