The Problem in Portland

T

Apparently, the real problem in Portland Saturday night was not that a Trump supporter was murdered for being a Trump supporter. Nor is it that the city was patrolled by a mob poised to assault anyone who challenged the control it had been exercising over parts of the city for months. The real problem is that Trump supporters chose to challenge the mob by entering a city they had every right, as...

AND THE WINNER IS

A

Thanks to all of you who voted in the recent contest to pick the worst of the Never Trumpers. It was close, but the gold medal goes to David Frum, the silver medal goes to David French, and the bronze medal goes to John Kasich.

WHO’S THE WORST ONE?

W

The Never Trumpers as a group take self-righteousness, sanctimony, and self-regard to levels seldom seen outside of clinical settings. Or Hollywood. And now they are very busy indeed: speaking at Democratic conventions, writing open letters to the Washington Post denouncing Donald Trump, congratulating each other on their “courage” in joining the rest of the media, the academy, and...
