Trump Means the End of Liberal Small-Ball Governance

The whole point of small ball, from basketball to baseball to poker to politics, is that you don’t do big plays and risky things. You aim to win through cunning and deception and your mastery of the rules.
Small ball fits the liberal agenda because Americans really don’t want what liberals are offering.

He believes in Steve Bannon calling the New York Times to tell the Carlos Slim kids to put it where the sun don’t shine. He believes in stopping Muslim immigration until we know what is going on -- as of 4:30 p.m. Friday.
And Americans have never seen anything like it.
