In the first of this week’s COMMENTARY podcasts, the point is raised: The likeliest explanation is that Jared Kushner and others are inexperienced and incompetent rather than malign—so why do they act like they’re guilty? Why does Donald Trump pick fights with Germany and others and thus cast a shadow on a foreign trip that did him some good in the polling? And why aren’t Democrats angrier with Hillary Clinton? Give a listen as Abe Greenwald, Noah Rothman, and John Podhoretz wonder at the strangeness.

    I am truly convinced that you don’t understand the danger of the left  to this country.  You think they are much nicer than I do . I would rather you be right.  But look how they painted Mitt Romney.

    Also, if the GOP would get their act together they could pass some legislation.  If we fail in the midterms, it will not be all Trump’s fault.

    One thing is certain. Jared has no place in government and should stick to real estate in New Jersey.

    Podhoretz takes Trump derangement syndrome to a whole new level.

    It’s folly to think that only Trump’s scalp will appease when it comes to impeachment as if a group that lives to play politics will all of a sudden become highminded on their effect on future lawmakers.

    What a spiteful duo.  Their hate and disdain in that the American people elected Trump and not their choice drips off their every word.  I don’t like Trump and understand why others don’t but get a grip guys.

    Clinton: “Classic Dumb ‘A’ Student”

    Best description I’ve heard of her.

    No, he doesn’t. He’s several steps behind McMullin, Kristol, Schindler.

    It was Churchill who said that the Germans were either at your throat or at your feet.

    Yes. Earlier campaigns from her had a Tracy Flick from Election feel.
