This wasn't far from assessments CNN contributors made Friday morning following the ex-president and current felon's rambling jeremiad.

But Americans' choices, often informed by bad or misleading data, political jeremiads, or profit-seeking advertising, are among the causes.

For an outsider with no political experience beyond his cable news appearances and his “anti-woke” jeremiads against corporate liberalism, Mr. Ramaswamy is showing some staying power.

So much for the phony public jeremiads from Norman and his chief recruiter, Mickelson, about how LIV is some kind of liberation from PGA Tour oppression and is the future of the game.

With the Justice Department targeting Mr. Trump, his antigovernment jeremiads lately sound like those once relegated to the outer edges of the political spectrum.
