This was my main beef with this piece: it almost studiously ignores the role of voters. When Trump wins primary after primary, he’s not going to be just a “Fox-watching golfer,” no matter what McCarthy, Graham et al do. https://t.co/ZXoStZ919u

I bought a used Infiniti entry-level sedan in 2012. It’s been great. But when it was about 10 years old the dashboard started to liquify–if you touch it, your hand sticks to it! Um, @INFINITIUSA: If I wanted a luxury product that melted I’d buy Haagen-Dazs.
