With 64 days until the election, Donald Trump is going after Republican Senator Jeff Flake of swing-state Arizona, calling him “weak” and not enough of  a “committed” leader to stop illegal immigration:

The Republican Party needs strong and committed leaders, not weak people such as @JeffFlake, if it is going to stop illegal immigration…

Earlier this year, University of Nebraska starting punter Sam Foltz died tragically in a car accident on the way home from a sports camp in Wisconsin.
The Cornhuskers honored Foltz’s memory on Saturday during their home opener when on the first punt attempt of the game, the team took the field with only 10 players in a missing-man formation. The play clock ran down and Nebraska was charged with a delay of game penalty, which Fresno State declined:

Whether they were impressed that Donald Trump took the initiative to meet with Mexico’s president or simply with the fact that he didn’t drool on himself while doing it, pundits had to admit that the GOP nominee fared pretty well Wednesday, even if they had set the bar to its lowest position.
So, it was inevitable that someone in the Trump camp would quickly feed the media something outlandish they could run with to reset the narrative…

When we look for villains in history, World War II provides a comfortingly easy dichotomy.
