We need to describe politics and politicians in measured terms from our perspective. If we are picking through a bin of rotten fruit then it is not delicious and we should recognize it as rotten.

1. Trump really is a narcissist. That's not a strawman accusation.

2. I'm unclear about this whole "yardstick" analogy. I get that Trump is the current apex of MSM antipathy, so the media will have to come up with something new for the next GOP presidential candidate, but it will. Thanos and Pennywise are still available.

3. What do you mean when you say that the Republicans' yardstick is also broken? Is it an acknowledgment that every GOP candidate must pledge fealty to Trump in order to be accepted as viable (or even worthy of being called a Republican)?
