John Silber used to routinely lose his temper on the campaign trail long ago...and it did him no good in the end.
That was back in 1990 when all the talk was about faux populist outrage and "angry white males" and puring Washington DC of incumbents etc etc etc.
Sound familiar?
Charlie Baker wants to ride that tidal rage to glory...except Silber really was a hothead whereas Charlie is a boring opportunistic twit who thinks yelling is eloquence and snarling imprecations is the same as sublimely communing with his audience.
We will see how that works out, the antecedents are not promising.
