Salon today...looking mostly at the titles, they've turned their hysteria toward Trump

Didn't read these because of the anti-Hillary abuse Salon has perpetuated: About 10 anti-Trump pieces, a couple of Hillary posts that are not titled as hit pieces and one anti-Wasserman Schultz that was written by Ben Norton.

But did read this one: “The clan leader of white Americans”: Conservative David Frum perfectly explains how the disintegration of the GOP has created Trump by Heather Digby Parton

"The more valiant among them take the threat of Trump seriously and are willing to admit the truth, such as Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal who told Fareed Zakaria over the weekend:

I most certainly will not vote for Donald Trump. I will vote for the least left wing opponent to Donald Trump and I will want to make a vote that will make sure he is the biggest loser in presidential history since Alf Landon or going back further. It’s important that Donald Trump and what he represents, this “ethnic conservatism or populism” be so decisively rebuked that the Republican party and Republican voters will forever learn their lesson that they cannot nominate a man so manifestly unqualified to be president in any way shape or form."

and ignoring sanders pretty much altogether except perhaps the divisiveness he is still encouraging...and turning the focus on trump

and trumps attacks on media and journalist...while its red meat to the typical trump supporter...wins him no points with 10-15% of the middle who actually are the voters who votes count...

so we have perhaps the worse candidate in history in Trump to focus on for 5 months...and he can't take ANY scrutiny.....or challenge with out flipping out

gonna be a fun time and I still think he will not step on stage with hillary....in any debate environment. He doesn't have the guts

It doesn't matter how much they attack Trump. They crossed a line with their insane hatred of Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic Party, and they can't uncross it at this point.
