Beyond that, anti-Trump Republicans treat his voters like immoral enablers of a malignant boob. Should Mr. Trump lose decisively in November they’ll lord it over everyone, say “I told you so,” and accept what they imagine will be forelock-tugging apologies. Then they will get to work burying not only Mr. Trump but his issues.
That’s where the future of the GOP will be fought, and found: on whether Trumpism can be defeated along with Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump would care about that if he cared about that.
I end with a new word, at least new to me. A friend called it to my attention. It speaks of the moment we’re in. It is “kakistocracy,” from the Greek. It means government by the worst persons, by the least qualified or most unprincipled. We’re on our way there, aren’t we? We’re going to have to make our way through it together.

It's a long dredge of Peggy Noonan's anti-Trump article, because she doesn't think Trump has the presidential temperament. I just want to highlight what she thought about the last 8 years.
Peggy Noonan’s opinion? Cboldt would care about that if he cared about that.
No, Peg, we’re already there.
What we’re hoping for now is to recover.
It’s “The Great Gaslighting.”
“Everybody knows Trump is crazy.”
Gaslighting.
Dear Peggy,
IF Trump loses because of RINO’s the party(Republican) is dead. Republicans will lose at every level for the foreseeable future.
That is a FACT.

Peggy don’t care. She’s only being objective./s
I loved her work about 20 years ago. She has become the GOPe.
Dump down a pitcher of Manhattans and go away, Peggy.
Imagine that....I have been using the term kakistocracy for about seven years now here on FR.
OBAMA is the kakistocracy, Pegs....not DJT.
The two tools of the left:
1. Ad-hominem attacks
2. Projection.
Both are on display in PN’s article.
Perfect.
You have good memories.
she wrote a few good speeches for Reagan, other than that, she’s been riding the coat tails of RR for a very very long time.
She has disgusted me for a decade or more.
I’m not paying good money to read her drivel.
(Two thumbs up)
Funny how so many “conservative” writers who have the vapors when thinking of Trump as the Republican nominee, have never used as strong a language to describe Obama’s nor Hillary’s many more outrageous and dangerous actions.
They have bought their tickets to irrelevancy and don’t know it.
Peggy Noonan is as over-the-hill as Hillary.
And about as accomplished.
Sorry, I thought the link was directly linked to WSJ page.
The GOP needs to turn out the lights. I’m never going back and most of my friends and family feel the same way. We need a new party in this country.
This is a GOPe talking point.
Trump is being questioned because he did not hire the correct consultants class.
It also heads off the fact heil Hillary’s health is a serious issue.
