The adults patrolling the playpen of Republican politics are appalled that we’ve become a society where it’s O.K. to make fun of veterans, to call anyone who isn’t rich a loser, to cast an entire group of newly arrived strivers as rapists and shiftless criminals.
Somewhere, we crossed a line — from our mothers’ modesty to strutting braggadocio, from dutiful decorum to smashing all the china in the room, from respecting a base set of facts to a trumpeting of willful ignorance.
Yes, how did we get to a point where up to one-fourth of the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan now aligns itself with Donald Trump? Those same political marshals would have us believe he’s a “demagogue,” a “jackass,” a “cancer.”
They say he’s trashing the Republic brand. They say he’s “stirring up the crazies,” in the words of Senator John McCain. But Trump is the brand, to a sizable degree. And the crazies have long flourished in the Republican media wing, where any amount of gaseous buffoonery goes unchallenged.

If he winds up on the ballot, I will not hesitate.
YAWN
But Hillary is good for the Democrat Party brand? Come on? Alinsky socialism was never the end game for the donkeys.
Stopped RIGHT THERE. No need to read further.
How did we get to a point where 75% of the Democrat party now aligns itself with Marx, Alinsky, Lewinsky, Joanne Chesimard and Mumia Abu Jamal?
Hate check.
>>strivers
Really? Striving to steal our tax dollars? Jobs? Striving to drive drunk?
Real strivers strive to make their own country great instead of looting another.
I don’t think so, Tim..............................
Yeah, Kate Steinle’s murderer is now a “newly-arrived striver”. Egan has no shame, and won’t ever change his tune unless his life or that of a family member or close friend is shattered by such a “striver”.
WELCOME TO FR.................................
Aww, Mr. Egan, got your drawers in a wad because Trump isn’t afraid to expose the corrupt media in this country for what it is? You poor ‘lil thing.......NOT!
LOL! What greedy idiocy they foist!
But the GOP DID create Trump- by always doing what the ‘progressives’ want: growing government debt, and spending, and killing US jobs and culture.
Which is what the NYTimes wants more of.
BS Slimes.
Trump is Dorian Gray built upon all the GOP ugliness. The uglier Republicans get, the more attractive Trump becomes.
The implication is that it ends poorly for both Trump and the ugly portrait.

a striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family.
Lol times as usual total BS.

EXACTLY. I could not read past that line. That the NYT would consider third-world parasitic law breakers ‘newly arrived strivers’ says a lot about how demented leftists are. I hope that some of these ‘strivers’ start striving in THEIR neighborhoods and raping their loved ones.

With a lie of unlimited proportions as the first sentence, how can I even read further?
Trump did not say or do any of those things. Nice try.
And believe me, the “adults” (GOPe who are scared of and obey all Dems so they won’t be called names) in charge of the GOP are the ones who would agree with the lib author’s prevaricating first line.
And the people who vote R do not like those “adults.”
They know now that “Dreamer and “yearning to be free” are total BS now. They strive (hey! imagine that) to define new words that imply hard work, determination, lawful living, and paying taxes and doing their fair share. It’s all just BS.
