Headline O’ the Day

As do most Americans, I’m sure.
Unfortunately, while Republicans may be embarrassed by their presidential campaign Trump still gains in popularity:
Alarmed by the harsh attacks and negative tone of their presidential contest, broad majorities of Republican primary voters view their party as divided and a source of embarrassment and think that the campaign is more negative than in the past, according to a New York Times/CBS News national poll released on Monday.
The dismay has not set back their leading candidate, however. While about four in 10 Republican voters disapprove of how Donald J. Trump has handled the violence at some of his rallies, Mr. Trump has also picked up the most support recently as several rivals have left the race. Forty-six percent of primary voters said they would like to see Mr. Trump as the party’s nominee, more than at any point since he declared his candidacy in June. Twenty-six percent favored Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, and 20 percent backed Gov. John Kasich of Ohio. Fully three-quarters of Republican primary voters expect Mr. Trump to be their party’s nominee.
That last pretty much tears it. It’s him. The question is whether these people willdecide that it’s ok to vote for an unqualified, fascist, megalomaniac Bond villain for president rather than see a Democrat win.
How many of them will put the country first?
