ALL THE DEMOCRATS HAD TO DO WAS NOT BE CRAZY, AND THEY COULDN’T EVEN MANAGE THAT: Democratic presidential candidates are scaring off Never Trumpers. “Instead of creeping or trotting liberalism, the Democratic candidates for president are virtually all running on galloping liberalism bent on fundamentally and permanently changing the basic structure of the American system of democratic capitalism. That raises the stakes on ousting Trump tremendously.”

Better to play it safe, and keep Trump, the cautious center-right incumbent.
