That acting without judicious study didn't give them the "new reality" they imagined, it just created a bigger mess.

But bowling things over is all they knew. The aide has subsequently been tagged as being Karl Rove. Blowing off accepted norms was his stock in trade. Even that runs out after it burns down enough norms. Rove and others like him <cough>Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson<cough> spent their careers paving the road to Trump.
