The question often asked of Democrats during their convention was “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” When they weren’t being evasive, many Democrats simply struggled to answer the question as if it were a calculus equation.

After Clint Eastwood gave his performance, the media reacted just like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz. They melted into screams of bitter, ugly resentment.
