Zakaria: The U.S. Is ‘Politically Paralyzed’ and ‘Politics Has Become a Branch of Reality TV with Daily Insults’

‘The shift in reputation that we are witnessing around the world is not so much about the rise of China but rather, the decline of America’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ZAKARIA: "Meanwhile, consider how the United States must now look to the rest of the world. It is politically paralyzed, unable to make major decisions. Politics has become a branch of reality TV with daily insults, comebacks and color commentary. America’s historic leadership role in the world has been replaced by a narrow and cramped ideology. Foreign policy itself has become a partisan game with Washington breaking international agreements, shifting course and reversing policy almost entirely to score political points at home. The shift in reputation that we are witnessing around the world is not so much about the rise of China but rather, the decline of America."
