Noting that the former president and convicted felon has now become the Republican nominee three times in eight years, the board said: “A once great political party now serves the interests of one man, a man as demonstrably unsuited for the office of president as any to run in the long history of the republic, a man whose values, temperament, ideas and language are directly opposed to so much of what has made this country great.”

Huh.

Between this and the similarly themed LA Times op-ed, it almost appears as if at least some notable mainstream outlets are starting to maybe suspect that electing a profoundly mentally ill would-be dictator might not benefit their bottom line as much as they'd initially thought.

Is it too much to hope that they might even start subjecting his constant stream of crimes, lies and threats to scrutiny instead of just letting them pass unremarked?

This is surprising to me, have you seen their headlines and/or their board?

I list them out and who they're affiliated with here: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12173817

Someone that bad being ran, surely the Democrats have a slam dunk candidate to run against him, right?
