1. @DouthatNYT makes an interesting and full-throttle case that GOP isn't fully tainted by Trump because they've contained his worst instincts:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/07/opinion/trump-republicans-vote-democrat.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region®ion=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region …
