Donald Trump Is Crack for Democrats – WSJ

Not that I think a single voter is influenced at this point by talk of Kremlin interference. The ho-hum reality on display simply reflects the pressure inside the bureaucracy, especially at the FBI and Justice Department, to be seen contributing to the anti-Trump effort.

And yet it all seems so pro forma now. Kamala Harris s 100-day bubble of joy deflated on Day 87. She s given up trying to win converts. She calls Mr. Trump a fascist. If that s what she thought, why did she spend all those weeks talking about abortion?

Close elections are a bane to democracy, inviting every kind of recklessness to impart a last-minute tilt. But close elections are also the broadest possible signal that voters those antic Americans with their differing views are still in control.

Ms. Harris s very existence as a candidate illustrates a second truth: Democrats don t see Mr. Trump as Hitler. They see him as a godsend. They can t get enough of him.

He s such an easy mark, in 2016 they didn t even bother with his real demerits but just fabricated evidence that he was a Russian agent.

Anything is possible with Mr. Trump as an opponent a senile candidate, a nonentity candidate, open borders, mass forgiveness of college loans, taxpayer-funded sex-change operations.
