• Knock knock. Who’s there? Ayatollah. Ayatollah who? Ayatollah you I’m not gonna abide by any nuclear agreement.
• The vacuum pump was invented in 1656. Donald Trump, born in 1946, is a pump that sucks the air out of political discourse. Latest instance: After John McCain called Trump’s Arizona supporters “crazies,” Trump said McCain was no war hero. Trump: “He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.” Whereupon broke loose all hell. To clear this up: John McCain is a war hero, and he is wrong about immigration. Many conservatives — those McCain called “crazies” — think Trump is right because he attacks criminal Mexican illegals as bumptiously as he attacked McCain. But since Trump has never held office, and since he has a record of contradictory pronouncements, there is no telling what he would actually do on this, or any other, issue. Trump will not be the GOP nominee or president (though he may run on his own third-party ticket). Conservatives must start casting real votes in seven months. Time to start listening and thinking, about real candidates and real views.
