Donald Trump Is Crazy, and So Is the GOP for Embracing Him

The Republican nominee opens his mouth and removes all doubt.

There are two explanations. Either Trump believes Rafael Cruz was involved or he's making the implied accusation in a continued attempt to discredit Cruz's son. In either case, this isn't the behavior of a rational, stable individual. It should embarrass those who have endorsed him and disgrace those who have attempted to normalize him.

The degree of this normalization is stunning. The Republican nominee for president made comments Friday that one might expect from a patient in a mental institution, the kind of stuff you might read on blog with really small print and pictures of UFOs. And yet his remarks barely register as news. There are no condemnations from fellow Republicans. His supporters shrug them off as Trump being Trump.

If Eric and Junior and Ivanka can't get Daddy under control, they need to go public. That is, if they do love America.

The problem with excerpting from The Weekly Standard (same with Washington Post and New York Times) is that, if you visit frequently, you get hit with a paywall after a certain number of visits.

I refuse to pay $38 for the magazine just so I can go visit their site.

Firefox private browsing (open link in private window) is working around that for me.

Trump reiterated his plans for revenge against Kasich and Cruz and an unnamed third person-probably Rubio-on Meet the Press today. Haven't heard a thing from the Vichy-GOP about this.

TomSea...........that picture is offensive in the extreme.
