As I read your latest offering, I cannot help but reflect on the behavior of former Vice-President Mike Pence. If, in the days immediately following Trump's coup attempt, he had said what he is saying now regarding Trump's attempt to remain in power, we might not ever have reached such a perilous point as this. The rioters wanted you dead, Mike. Did you somehow think they might vote for you?
Good point, and there will be more "what ifs" when Pence's candidacy ends. It is a strange dynamic at work here, in general. With few exceptions (Christie, Hutchinson), Trump's rivals for the nomination are afraid of him (or more specifically, afraid of his followers). How can you defeat someone you're afraid of? It can't be done.
I guess Trump running for president after being indicted a number of times is the Puritanical, American version of Italy electing a porn star to parliment. She had a pnechant for bearing her breasts during her first campaign. It was a little transparent (double meaning intended).
Hi George. I daresay Stormy Daniels couldn't be elected to anything here. Then again, I didn't think a reality TV host could either. "Transparency" would definitely be called.
I need an editor. Self editing is not working for me. Please excuse the improper use of the word bearing in my previous comment. It should have baring.
I need an editor, too. Every time I press the "publish now" button, I shudder because I know I'm going to catch a typo or syntactical error later on. And there is no way of correcting them without republishing the entire column as an update in a new email. So I have to accept the inevitable. Thanks for being a subscriber. -TC
