David Brooks a critical realist? - I think CRists are by nature "permanent outsiders":
"You need to detach yourself from Washington’s ping-pong match of ideological overreach — as each party interprets victory as a mandate to grab everything.
You made a good start in the State of the Union address, I would tell him. In that speech, you began to reclaim the mantle of the permanent outsider."

critical realists might come to power by historical fluke, but they are not apt for staying in power without losing their "edge"...
