Donald Trump has achieved two things besides locking up the Republican presidential nomination. The first is widely acknowledged: He now has a real chance of beating Hillary Clinton. Sean Trende, the best of the big-picture political writers, puts the possibility Trump will win the presidency at 30 percent. That sounds about right, for the moment anyway.
The second achievement is the effect Trumps rise has had on the political environment. It's helped Republicans.

The news is looking better in Senate races. If Trump wins and Republicans hold both houses of Congress, America will have a second chance.

Wow, weekly standard. Bill must have been off French kissing.

“Wow, weekly standard. Bill must have been off French kissing.”
Bwahahahaha. That is a good one and probably true.
Hmm, I guess the people DO know best. Idiots!
“The news is looking better in Senate races.”
The republicans don’t deserve the Senate.
The only problem is, neither do the dems.
Is Fred Barnes distancing himself from Bill Kristol’s disastrous plan?
That is a fact.
So, Fred Barnes is the “good cop” at Weakly Standard?
Why should it?

A second chance includes the chance to stop Moloch.
Gotta have the Senate or the Supreme Court is screwed and America is over, very simple.
Wow, weekly standard.
“Gotta have the Senate or the Supreme Court is screwed and America is over, very simple.”
Seems I’ve heard this story before.
