@JAYNORDLINGER During the Republican primaries, Putin praised Trump, and Trump praised him back. On television, Joe Scarborough pointed out to Trump that Putin kills his political opponents, invades other countries, etc.
Trump said, “He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader, you know, unlike what we have in this country.”
Scarborough pressed him: But what about the killing of political opponents?
Trump: “Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe.”
This is the kind of moral equivalence that would make Oberlin poli-sci profs blush.
Just yesterday, the New York Times asked Trump about Turkey and the depredations now going on. He answered, “When the world sees how bad the United States is and we start talking about civil liberties, I don’t think we are a very good messenger.”
Jeane Kirkpatrick was a Democrat when she spoke at the Republican convention of 1984. (She did not change her party registration until after she left the U.N. and the Reagan administration.) She said that her native party had the habit of “blaming America first.”
What would Kirkpatrick do today, when faced with Trump’s GOP or the Obama-Hillary Democratic party? Many of us are now homeless.
May it not last forever …

At National Review, we’re in the tank — for the truth. And the truth this week is that the Democratic party is set to nominate for president a former Secretary of State who has a legacy that is chilling and dangerous.

what NRO is reduced to:
Vice President Joe Biden officiated at the wedding of two male White House staffers yesterday, despite belonging to the Roman Catholic Church, which teaches that marriage is a sacrament that can occur only between a man and a woman.
You do not have to be an opponent of gay marriage or even a religious person to see the contradiction in Biden’s actions. By officiating at this ceremony, Biden demonstrated that progressive politics drive his actions more than his religious identification does, as is also evidenced by his support for abortion. This should disturb even people who agree with Biden’s support for same-sex marriage and abortion.

Here on the Corner, I’d like to say something about Before the Fall. That’s Safire’s memoir of the first Nixon administration. (In the old days, we referred to each term as an “administration.” So, 1985-89 would be “the second Reagan administration.”)

Donny McKinley · Studying at Student"There was a time in my life when I read gobs and gobs of White House memoirs. This was when I was about 20, I think."
I was wondering what was wrong with this author when I saw his "impromptus" article, which is completely nonsensical and reads like a drug induced ramble.
I think I understand now. At 20, the rest of us had girls.

Dr Krauthammer wheels out "sage advice" for the beleaguered candidate
But I thought yesterday the speech he did outside Milwaukee on law and order was probably the best speech he’s had yet. Delivery is improving on when he is reading, and he restrained himself. And I think it wasn’t as if he was going to win the African-American vote, but what I think he needs to do — and that would go a long way to help — is to try to reassure the suburbanites, the soccer moms, that he is not a racist. That the things he has done in the past are far more benign, that his heart is in the right place. If he can do that — that was addressed not at the inner city, it was addressed at the suburbs — and if he can reassure traditional Republicans who could go for him in the general election, that he is okay, he is not toxic — that would be a big difference.
Uh, OK. Trump needs to convince an all-white audience that's he's not racist, THEN he'll win.
