    Of note.

    Actually, the wait’s been even longer – per several Whispers ops, Card DiNardo requested a papal audience for USCCB Exec at the time of McCarrick’s resignation from the College (late July)... indeed, no answer yet – nor on the petition for Apostolic Visitation of US

    What the Trump-steering staffers are doing is perfectly defensible. Telling Bob Woodward all about it or writing an op-ed praising yourself for doing it, less so.

    There is no tribal incentive to simultaneously believe that Trump is totally unfit and that some version of populism deserved to triumph over the worldview embodied in The Op-Ed. But still both things are true.

    Among other things The Op-Ed's "free men and free markets" cant (sorry, Reason friends!) is a reminder that if the GOP establishment had to do it all over again they'd still lose to Trump.

    People who think my newspaper shouldn’t have published The Op-Ed are nuts. People who think its author shouldn’t have written it are reasonable.
