A column in Politico informs us that the WaPo has reported that Trump is already planning to use the Insurrection Act from his first day in office to prevent any demonstrations against him. And, of course, he’s already made it clear that he wants his critics to be prosecuted. And, of course, there is his proposal to impose the 10 percent tariff on all imported goods. Just to name a few.
You would think the moderators at the various debates would want to explore these topics. Do the Trump alternatives support his plan to drive the country into a friendless dictatorship? Does the GOP as a whole think that massive tariffs, even on goods imported from our allies, are a good idea? Don’t the candidates want to use these issues as a way to create distance between themselves and Trump?
Silence.
