Tom Suozzi represents the traditional model of politics in which a candidate gains trust as he or she moves up the food chain.  Some start as school board members or city council persons.  Donald Trump and George Santos bypassed all the pre-requisites with lies so bold and brazen that otherwise sensible people swallowed them whole.  If lies are more effective than truth and more profitable, then people like Trump, Santos and Madoff will tell them.  Promise the voters that you are going to build a $27 billion wall across our southern border and that Mexico will pay for it.  Then, just tell the American people that you did build the wall.  They'll believe you! Mission accomplished!  Republicans are right.  We don't live in democracy.  We live in an Idiocracy.
