q*z 发帖数: 715 | 2 Republicans on both sides of the Trump Divide are waiting for things that
will never happen.
The party establishment — including donors who should be writing big checks
by now, experienced operatives who should be competing for top spots on the
campaign, and Republican leaders who should be hammering out state-by-state
victory plans — is waiting for Donald Trump to stop acting like Donald
Trump.
It’s abundantly clear, however, that a move toward statesmanship will never
materialize. The latest example: Mr. Trump’s salesman in chief performance
in Scotland, hours after the Brexit vote. “You know, when the pound goes
down, more people are coming to Turnberry,” he said, seeing a silver lining
for the golf course he owns there.
Just a few weeks from the national convention, Republicans are stuck in
these awkward standoffs that have come to embody everything that is
uncomfortable and disorienting about this election: Our voters, in decisive
numbers, picked a guy who embarrasses us. |
