Riddle me this:
On the Republican side, you see all kinds of leading politicians denouncing Trump for this, that, or the other thing. I don't think I have seen a single one come out four-square in support—not even the VP nominee! At best, they accept all of his faults but say they still can't vote for Hillary.
I never see the same thing on the Democrat side. I never see leading Democrats denounce Clinton for this, that, or the other thing. They don't accept that she has faults, but at least she is better than Trump. They always seem to come out four-square in support—even Obama, who should know better.
Why can't Democrats acknowledge the Clinton scandals the way Republicans acknowledge Trump's weaknesses? Why must they always minimize, deflect, hush-hush, and counter-attack? I'm sure there are exceptions. . . . So I stand to be corrected. But at least the media I see present a starkly curious asymmetry between the way the leading lights in each party respond to the obvious flaws in their own nominee.
Note from KBJ: This letter is from a highly educated Canadian, who happens to be a libertarian. I asked him for permission to post his letter (which he gave) so that y'all could answer his question.
