AN EDITED VERSION OF THIS POST IS SCHEDULED TO APPEAR IN THE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IN THE RECORD, THE BERGEN COUNTY NEWSPAPER
He began as if he were sedated, speaking almost without
modulation. As the evening proceeded, he pounced, time and again,
unleashing the fury of a caged animal sensing it was kill or be killed.
He hovered over his prey as she spoke. He moved impatiently here and there
while he waited to be heard, interrupting time and again to assure that
there was no cadence or rhythm to the message of his foe.
He attacked the moderators, he threatened to jail his adversary as
soon as he was crowned emperor. And his opponent, even as we all smelled
blood, never went for the jugular.
Donald Trump survived last night, despite the many who gave him up
for dead. He blamed everyone but himself for the litany of his
transgressions, but mainly Bill and Hillary Clinton. They, not he, were
the despicable ones, they were the deplorables. In a world turned on its
head, Ms. Clinton's lifetime of pursuing causes to benefit others was
the problem, not Mr. Trump's incredibly self centered and destructive
seven decade journey.
It sickens me to think that Donald Trump remains politically alive,
prepared to spend another day in the spotlight, regaling us with his
lies and his particularly odious brand of hatred. But he does.
