I wonder how many voted for Trump because they were comforted by assurances that his schtick was an act and not how he& #39;d govern. What excuses will they cling to now?

Even now, I& #39;ll bet as the election gets closer there will be a pull in the coverage, a hesitation to treat Trump as destructive to the country as he has obviously been, because balance seeking, both sides traditions are dear to how one covers a campaign.

Honestly I feel kind of bad about constantly referring back to this column, because it& #39;s of a piece with many similar normalization efforts, but the condescending headline of this one has just stuck to me like a burr. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/calm-down-well-be-fine-no-matter-who-wins/2016/11/04/e5ca3c32-a2d3-11e6-a44d-cc2898cfab06_story.html">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...

I feel like the people coming at me with, "This would be going on if Clinton was president too" really haven& #39;t fully grasped the Trump doctrine of always take a bad situation and make it much, much worse.

Trump went out of his way to signal he& #39;ll protect racist cops. I don& #39;t think that& #39;s incidental to where we are. https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/20/opinions/policing-reform-trump-administration-ifill/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/2...
