Followers of this blog will know that I am no supporter of Donald Trump (nor for that matter of any of the other leading presidential candidates in either party), but Tucker Carlson's piece today in Politico is worth reading. Donald Trump is Shocking, Vulgar and Right: And my dear fellow Republicans, he's all your fault, makes the point, persuasively, (a) that the failings of the Republican Washington establishment itself are largely to blame for the rise of Donald Trump, and (b) that looked at in the cold light of day, without the blinders and hysteria of political correctness, many of Trump's proposals are hardly the fascist ideas that the media (mostly liberal) has been labeling them.
It's worth reading this piece.
