1. I love the writing in this piece!

The fact that the failure came in the House simply illustrated that there is no philosophical core to the Republican Party other than Barack Obama was born in Kenya and Hillary Clinton lied about Benghazi. That’s it, folks. Anything more complicated than that triggers an internecine holy war.

Trump would quickly and ruefully learn that his bullying threats of retribution were met with cold and unimpressed disdain of a Prom Queen approached for a dance by a nerdy sophomore

Perhaps T.S. Eliot’s assessment in a different Wasteland – “April is the cruelest month” – may prove prescient, as the downward spiral accelerates.

But for now, Donald Trump is impaled on his fork in the road, and it must hurt like crazy.
