Another weekend, another tRump rally, another head scratching take on a subset of my fellow Americans. How can any thinking, feeling human being sit through a session of the word salad that makes up most of tRump's stump speech and not come away feeling mentally and emotionally dirty?
He spews lies and hate the way most of us breathe. He encourages his cultish followers to wallow in the intolerance he personifies. He compares migrants to ''animals'' who are "poisoning the blood of America". He wants to round up tens of millions of people in the country illegally and intern them in giant camps while they await deportation to countries many have not seen since they were toddlers. He gets rapturous applause for this hateful rhetoric. What are the rest of us to make of this spectacle?
He threatens a "bloodbath'' if he is not elected in November and then promises to be dictator for a day upon assuming the presidency. Meanwhile his many legal teams attempt to delay or derail the criminal trials he faces. Yet, his followers remain doggedly faithful. Is it the man or the message?
