Ruth Marcus is perhaps the most egregious example of the mainstream pundit worrywart.
If you just take a pure conservative concern troll, and dilute it with some navel-gazing contrarianism, Ruth Marcus is the yield.
Got to disagree with Ruth Marcus here. There's no reason to believe that if Trump is jailed for contempt of court it will help him in a general election. An example of Trump's ability to get inside people's heads. Normal rules of politics do apply to Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
I can't forget Ruth Marcus' strident insistence that there should be no prosecutions of the lawless George W. Bush administration, because it was much more important to "ensure" (somehow) that this "never happen again."
How did we do on that?
And why is her solution still the same?
With 15 years of hindsight, Ruth Marcus remains firmly convinced -- for some reason -- not only that prosecutions make things worse, but that crouching and hiding will make things better.
Instead of jail, the judge should consider assigning Trump to psychiatric examinations. Let’s have America finally find out why he wears clown makeup everyday & why he thinks Revolutionary War airports were important military targets.
