Like a child, the WSJ editorial page editor is —
- Oblivious to the assured danger to the Constitution from anyone to the left of Trump
- Regardless of the implications just as regards the Supreme Court
- Admits of no recognition of the current lack of a viable neverhillary/nevertrump alternative
- Has a smirk that suggests he is after a pat on the head

WSJ‘s Bret Stephens: Trump Must Lose So Badly That the GOP Voters ‘Learn Their Lesson’
Stephens Speaking to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria Sunday afternoon, Wall Street Journal‘s Bret Stephenssaid that it was important for Donald Trump to lose the general election so utterly that the Republican party and its voters “learn their lesson” and never nominate someone like him ever agin.
Stephens has been one of Trump’s most outspoken conservative critics, writing in March, for instance, that Trump is essentially an amplified version of Barack Obama. Both men were “epic narcissists who see themselves as singularly suited to redeem an America that is not only imperfect but fundamentally broken,” he wrote.
“The candidacy of Donald Trump is the open sewer of American conservatism,” he wrote on another occasion.
“I most certainly will not vote for Donald Trump,” Stephens told Zakaria, adding that he wanted to “make sure he is the biggest loser in presidential history” in a very long time.
Stephens continued: “It’s important that Donald Trump and what he represents — this kind of ethnic quote ‘conservatism’ or populism — be so decisively rebuked that the Republican party, the Republican voters learn their lesson that they cannot nominate a man so manifestly unqualified to be president in any way, shape, or form.”
Keep in mind, it is inevasible from his comments, this is who the righteous Mr. Stephens prefers to be our president, from Powerline: Hillary . . .
But lest us lessers forget: (from his Wiki post)
“Stephens won the annual Pulitzer Prize for *Commentary recognizing his 2012 columns for the Journal for “incisive columns on American foreign policy and domestic politics, often enlivened by a contrarian twist.” (who can argue with that?)
You gotta love this guy. a smug arrogant brahmin twit…velly, velly smaht and sophisticated, you understand…as all jolly “middlesex” men are.
He is your ultimate eastern liberal, those who like to pose as “conservatives”…uh, up to a point, of course, until the, ugh, “lesser” classes start to yammer about “social issues” and the ‘value’ of ‘borders’.
Brett and wife, Corinna da Fonseca-Wolheim, and their fellows in the “better bred” class have far better things to worry about, don’t you know. (bio here)
