Of course Haley should keep running. Her chances are poor, but Biden’s are not looking just great right now either. Regardless, Trump should be opposed at every point. Besides, things can happen. There might be a surprise from the supreme court on the 14th Amendment. Trump might do something(s) repulsive enough that voters finally have enough of him. Something could happen with his health. It’s not over until it’s over. Vance and other Trumpists are disgracefully wrong in equating our free country to Russia’s dictatorship. However, calling them out and rejecting their false claims does not require pretending that everything the present administration does and has done is perfect. There has been a double standard sometimes. Parents griping at school board and PTA meetings really don’t belong on the terrorism threat board. The poor losers who followed Trump’s orders to attack the capitol have been treated more harshly than many of the violent rioters and even arsonists who participated in leftist riots in 2020. We should hope for equal justice and condign punishment, irrespective of the political preferences of the offenders. I did not know who Douglas Mackey was until I read Cathy Young’s article, but it does seem like seven months in the slammer is a bit stiff for what was basically a stupid prank. The administration and the DOJ should be working on being and appearing to be even handed and impartial. It is both the right and the politically pragmatic thing to do. They do not need to be handing Trumpists ammo on the “deep state” stuff.
