Nowhere is that opposition hotter and more strident than from fellow Republicans, who excoriated Mr. Trump early in the primary campaign when he initially balked at agreeing to support the eventual nominee.
But today, it is Mitt Romney, John McCain and the entire Bush family who have abandoned the eventual nominee. Just about every Republican nominee for the past 30 years — men whom Republicans supported despite all manner of reservations — refuse to return that decency by supporting Mr. Trump.
Each one of them has truly revealed himself.
And now the media are shocked to hear all this talk about a “rigged” election. But, of course, it is rigged.
The media overwhelmingly support Mrs. Clinton and the Democrats financially and in terms of campaign coverage.
They cover the contested accusations against Mr. Trump endlessly while almost completely ignoring the raft of incontrovertible scandals revealed by the WikiLeaks document dump.
Mrs. Clinton’s campaign is as dirty and dastardly as the most sinister politician Hollywood could ever come up with.
They pay dirty money to homeless people to incite violence at Trump rallies. Does it get any more slimy and cynical than that?
The Democratic primary race was clearly rigged, with the Democratic National Committee brazenly conspiring to defeat Bernie Sanders and hand Mrs. Clinton the nomination.
Mrs. Clinton’s own top campaign officials — according to the purloined emails — believe Mrs. Clinton is a liar.
And when speaking freely, Mrs. Clinton acknowledges that “they can’t possibly vet all those refugees” from Syria that she openly wants to let into the country she is supposed to care about protecting.
She is also all in favor of obliterating America’s borders.
“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, sometime in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere,” Mrs. Clinton said in a speech to an Italian bank that paid her $225,000.
Add to all of this her reckless and near-criminal disregard for our nation’s secrets and you have an anti-American, globalist liar who is more dangerous than the worst spies who spilled U.S. secrets to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Now comes evidence that a high-ranking official in her State Department tried to barter a “quid pro quo” with FBI agents, asking them to alter evidence in a criminal investigation against Mrs. Clinton.
Damn straight that is more serious than a two-bit break-in at the Watergate.
