Los Angeles Times (August 2)
Yesterday, this newspaper’s “editorial board said it was time for GOP officials to stop condemning Trump’s individual offenses as if they were gaffes and recognize that his ‘entire campaign is based on his ego, his intolerance and his disreputable world view,’” warning that “‘those who will not repudiate him are on the wrong side in this battle for the nation’s political soul.’” Today, it appears “as if prominent Republicans are starting to bail, convinced that their nominee’s [latest] ramblings…will weigh down the Trump campaign ship enough to sink it.”

Chicago Tribune (December 24)
“We missed it. Readers and I, along with almost everyone else, failed to foresee the rise and confounding political buoyancy of GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump, whose ride atop the polls was the nation’s biggest story in 2015.”
