I'm sorry Mr. Brooks, but you don't get to travel, in the space of 5 or 6 columns, from hair-on-fire warnings as to how the Republican Party simply must stop Trump, to gushing about what a wonderful and exciting time it is to be a Republican as a result of the fact that, er, Trump is taking a jackhammer to your party. (Or maybe this column is just one long, winking joke and I'm simply too dumb to get it.) I want to read the column where you debunk the notion that the GOP is a helpless victim of the catastrophe it's bringing upon itself and maybe the nation, and clearly explain that Republicans visited this disaster upon themselves through their cynical, deceitful, slick and centrally-planned, decades-long strategy of directly appealing to the basest instincts in our national character in order to round up enough votes to place their retrograde policies at the center of the country's agenda. You could start with an honest acknowledgment of your own efforts in this regard. Denial is not a river in Egypt.



I wish the NYT had the guts to hire someone, like your OP example, not afraid to call out the Republican establishment's shameful facilitation of the barbarians from the bottom of their barrel rise to the top.
