Seriously, when four American deaths in Benghazi, Libya, were blamed on Hillary Clinton’s ineptitude, it triggered 10 investigations — six by Republican-controlled committees — including her testifying for 11 hours.
Now that Donald Trump’s ineptitude has shortened more lives (by a factor of 10,000) shouldn’t his much greater ineptitude and dereliction of duty (he has a duty to tell the truth) trigger far more investigations of this American carnage?
Lyndon Johnson is one of only four U.S. presidents to get over 60% of the popular vote and the only one to exceed 61%. Yet, although he owned the biggest popular landslide in history, in the spring of 1968, overwhelmed by the Vietnam War, he told the nation he would not seek reelection. Trump should follow Johnson's example and not seek a second term. He would do himself, his party and the nation a great favor.
