Endorse This: Jeb Can’t Decide — Trump Or Hillary?

endorsethisbanner

Jeb Bush had a painful moment on CNN Thursday night, when host John Berman tried to grill him on the really crucial question for Republicans who are trying to take down Donald Trump: “Would he make a better president than Hillary Clinton?”

Jeb tried to change the subject immediately: “I don’t think Hillary Clinton’s gonna be elected President of the United States — she’s not trustworthy.” To which Berman then had to object that Jeb didn’t actually answer the question.

“No, I’ve learned not to answer questions. That’s one of the things that you do now in political discourse,” Bush said, letting out a laugh. “You answer what you want to say.”

Sadly, the most Jeb could do was affirm his belief that he would be a far better president than Hillary Clinton.

The best answer that Berman could squeeze out of Jeb, against Trump, after repeated attempts and an earnest insistence that voters had a right to know the answer to this either/or question: “He is not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America’s greatest fighting force.”

Norman Mailer, seated, Ed Fancher and Dan Wolf, founders of The Village Voice

If you are lucky in your life, you come to know one or two people who made you who you are other than your parents who gave you the extraordinary gift of life. Edwin Fancher, who it is my sad duty to inform you died last Wednesday in his apartment on Gramercy Park at the age of 100, is one such person in my life. He was one of the three founders of The Village Voice, the Greenwich Village weekly that became known as the nation’s first alternative newspaper. The Voice, and he, were so much more than that.
