How much does George F. Will hate Donald J. Trump?
"Politics … requires an emotional equipoise, a blend of relaxation and concentration, stamina leavened by cheerfulness. [Sen. Amy] Klobuchar laughs easily and often. If the nation wants an angry president, it can pick from the many seething Democratic aspirants, or it can keep the president it has. If, however, it would like someone to lead a fatigued nation in a long exhale, it can pick a Minnesotan, at last."
I thought Trump would read a book, or Sen. Inhofe would make some sense, or Rep. Gohmert would show a bit of graciousness before the most spectacularly improbable — George Will's virtual endorsement of a (moderately) liberal Democrat — would ever take place. But fear, loathing and deep hatred can be inspirational things.
