1. Frum is a bright man, bright enough to not miss the things he doesn't address

money in politics, and how libertarianism and greed are undermining both democracy and income equality. You don't have these problems in the 1950s, but you sure got 'em now, and it's all about Wall Street growth and greed and billionaires tilting the lobbyists and laws to suit their own greed. Republican Party needs cleansing if not flushing, and you've got to get televangelists out of politics too.

2. I propose a change in gerrymandering.

The minority parties should draw the maps. Over time they gain enough power to become majority and the other party gets to do it. I believe, over time it evens out a bit.

3. Cuomo has the answers. Frum should acquaint himself with the Cuomo model.
