David Broder, RIP
This is from a column he wrote on the Senate version of ObamaCare:
Nine of 10 Republicans and eight of 10 independents said that whatever passes will add to the torrent of red ink. By a margin of four to three, even Democrats agreed this is likely. That fear contributed directly to the fact that, by a 16-point margin, the majority in this poll said they oppose the legislation moving through Congress.… Every expert I have talked to says that the public has it right. These bills, as they stand, are budget-busters.
It’s hard to imagine but Broder appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press 400 times over a 45-year period.
I always thought Broder was a straight shooter.
I always enjoyed Broder. He was a straight shooter.
