During the first presidential debate Tuesday night, America got an unvarnished look at our Toddler-in-Chief.
Those who still believe that this man-child deserves or is fit to be president of the United States have set the bar for office so low that a houseplant could easily qualify.
In Donald Trump and the Republican party, we face a threat as great as the pandemic, climate change, or an armed attack, i.e., the loss of our highest values and destruction from within of democracy itself.
Such small-minded, grievance-filled, power-hungry, shameless zealots think nothing of driving this nation over the edge.

…if we don’t learn from history, with are condemned to repeat it. Global pandemic, deep economic depression, the rise of fascism (in Europe); those spanned the first four decades of the twentieth century. The Republicans and their leader have somehow managed to compress it into four years?

Is there one person of moral stature and conviction in the current Republican party that will go down in history as worthy of respect and honor?
I can’t think of anyone.

The only one I can think of is Ohio Governor DeWine. Not perfect, but he has been pretty steadfast in trying to get the state through this pandemic considering the Republican confusion, incompetence, and negligence of responsibility at federal level and in his own Republican legislature, one member of which tried to start impeachment hearings against him. I respect him even though there are lots of things to disagree with.
We need two parties but…I could go on, but this is your blog, Alan, not mine. :-)
I hope you are well…

Thanks Mic.
Charlie Baker, the governor of Massachusetts, is another Republican who doesn’t drink the party Kool-Aid.
I was thinking more of people like John Lewis, though, whose life inspired others to fight for social and economic justice.
I reserve other political comments for the Washington Post and New York Times :)

John Lewis sets the bar pretty high…
