On Winston Churchill, Trump's Unfitness to be President, and Questions about our Process

Winston Churchill: «The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.»

Yes, as I blogged several months ago, Donald Trump may win the presidency. The polls are tightening and he has even pulled into a lead in a number of battleground states. To be sure, Hillary Clinton is a flawed candidate, but every presidential candidate and president has been flawed. That Trump is doing as well as he is speaks ill of this process.

I remain of the view that anyone who has seen Trump publicly mock a disabled reporter at one of Trump's rallies — an act that has been broadcast widely enough for all to have seen — and who still votes for Trump to be president is seriously misguided, to put it politely.☐
