On Twitter, people like me regularly get called “sore losers” by Trumpeters. It just makes me roll my eyes. This is not about winning and losing. We all lost, even them, they just don’t know it yet.

Donald Trump is way worse than George W. Bush. George W. Bush is a fundamentally decent man of limited intelligence who surrounded himself with awful people who dragged him in terrible directions. He was a bad president.

I don’t consider Hillary Clinton to be the lesser of two evils.

Donald Trump’s humor is hostile to a fault.

I believe that sensitivity to issues of race and ethnicity is important, and nuanced, even more so when it intersects with the issue of free speech.

I believe the publisher is a member of the editorial board, and I think his vote would matter.

It is hard to quantify the value of name recognition, but Donald Trump has gone from fame to international mega-fame. That has to be gargantuan when your business is your name.

International politics is not my strong suit. The older I get the less certain I am that I even HAVE a strong suit.

I think Trump is simply inept, incapable of rescuing himself.

Incapable Thinking Trump
Many put him in the second tier, below the big three and surrounded by Truman and Eisenhower. Kennedy moved our soul. Changed our thinking about service and governance. And won big in the greatest nuclear crisis of the Cold War.

Change Greatest Many Won
You know, I am not a particular Kennedy apologist or an awed fan – I was 12 when he was murdered – but I have discussed Kennedy with historians. For his incredibly short tenure, he was a very important president.

Soul Thinking War
You should support Israel not because it is Jewish but because it is a sane, secular democracy. You want Lebanon to be at peace. You don’t care much about Kuwait.

Care Democracy Support
Being “Jewish” is way stronger culturally than it is religiously.

Religiously Stronger Way
My preference would have been a school that was totally diverse – half and half, or close. I wouldn’t have hesitated at all if they would have been in the racial minority. But to be the only white kids: I don’t think that would have been fair to them.
GENE WEINGARTEN

Kids Minority School
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

Dictator Popularity Thinking
I very much believe in the Intentional Fallacy. If Donald Trump lies and dopes and bumbles and staggers his way into peace in the middle east, he gets credit for it. He owns it.
