“I’m bored,” an operative confided to InsiderNJ as he sat in an unnamed headquarters in North Jersey, trying to figure out how to make politics feel exciting again, as if the contest mattered – like a ballgame with guys on base and the outcome perilously in the balance with every pitch.

But is it really that bad?

There’s truly nothing happening of consequence?

Let’s be honest.

Yeats wrote, and it strikes a chord now, especially as we see Donald Trump preparing for another demonic run for the White House amid the tatters of a placating Republican Party.

There still may be some life left.

Even… just…a… little… life… left.

Let’s find it.
