Quote of the Day

"He's completely unqualified to be president and would be a menace if he were to get there. I do wish more prominent Republicans would step forward and say that."—Dr. Eliot Cohen, State Department counselor during George W. Bush's second term (and organizer of the open letter from a number of Republican national security leaders denouncing Donald Trump) on Trump's unfathomably reckless comments today.

I also wish more prominent Republicans would step forward and speak as bluntly as Dr. Cohen. In fact:

Is there any point at which former CIA director and president George H.W. Bush will just come out & endorse Hillary for good of the nation?

I'm not being facetious. At some point, a prominent Republican needs to lead the way in unifying behind her in wholesale rejection of Trump.

And his entire movement. At this point, even forcing him out and installing a "moderate" GOP replacement isn't good enough.

The GOP can't put a bandage on this mess. A full-throated repudiation of everything that has happened in this election is necessary.

Trump is not a joke. This is grim.
