Your two paragraphs under "A Cautionary Word" are almost word-for-word what I just wrote this afternoon to a lifelong friend who lives in Tucson near the Mexico border and coudn't be a stronger Trump fan.

I wrote of the need for caution--Trump can destroy in one ill-placed word or gesture tonight all the goodwill the past 3 days created.

Her rejoinder was that no one will care--his supporters adore him.

"THAT'S JUST THE POINT," I replied. "We've got to draw in the still undecided middle 20%."

The conversation continued. The rest was "A Cautionary Word" without my having seen it.

Am I living in your head?? Which one of us posted it first? LOL! Almost word-for word. :-)

Rittenhouse should not have been there in the first place. He doesn't live there, and he was breaking the law, a minor illegally carrying a firearm. The real question I have is where were his parents in all this, and why and how did they give him access to an AR-15?
