“Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.” On Fox News, Brit Hume cited a variation of a supposed Churchill remark.

Lack of provenance (Brit Hume wouldn't give us fake news, would he?)

Timeless wisdom, too good to toss.

Reminds me of this gem:

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." Samuel Clemens

and this one that is rumored to be from Clemens, but also has no provenance:

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."

Churchill was smart to stay out of the individual mind-reading business. Easier to read a populace. Even when an election is rigged - the truth comes out - ..."once all the other possibilities have been exhausted."

Since Browder is apparently no fan of Putin, I wonder what his point was in repeating that quote?
