“Where is the Fierce Urgency of Beating Trump?”

This was a headline for a Maureen Dowd New York Times opinion piece yesterday. She was addressing Harris — urging her to be more blunt about the stakes in this election. But this message should be sent to everybody. I watched PBS’s venerable show “Washington Week in Review” Friday evening. It was devoted to a desultory panel discussion of the presidential race — who was doing and saying what and who was reacting here and there. One would think they were talking about a normal presidential election instead of one between a narcissistic, sociopathic, criminal, self-proclaimed aspiring autocrat and a decent, competent, experienced defender of American democracy. “Washington Week” needed the fierce urgency of beating Trump, but failed to supply even a hint of it.
