“Trump is certainly a flawed vessel. Indeed, Peggy Noonan wrote an entire column bemoaning what Trump might have been had he only been sane. But the obvious answer is that a “sane Trump” would never have decided to mount a hostile takeover of the Republican Party by demolishing the weaselly evasive bipartisan consensus on illegal immigration and much else – and then playing smash-mouth with the media in a way no “sane” “respectable” linguini-spined GOP nominee would ever contemplate. In that sense, a “sane Trump” would not be Trump.”
