Worse than Katrina. I was afraid that something like this would really expose why Trump shouldn’t be President.

You really think his followers actually care about this? They are busy telling us we are getting fake news from MSM and we really need to read other sources. I have always been critical of MSM: they are often wrong and biased (think Judith Miller) and definitely misogynistic (their appalling treatment of Hillary); but they tend to be better than anything else out there. The best will admit mistakes, publish corrections, rethink their positions. Unfortunately the parallel RW publications make no such effort; they all would do Goebbels proud. And that’s were the Trumpsters get all their information. The only time they may (and that’s not a guarantee) change their mind is if something happens to someone they care about; occasionally then they may rethink their position.

I was surprised by Eric Erickson’s column today; it was very thoughtful and moving. Perhaps he is someone who could change his mind. nytimes.com

Certainly Jennifer Rubin(to a great extent) and William Kristol(to a lesser extent) are fighting the good fight.
