As Dan Rather notes, "a who’s who of Republican officials from the Trump administration and many of the Pentagon’s top brass" have now warned us that the man is "unfit to serve."

Rather asks,

"if Trump should win, what would that say about our country?"

Unfit to Serve

Period.

Count New Hampshire governor Sununu among the Americans who want to shrug at Trump's infatuation with Hitler: asked about this yesterday on CNN, Sununu shrugged and said extremism is just "baked into" Trump.

But so what?

Heather Cox Richardson highlights this statement by Sununu:

“If we can get a Republican mindset out of Washington, we need that culture change.”

Trump loves Hitler? Trump's a fascist? So what?

"On Wednesday, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu dismissed Trump's praise for Hitler’s generals as a fact that is 'baked in' to the election results. ...

If Donald Trump wins, it will be in large part because wealthy business leaders (like Soon-Shiong) and spineless politicians like Chris Sununu put their political and monetary fortunes ahead of the democracy that allowed them to succeed. Shame, shame, shame!"

"This is the time for political courage.

Instead, America’s highest-profile business leaders — Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase; Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft; and Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway — are displaying political cowardice."

Political cowardice in the C-suites

Jamie Dimon, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett have spoken out on everything else but are afraid to come out against Trump. They are relinquishing whatever claims they had to leadership in America.

"I hope that many of the people now supporting Trump will have an attack of conscience on their way to their polling station. But as Trump’s running mate, J. D. Vance, once wrote for The Atlantic, Trump is 'cultural heroin,' and the hard choice of civic virtue will never match the rush of racism, hatred, and revenge that Trump offers in its place."

Never Go Full Hitler

Trump's embrace & praise of Hitler should have been the breaking point for the GOP, but instead they've decided to go all in. We've officially reached the bottom, and none of it should be normalized.

"It needs to be emphasized at every opportunity that the Republican currently running to be president of the United States is on the side of the Nazis whom we sacrificed so much blood and treasure to defeat in World War II. It’s devastating that this tragic truth is not enough to render Donald unacceptable to every single American—or, indeed, no elected Republcans."
