. . . a businessman's candidate, hovering around the status quo like a sick kitten around a hot brick.

The status quo sucks.

It breaks up the status quo and it will certainly fracture the Republican vote and give a Democratic candidate an opportunity like there hasn't existed in a long time.

The status quo is simply unacceptable.

Just because the question can be answered doesn't mean that anyone is obliged to answer it, or that it ought to be asked.

Government breeds more government, and a lobbying infrastructure to defend itself.
