Too Little and Too Late, NYT Comes out against Trump
Mr. Trump has shown a character unworthy of the responsibilities of the presidency. He has demonstrated an utter lack of respect for the Constitution, the rule of law and the American people. Instead of a cogent vision for the country’s future, Mr. Trump is animated by a thirst for political power: to use the levers of government to advance his interests, satisfy his impulses and exact retribution against those who he thinks have wronged him.
He is, quite simply, unfit to lead.
– Excerpt from a too-little and too-late New York Times editorial assessing Trump’s unfitness to lead, after nearly two weeks of faulty and sometimes fabricated news coverage of the aftermath of the June 27 presidential debate.
Pelosi: ‘I Don’t Know What’s Happened to the New York Times That They Make up News’
“I never said he should reconsider his decision. The decision is the president’s. I don’t know what’s happened to The New York Times that they make up news. It isn’t true. I think the President is great. And there are some misrepresentations of what I have said.”
– House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi reacting to a Times story about her comments on Pres. Biden published under the misleading headline, “Pelosi Suggests That Biden Could Reconsider Decision to Stay in the Race.”

The Atlantic: The Absurdity of the Dump-Biden Uprising Stuart Stevens: 'What is it about the Democratic Party that engenders this kind of self-doubt and fear? '
Stuart Stevens in The Atlantic: Millions vote for a candidate, propelling him to victory. Before the voters’ decision is formally certified, people who don’t like the outcome demand that the election results be thrown out and a different candidate selected in a closed process. That was America on January 6, 2021. And now, some in the Democratic Party want to follow a similar script…
I worked in five presidential campaigns for Republicans and helped elect Republican senators and governors in more than half of the country. For decades, I made ads attacking the Democratic Party. But in all those years, I never saw anything as ridiculous as the push, in the aftermath of last week’s debate, to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. For many in the party, the event raised genuine concerns about the incumbent’s fitness for a new term. But a president’s record makes a better basis for judgment than a 90-minute broadcast does. Biden has a capable vice president, should he truly become unable to serve. The standard for passing over Democratic voters’ preferred nominee should be extraordinarily high—and has not been met.
The fundamental danger of Donald Trump is that he’s an autocrat who refuses to accept the will of the voters. So the proper response is to throw out millions of votes, dump the overwhelming choice, and replace him with someone selected by a handful of insiders? What will the message be: “Our usurper is better than your usurper”?
What is it about the Democratic Party that engenders this kind of self-doubt and fear?
