Who knew such portents of a slight embarrassment?

Like you, I'd have to say we've

 all been steeped in the best ad-

vice, for the last dozen months

or more, from an intelligentsia

insensitive to the tolerance of

anomaly which abounds among our

body politic. Now, they propose

to share their contrarianism at

the least opportune moment, the

election of the next President.

I've argued for empathy but not

for imitation; yet we know rad-

icals only scoff, when we've no

plan to seize our government by

sores to bare, ghosts to blame,

or scourges to invoke upon God.

  

Whatever their reasons ..

despite how many of them 

think Mr. Trump has been 

detrimental to the party, 

more than eight in 10 Re-

publican voters are falling 

in line behind their nominee.
