A few worthwhile articles on the continuing crisis.
For those who want to support Mr. Trump because of his good attitude toward the judiciary:
“Trump’s Outrageous Attack on Judge Curiel”
It’s painful to see people lined up to kiss the Leader’s ring:
George F. Will, “The Price Paul Ryan Has Paid”
Has Newt Gingrich — who hasn’t exactly covered himself with glory over the past few months — permanently destroyed his chance of becoming Mr. Donald Trump’s vice president? Will any respectable person want be Mr. Trump’s vice presidential running mate?
“Trump calls Gingrich criticism of judge comments ‘inappropriate'”
Of course, apart from Mr. Trump’s many non-redeeming qualities, how many people really want to line up to be his principal seat mate on the Titanic?
Because he’s very probably going to be a historic loser. (And what an appropriate title that will be!)
My vote is unlikely to make much difference. Hillary Clinton will almost certainly win the Democratic presidential nomination even if (as is very possible) she loses the California primary tomorrow. And, unless she completely implodes or is indicted or faces a third-party challenge from Bernie Sanders, she’ll almost certainly take the White House.
And it won’t be my fault. Nor will it be entirely the fault of the voters who foisted Mr. Trump upon us — perhaps the most repugnant major-party candidate in American history. We had a chance to regain the White House, but the odds were always against us, and the choice of Mr. Trump as our standard-bearer without standards simply made them worse:
“Why Republicans Should Be Worried”
So we need to think about the post-Trump future that will arrive, almost inevitably (and with a resounding crash), in early November of this year:
“Power is Not the Point, Truth Is — Defining Conservatism After Trump”
“When You Can’t Stand Your Candidate”
