      The right may not have good ideas, organizational skills, charm, ethics, understanding of economics, history, or politics, or strength in numbers, but they do have the one thing more important than all of these.

      Money!

        I’d argue they do have organizational skills and and strength in numbers. Don’t underestimate that.

        You don’t get and keep money without some of these skills though.

          Eric Trump says “what?!”

          And this after his father would have made 8 times more money by simply leaving it in the bank than all of his variety of hotel and Sharper Image steak sales businesses - he’s literally the only one I’ve ever heard of who managed to lose money running a casino!

          “The system” is what makes wealth, not individual people these days. Obviously not solely, but the above example shows how it is the primary determination factor.
