Report on the Status of NeverTrump: Sad!
David Azerrad, writing for the LA Times:
The New York Times also reports on the Last of the True Conservatives-- you know, the ones embracing racial reparations.
The conservative case against Trump was strongest during the 2016 Republican primary, when there were many qualified candidates to choose from. Once Trump became the Republican nominee, however, the reasonable conservative case against Trump became the indefensible NeverTrump case for Hillary Clinton. Our presidential elections are, for better or for worse, binary propositions. The known unknowns of a Trump presidency should have been preferable for conservatives to the known knowns of a Clinton presidency. Still, there was no way to fully refute the apocalyptic predictions NeverTrumpers made during the 2016 race, however implausible or silly they were. Now, 2½ years into the Trump presidency, the case for NeverTrumpism has completely collapsed. Not one of the overblown doomsday scenarios that President Trump was supposed to unleash on humanity has panned out. The economy hasn't collapsed. Fascism hasn’t come to America. And we aren't at war with the world. The president, in fact, has an impressive record of conservative accomplishments. Admittedly, it is easy to lose sight of them amid the flurry of tweets, the high turnover rate in the administration and the daily skirmishes with journalists. But Trump has cut taxes, pursued an aggressive deregulatory agenda, boosted the defense budget and appointed two fine justices to the Supreme Court as well as a record number of appellate judges to the federal bench.
The die-hard remnant population of Never Trumpers comes most visibly from the class of Republican consultants, conservative media personalities and a few G.O.P. officeholders safely removed from the considerations of re-election campaigns.And, it could be also be said: those who can raise money from liberals to attack conservatives, which office-holders can't easily do.
...As I was told by a frequent attendee of the "Meeting of the Concerned:" Every meeting consists of them asking "What happened?" without ever reaching an answer or any kind of closure.
There is also money to be made: [Rick] Wilson's anti-Trump manifesto, "Everything Trump Touches Dies," became an instant No. 1 New York Times best seller in 2018, and he is now a constant cable-TV presence. He has another book on the way, lucrative speaking gigs coming in and magazine assignments -- though he says it has not offset the $4.5 million in income he estimates he has lost in recent years from would-be clients. ... Kristol belongs to the category of affable gasbag that Trump marginalized as a relic of whatever nonpopulist establishment still exists inside the G.O.P.: He was the chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle, a loud and influential champion of invading Iraq (which he predicted on C-SPAN would be a "two-month war, not an eight-year war") and someone who has probably picked over as many greenroom fruit plates as anyone in Washington. In the early days of the new administration, Kristol and other shellshocked conservatives around Washington started getting together to commiserate. One of the more regular meetings took place every other Tuesday morning, hosted by the Niskanen Center, a new libertarian think tank started by alumni of the Cato Institute. Hosted by Niskanen’s co-founder, Jerry Taylor, the meetings -- which participants called "the Meeting of the Concerned" --'were held in a conference room in the basement of the CNN building near Union Station. The gatherings attracted a roster of right-of-center familiars: the columnists Mona Charen, David Frum and Jennifer Rubin; the former Oklahoma representative Mickey Edwards; and onetime Republican administration officials like Linda Chavez. They were invitation-only and off the record. Guest speakers were brought in, along with bagels. "There was a lot of discussion around what exactly is going on in the Republican Party," recalled Sarah Longwell, a D.C. trade association, think tank and advocacy veteran who was a semiregular attendee. "We were trying to figure out whether Trump was a symptom or cause."

Neither have I. Other than what I saw of Trump in the debates, most of what I knew about him was what I read in the news.
But despite my misgivings, I knew I would vote for him once he won the nomination. Hillary Clinton is one of the most corrupt and incompetent beings ever to draw breath on this planet. There was no way in hell I would ever vote for that crooked bitch.
I was thrilled Trump won, and I've been more than satisfied with most of what he's done in office. He far exceeded my expectations.

I get Sasse and Lee, up to a point. they do have conservative voting records, in general. And I even get a different sense in which Weld and Hogan can be "acceptable" as the best we can get in their states. But back in the day, no one who called himself a conservative said that made Rockefeller one of us. At most, they'd plump for someone like Ford.
One point they DO make is that, before he took office, no one could disprove the "Trump's playing you; he's no conservative; he'll govern as a liberal."
Well, now we have to say that, if Trump is a stealth liberal, he's done a remarkably good job of keeping that from influencing his policies. (OK, there are a few things to wonder at, like weaker sentencing, but they are no more - at worst - than what the Bushes did.)
Posted by: Eeyore at April 24, 2019 08:22 PM (VaN/j)
Trump has a good camera presence, has a nice sense of the dramatic and generally came across as a smart guy, IMHO.
________________
That was another reason for voting against Hillary: she'd never competently run anything in her life. She was a crooked and incompetent Arkansas lawyer (she didn't sneak into the Rose Law Firm in the dead of night to steal her own billing records because they reflected her competence), she was a crooked and incompetent First Lady (health care hearings fiasco, travel office firings, etc.), and she was a crooked and incompetent Secretary of State ($6 billion of the State Dept. budget unaccounted for, Benghazi, the illegal e-mail server, etc.).
At least Trump had run businesses successfully and made money, which was a lot more than Hillary could say for herself. And NYC real estate and NJ casinos are tough arenas to be successful in; the unions, the mob, the crooked politicians, the ludicrous maze of regulations. It takes some skill and savvy to negotiate through those shark-infested waters, and the fact that Trump was able to do it with the success he did was no small thing -- especially when contrasted with Hillary Clinton's record of ineptitude and failure.

I'm not so concerned about volumes, but instead about the ratio of the bisecting diameter to the
"surface area" of the circle/sphere. It'd be so bizarre if it changed with every ascending dimension. And does the difference between each dimension's ratio get bigger with each step -- or smaller? Or stay the same?

The surface area of a sphere is 4 pi r squared. The area of the bisecting circle is pi r squared. So the name for the mysterious ratio you are seeking is..."4".

One thing specifically that NeverTrumpers no joke need to be executed for? The idea that Donald Trump is a "weak" or ineffective President. He has literally been the prime source of every conservative accomplishment pushed forward thus far. If the Senate wanted to impress me with nominations, they could have confirmed Herman Cain overnight. No. They are not even doing their baseline job, despite democratic legitimacy, the law being on their side, and common sense. Our Congress does not even deserve to be alive. Because just about every failure or issue- the shutdown, Obamacare, the national emergency "rebuke," even the goddamn dossier- can be traced back to the Republican side of Congress.
They all deserve to die.

Zombie, I'm trouble understanding what you're talking about. Consider the unit sphere, a sphere with a radius of 1 unit.
The surface area of that sphere is 4pi square units. The volume enclosed by that sphere is 4/3 *pi cubic units.
I thought you were asking the radio of that surface area to the area of circle formed by bisecting it with a plane. That ratio is simply 4.
The surface area of a sphere is exactly 4 times the area enclosed by a circle of the same radius.

Seem to me that. if I understand the problem correctly, everyone is missing the the distance (d) from the center of the sphere to the surface of the plane is a critical component where d<r. Pi is always involved, but there's gonna be a cosine (or ratio) in there somewhere. Note if d=r the answer is zero!

Bingo, yes, exactly -- " the radio of that surface area to the area of circle formed by bisecting it with a plane. That ratio is simply 4. "
By why would the ratio in 1st/2nd dimensions be 3.1414..., but the ratio in 2nd/3rd dimensions be 4.000? And what then is the ratio in 3rd/4th dimensions? (I.e. the ratio of the surface of a sphere of diameter 1 to the surface of its 4D hypersphere of diameter 1?) And so on to higher dimension? Does the value always change, adn does it always increase, or always decrease, or stay the same, or what?

Trump has gone from the implicit white people's candidate to the guy who names everyone's interests but whites, by name. Gone is the guy who wanted to end the stupid Middle East Wars and not start any new ones. Gone is the guy who wasn't married to the self-destructive "muh lower spending" politics that prevented whites from having any stake in the social safety nets. Now Trump is just another GOP politician ready to screw over whites as long as it marginally improves GDP or government spending.
Trump never understood why he was elected, and he never put in place any successors to what was Trumpism. Now when Trump is gone it'll be back to business as usual in the GOP: pander to everyone but the whites who vote for them and get cheap labor for the Chamber of Commerce.
Bill Kristol should co-opt the New Trump. But certain Special People just can't help themselves.

You're not generalizing this up the dimensional chain correctly. IOW, the ratio of circumference to area of a circle doesn't generalize to the surface area of a sphere to the area of the circle.
Pi has to do with the curvature. Both the area of the sphere and the circle have the curvy factor of pi in them, so it makes sense their ratio is rational.
Now, if you take the surface area of the sphere and compare it to something flat, like that of the unit cube, then you'll always have pi in that ratio.

You're not generalizing this up the dimensional chain correctly. IOW, the ratio of circumference to area of a circle doesn't generalize to the surface area of a sphere to the area of the circle.
Pi has to do with the curvature. Both the area of the sphere and the circle have the curvy factor of pi in them, so it makes sense their ratio is rational.
Now, if you take the surface area of the sphere and compare it to something flat, like that of the unit cube, then you'll always have pi in that ratio.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear
Hmmmm.
Say you have a point -- a singularity.
The you place two points each exactly one-half unit away from that point on exact opposite sides.
Now, in ONE dimension, the "length" of the thing that connects those two points with the singularity in the center is defined as "1". But in TWO dimensions, the "length" of the things that connects those two points but always stays a half-unit from the singularity is defined as "pi" - -i.e. 3.1414...etc. Actually, it's 3.1414/1.
So the ratio is comparing the length of something in 1 dimension to the length of something in two dimensions.
Moving up a step, if you now have that circle (previously mentioned in the 1st/2nd ratio), and "around" it you have the 3D sphere that also connects the two dots but stays a half-unit away from the singularity, the ratio is 4pi/1pi, or 4.000.
So in this case the ratio is comparing the surface of something in 2 dimensions to the surface of something in three dimensions.
And so on up the scale.
Right around now, my brain is starting to hurt.

If "pi" is the ratio of a circle's diameter to its circumference, then what is the ratio of a surface-plane that bisects a sphere to the overall external area of that sphere (i..e the three-dimensional version of pi)? What is the numerical constant of this ratio and what is its name? Or is it also the same value (and name) as "pi"?
Posted by: zombie at April 24, 2019 08:18 PM (5tb4C)
An area to area ratio? A circumference to area ratio? You did not specify which aspect of the circle you meant.
The surface area of a sphere is 4*pi*r^2. Either way, circle circumference or circle area, pi will cancel out of the ratio.

Zombie, some of your baby steps here involve the notion of generalizing the concept of circle or sphere to arbitrary dimensions.
The best definition to use is "the locus of points equidistant to some given point, which we'll call the center".
In 2D that's a circle. In 3D, it's a sphere. In 1D, it's simply 2 points. In 4D, it's the hypersphere.
Now, you try to define the general "volume". In 2D, that's the area enclosed by the circle, in 3D, it's the volume enclosed.
In 1D, that "volume" is simply the distance between those two points, 2*r.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear
OK, now we're getting somewhere! Thanks for clarifying.
We can't do the calculations I seek in 1st/2nd dimension, because one of the measurements is NOT (as I had mistakenly assumed) a "line" of unit 1, but instead two singularity points of unit 0 each. And 0+0=0. And pi/0 is meaningless/infinity.
So, let's just skip that step, and START with 2nd/3rd dimensions, where the answer is "4."
The "locus of points equidistant to some given point, which we'll call the center" in 3D / "locus of points equidistant to some given point, which we'll call the center" in 2D = 4.000.
So: What is "locus of points equidistant to some given point, which we'll call the center" in 4D / "locus of points equidistant to some given point, which we'll call the center" in 3D"?????

Ms. McCord at the podium was the original pic that was placed w her story or a pic of the State Dept building. And, in some of the articles, Ms. McCord was strangely presented as if she was Ms. Claiborne. It was if there was an agreement that no picture of the woman would be released.

you know, if you go back, dork is a synonym for dick.
my younger sisters were in the habit of using the word dork all the time, thinking it meant geek or loser like everyone else did. however, my father grew up with the word meaning "dick."
Some weekend morning at breakfast when my sisters were slinging the word dork around, including telling my dad not to be a dork, my dad decided to set them straight.
he said very sternly, "girls, you should not be using that word, it means something other than what you think it means." then there were some "nuh uhs" and "everyone uses its" until dad said, "girls, the word means penis."
silence. except the sound of bacon sizzling and french toast frying. then about 10 seconds later my youngest sisters mumbles under her breath, "dad is being such a dork."
laughter, giggling, retreat.
the word henceforth meant geek / loser in our household.

Okay Zombie, that's a bit ill defined. A ratio of two loci. A ratio of a sphere to a circle? What do we mean by that. We have to specify that more rigorously. The two differ in dimension. We're comparing a volume to an area. Something in cubic units to square units.
The ratio of 4 above is the ratio of the area enclosed by the locus of points equidistant to the center in 2D, to the surface area swept by the locus of points equidistant to the center in 3D.
We're talking apples to oranges here. :-) They both happen to have units of 2D area (square distance), but other than that, that's sort of ill defined.

Well, we'll see. She's amazingly good at staring down her nose and cackling off any suggestion that she should be anything but a carefree Chardonnay-sipping grandmother in the company of her totally healthy and lovestruck husband.

Zombie, if you're interested in this, you're going to have to start studying. There's a lot of steps between where you are and where you want to be. And that takes some learnin'.

Exactly. Exactly why I wasn't one who salivated over the evidence piling up against her. I just watched in outrage, knowing it wouldn't amount to a hill of beans.
Her demeanor hasn't changed since then, however. Weird how she can keep it together. Carefree is the one human emotion she can fake convincingly.

the woman has always "known" she'd get away with everything so maybe I
don't know what Hillary Afraid looks like.

You've forgotten those lonely Hillary sojourns in the Westchester forests after the election? Hillary suddenly emerging from the morning mist, startling hikers and dog walkers in her disheveled clothes and incoherent chortles? That wasn't confident Hillary, and I don't think Hillary is all that confident at the moment.

Okay Zombie, that's a bit ill defined. A ratio of two loci. A ratio of a sphere to a circle? What do we mean by that. We have to specify that more rigorously. The two differ in dimension. We're comparing a volume to an area. Something in cubic units to square units.
The ratio of 4 above is the ratio of the area enclosed by the locus of points equidistant to the center in 2D, to the surface area swept by the locus of points equidistant to the center in 3D.
We're talking apples to oranges here. :-) They both happen to have units of 2D area (square distance), but other than that, that's sort of ill defined.

OK, with your help, we're homing in on a definition, and thus the answer.
I want to compare the same units of measurement to the same units of measurement.
Are units measuring the "surface" of some subset of the 2D plane the same units as the "surface" of a 3D sphere? I had always assumed the answer was "yes" -- surface is surface, and it can be measured whether it is curved or not - -and those measurements can then be compared to other "surface" measurements.
So my question then becomes, "What is the ratio of the the surface area swept by the locus of points equidistant to the center in 4D, to the surface area swept by the locus of points equidistant to the center in 3D"?

The excerpt describes that guy perfectly. Enjoy seeing him wallow in his dwindling readership, acting like the MSM, pawning off news positive to Trump on to his workers, and chiming in only for snark.
He actually believes the Mueller report found obstruction.
HA!

enclosed by that sphere over a bisecting plane would simple be pi*r^2.
The ratio of those areas would then be exactly 4.
