Divided we fall

I suggested on Wednesday, when the departure of Ted Cruz and John Kasich from the race made Donald Trump the presumptive nominee, that people who were disappointed in the results take a deep breath and think rationally about the right step to take in light of the challenge that lies ahead - which is to keep Hillary Clinton out of the White House. No, it was not a huge surprise that many people didn't listen. It seems par for the course in this insane presidential season. At a time when the Republican Party should be coming together behind the presumptive nominee, we're getting bogged down by distractions from two sources.
