But yes, 0bama and his administration have set a new low bar for behavior in office, which given the past several Democrat administrations is saying something. There seems little doubt that Hillary Clinton, an integral part of the last two, has openly and shamelessly behaved quite literally in a criminal manner regarding bribery and espionage. 0bama has, as VDH cites, enforced and ignored laws in an arbitrary and partisan manner. Eric Holder has proudly made racism one of the perquisites of office. You couldn't lower the bar much more than that.
But VDH is very mistaken that the media intend to apply that lamentable lack of standards to any Republican, far less Donald Trump. Those standards will snap back to the stratospheric the second a Republican takes office, which is precisely the mirror image of VDH's complaint. A fair person could not possibly hold Trump to standards higher than 0bama. VDH is very naive to hope that the media won't.
My comment to an esteemed commenter, VonMisesJr. on the article as posted at PJ Media.
Apparently, to the TDS afflicted Dr. Hanson, none of the points you raised are as important as using this poor excuse of an article to characterize Donald Trump as just slightly less an a**hole than is the current occupant of the White House.
Perhaps in a future column, the good doctor will enlighten us to any other candidate running for election that will even ATTEMPT to address the issues of illegal immigration run amok in the nation overall but has been felt most acutely in California, where I also live.
This is the most disappointing VDH article I’ve ever read.
