Actually, the writer sort of gets it—but there is an undercurrent of fear, not of Trump, but of the writer’s media peers and bosses.
He is like a writer in Stalinist Russia suggesting that perhaps not all of Stalin’s opponents are certifiably insane.
Then he looks out the window to make sure the KGB hasn’t read the first draft and is on the way to execute him.
Just to be safe he types up a second draft he can hand the soldiers and say: “See, I didn’t really mean it. Forgive me, please!”
Reagan was great but he didn’t change the direction of the country.

Reagan’s focus was the enemy without, and he beat them.
The overwhelming problem in 2016 is the enemy within.
The author more or less gets it. He’ll be ignored.
Trump is currently leading or tied in the polls, He is doing that in spite of spending little money on advertising.
Perhaps part of Trump’s success is BECAUSE of an antagonistic media that has gone so far overboard in it’s anti-Trump bias that it has, in effect, pushed through to the other side. Perhaps the antagonism is viewed as a positive by a big enough plurality that it’s actually scoring him votes that he wouldn’t otherwise get.
That’s a good point. The connection between Obama’s early betrayal of Eastern Europe and Russia’s later aggression is never made, but it should be.
“There are real questions being raised about whether Donald Trump himself is just a puppet for the Kremlin in this race.” .............
Desperate people make desperate statements. Yes, they are that desperate (not to mention stupid)
