Springtime for retreads

The Republicans’ Sin of Endorsement - Gail Collins, The New York Times

"They thought Trump would be such an unpopular nominee that the party would face a historic disaster in November. Obviously, the way to improve chances was to support the most actively disliked Republican politician in America.” 

Not to mention backing him up with endorsements from a batch of guys who’ve already lostJeb without the !, Lindsey Graham, Carly Fiorina, Mittens, of course (sure, The Donald has his share of retreads to—Christie, Carson, Palin, et.al.—but still). 

I’m getting nostalgic for John McCain who, by the way, writes an excellent and even moving eulogy for an old Communist in this morning’s Times, although you may need to be a geezer like me who also appreciates Robert Jordan and John Donne to get it.
