I do not share Andrew Sullivan't intense fear -- but his piece on the threat of Trump is essential reading. We are fortunate to have in Hillary Clinton the genuinely strongest candidate -- as a candidate, as a preternaturally evolved human -- in our lifetime. We'll need that, after the election, as well as before it.

Update: Even after a year's preparation -- indeed, a lifetime's, for those of us who grew up on the mother's gall (h/t Lady Macbeth) of the Republican Party -- it's still a brain-fuck.
