I predicted Donald Trump would surely implode long before now, but he is now the presumptive nominee. Kudos to him on that accomplishment!
But, why are my many Republican friends bouncing between despair and embarrassment? My many Democratic friends seem to be bouncing between glee and rapture.
I would caution my Democratic friends not to be so optimistic. I dismissed Trump when he badly trashed the former nominee and 5-year POW John McCain. That was a bright red line for me! I thought the good Republican voters would feel the same way, about trashing a genuine American hero. I was wrong! Promising everything to everybody is always a winning strategy.
Apparently, it is okay to trash anybody . . . except Trump.
