"New" isn't necessarily better. Sometimes it's not even new.
Rarely have those truisms been more true than in the last two weeks, when Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Nikki Haley offered themselves as exemplars of "a new generation" of Republican leadership.
Sanders, the truth-challenged former Trump press secretary turned Arkansas governor, did it Feb. 7 in the Republican rebuttal to President Biden's State of the Union speech. Three times she said "it's time" for new leadership, and she noted that, at 40, she was half as old as Biden, the nation's oldest president.
