To the Editor:
I awoke on Saturday in an alternate universe, where the front page of one of the most respected newspapers in the world reported on candidates for the most powerful position in the world — Donald Trump and Marco Rubio—trading insults about urine and sweat. Mr. Trump crudely mocks anyone who crosses him with ad hominem attacks on that person’s intelligence or appearance.
It is conceivable that one of these men might one day have a finger on the nuclear button. What kind of future do we face when Americans allow, even celebrate, this appalling breakdown of civil discourse? I feel like a refugee in my own country.

Note from KBJ: How much do you want to bet that Fran Gardner wasn't the least bit troubled by Bill Clinton receiving fellatio in the Oval Office?
