Donald Trump expressed doubts about Ted Cruz’s evangelicalism. Then he questioned Ben Carson’s Seventh-Day Adventism. Now, he’s questioned Mitt Romney’s Mormonism:
“Trump on Romney: ‘Are You Sure He’s a Mormon?'”
And he’s just renewed his personal attacks on Megyn Kelly, of Fox News:
I don’t believe that there has ever been so publicly unpleasant a major-party frontrunner as Donald Trump, and so distasteful a presidential campaign.
My disdain for Mr. Trump increases every day.
I simply cannot understand how any decent, principled people can support this man.
I suppose that, if he were a genuine financial genius and a principled conservative with a demonstrated commitment to human rights, limited constitutional government, and free speech, with well-thought-out policy positions on job creation, Islamist terrorism, and other pressing current questions, and if he hadn’t advocated war crimes, and if he weren’t such an abject sexist, I might conceivably be able to overlook his crass and vulgar boorishness and his amorality, hold my nose, and vote for him. Unfortunately, though, I can find no redeeming qualities in him that outweigh his vast negatives.
I understand, of course, that some are exasperated with my opposition to Mr. Trump. I’m sorry about that.
But, as Martin Luther is (falsely) reputed to have said before the Imperial Diet at Worms, “Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise.”
As he definitely did say, “I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me.”
