He's right of course but it will make little difference to Trump's base.

An interesting piece in the NYT that purports to show that Donald Trump is not a new phenomenon but the latest embodiment of an undercurrent in US life that has always been there:

Our biggest mistake would be to believe that Trumpism is a historical exception.

when people say “this isn’t who we are”, they are wrong. It is exactly who they are!
Seems to be rumbling on. I think the WH thinks the NYT isn't taking Trump seriously enough and is missing the broader threat to America's standing and democracy. The paper has also been put on the chopping block by some for moving from a liberal bias to an illiberal bias.

This makes two men in the Presidential race with obvious disqualifying mental health issues. And the same man is the largest donor to both their superpacs! No one would write a political thriller with a plot like this, it would be too silly. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...gQFnoECCQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2-FQjzXLjVbH_gcVla3XdvRFK explained:

It's very easy to be Republican these days - just follow a carefully defined script, repeat ad nauseam and let the dollars roll in.
