Want a shoot from the hip definition of insanity? Doing the same thing, over & over, while expecting a different outcome
While this post is more than a little late, coming to the party, I offer an explanation for the delay.
Namely, after the abject failure of the Kansas experiment, who in their right mind would
have thought the dimwits would have tried the same thing on a national level?
Well at least we no longer have to worry about how this bit of repeat stupidity is going
to turn out......for Nebraska, and the country, as a whole.

"THE ISSUE: As President Trump and the House GOP propose tax and spending plans that include sharp cuts to income taxes, it’s important to explore what happened when Kansas Governor Sam Brownback implemented similar cuts in 2012. The Brownback plan aimed to boost the Kansas economy, but instead led to sluggish growth, lower than expected revenues, and brutal cuts to government programs. The Brownback tax cuts, one of the cleanest experiments for measuring the effects of tax cuts on economic growth in the U.S., were eventually reversed by a Republican-controlled legislature as a failure."

Both on a physics level and the everyday. Otherwise, why would baseball players take batting practice? To get a different result.

But I agree that repeating an action against insurmountable odds is boneheaded.
Until it isn't.
My Dad ran several times for City Councilor, and finally did win. The repeated exposure and messaging made it happen.
Done give up on your message!! 
It is just a "shoot from the hip" definition. It was not meant to be, nor was it stated to be, an "operational" definition.
At least not the types that one would find in the DSM.... In context of that, insanity is a legal finding, not a Dx.
Maybe I could have called it a cliche', and have received a response to the content of the post, rather than the form.
Regardless, I guess I would take exception to the idea that running for an elected office, is the same as enacting failed policies,
which have proven themselves nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of far, right-wing, republicans.
It would seem a false equivalence, but then that is just me, and I am the one that used a cliche', and called it a definition. 
However, I guess a little ambiguity, is one way for the post to stir the pot enough to get a reaction.
