Scott Adams is still predicting a Trump landslide. Get right with Donald.

To the Editor:

“Experts Find Flaws in Trump Plan for Wall” (front page, May 20) misses the point. No one can do what Donald Trump proposes: legally, financially, logistically, morally and on and on. He knows that.

He also knows that he only has to do it a little bit but with a lot of noise and press coverage: a roundup of a few thousand illegal immigrants with a crowd of cheering bigots and the pundits going all out on television, for example.

It’s the symbolism, amplified by the reaction, that he seeks, and he will be lauded. Mission accomplished. Don’t overanalyze this.

Note from KBJ: All I can say to James Hubert and his ilk is, "Just watch."

Stephen Hayes has gone beyond moral preening to become a prick. Don't think that this is about principle, conservative or otherwise. It's about Hayes advancing his career.

Canyon (1985). 3:32. OMG. An incredible song on an incredible album. Here is the story of how the album was recorded. The following note is from the album liner: "The desert drum, heard in GRAND CANYON SUNRISE and GRAND CANYON SUNSET, has a characteristic buzzing sound; please know it is not distortion on the record or in your speakers."

Addendum: I highly recommend that you read Barry Lopez's essay "Gone Back into the Earth" (first published in May 1981), which is available here.

Addendum 2: Only five of the 10 songs (compositions) on the album were recorded in the Grand Canyon. "Grand Canyon Sunrise" was recorded in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York, on 28 March 1983.

Here are highlights from today's stage of the Giro d'Italia.

How Trump is killing saving the Republican Party.

To the Editor:

Re “Sanders Willing to Harm Clinton in Homestretch” (front page, May 19):

If Bernie Sanders persists in attacking Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, we are in danger of a repeat of the catastrophes of 1968, when the decent and progressive Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey lost to Richard Nixon (I was one of those young Democrats who refused to vote for Humphrey and lived to regret it); 1972, when the very progressive George McGovern lost 49 states to Nixon; and 2000, when Ralph Nader’s candidacy resulted in the election of George W. Bush.

Can we possibly afford even the slightest chance that Donald Trump will become our next president? There goes the Supreme Court if he does, and who knows what else.

To the Editor:

The New York Times seems stunned that Bernie Sanders actually wants to win his primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. He wants, The Times moans, to inflict a heavy blow on her in California and even—gasp!—wrest the nomination from her. What cheek!

Doesn’t the Vermont senator understand that The Times has anointed Hillary with the nomination? And that he should mind his manners?

Note from KBJ: Hillary and Bernie entered a footrace. Hillary thought Bernie was hired to serve as her rabbit. Bernie doesn't remember entering into an agreement.
