GENE WEINGARTEN -
Donald Trump is a boor, and cannot stop being a boor.

I think Trump wants to be dictator. I don’t think the courts will allow him to be, and I think that after months of revolting sycophancy, neither will Congress. He will sink to such a popularity trough that even those spineless, craven gophers will cave.
GENE WEINGARTEN -
I believe the publisher is a member of the editorial board, and I think his vote would matter.

Hillary Clinton rubs people the wrong way, for valid reasons.
