I have specific topics to address over the course of the next 14 endless weeks as we stumble towards what the outcome will be of this unbelievably awful election. But the news just keeps coming, so I will continue posting articles from other sources interspersed with some writing of my own. I keep saying that there will be such an implosion in the Trump campaign that he just will fall off the map, but the very number of embarrassingly awful things he’s saying seem to cancel each other out. Those of you who think that somehow a Trump in the White House would listen to sane, thoughtful advisers should ask why that’s not happening now. So, for today, an article from the Washington Post that addresses the principled reactions of some Republicans to Trump’s outrageous comments on the Khans and his apparent ignorance about just what is going on in the Ukraine. That should be enough for today.
