As the late Sen. John McCain’s departing call to national unity reverberated across America last week, Donald Trump’s prediction of violence should Democrats prevail in November’s midterm elections seemed both discordant and, well, weird.
The president issued his dire warning on Monday — two days after McCain’s death — to a gathering of evangelical pastors at the White House. Trump warned that if they didn’t rally their parishioners to turn out and vote Republican, Democrats “will overturn everything that we’ve done, and they’ll do it quickly and violently.”
What sort of apocalyptic vision guides our commander in chief? What level of paranoia inspires such hyperbolic projections?
These questions are tendered as rhetorical exercise. We know what petty perdition this president has created for himself. Sadly for the country, it needn’t have been this way. Given the antipathy toward Hillary Clinton, Trump might have won the election without appealing to raw emotion and base fears. Later, he might have changed his tune as president and tried to appeal to a broader cross-section of Americans. Who knows? As McCain said, in this country nothing is inevitable. Trump might have united the nation in common cause.
Instead, he chose the ugly path....

More verbal vomit from the left.
Best part of the article: “the late Sen. John McCain”
Isn’t she still claiming to be a conservative, even after backing Mr. Obama twice?
More worthless compost from Bezos, not even good for the garden.
Now I discover that I'm "irresponsible". I think that the Compost has lost something on its fastball.Either that or they've misplaced their Thesaurus.
Almost every time the first sentence or paragraphs way? contains such hallucinatory distortions and lies about politics —or outright enemy propaganda?— it turns out to be from the Washington post. What is it with that miserable rag, anyway? I mean, they’re really far, far beyond the pale of sanity ( having left credibility behind years ago).
Isn’t this the ditz who worked with Client #9?
Sadly this is not one of them.
I hope Never Trumpers are absolutely terrified of the Adorable Deplorables who will be voting in droves this November!
We must be diluted.
...As the late Sen. John McCain’s departing call to national unity reverberated across America last week...
The week long orgy of McCain orchestrated Trump hatred is over. He will soon be consigned to history’s dustbin.
Jeff Bezos of Amazon bought it and subcontracts it to the Central Intelligence Agency. I know that sounds like David Icke or Alex Jones but every word of it is true.
The first “funeral disinvites” I’ve ever heard of really screamed “national unity” to me.
Amazon is a pretty well- run mail order outfit, so I imagine bezos is partially responsible for that. But this Washington post insanity is, well, completely over the shark ( as in: jumped). Nuts. I’ve now stopped reading anything with the Washington post byline
I’m a proud irresponsible deplorable.
Gosh - first sentence right out of the starting gate is so wrong. What funeral was she watching? Certainly not the one we were all subjected to - if we gave our permission, that is! That man spoke the words loud and often but what did he do to see to it that he wasn’t adding to the discord? NOTHING!

“Irresponsible?” That’s all you got? We’ve been called worse.
Especially his own running mate from 10 years ago.
