Jeffrey Goldberg in Conversation with Alex Wagner: Trump and the Military

Expanding on his explosive reporting about Donald Trump’s trenchant disdain for military personnel, Goldberg draws upon decades of his own reporting, including key interviews with top officials such as the late Senator John McCain, former Defense Secretary James Mattis, and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, all of whom came to oppose Trump. Hear what informed Goldberg’s portrait of a president whose impulse is to dismiss acts of heroism in pursuit of dangerously undemocratic processes and ideals, why he believes Trump is incapable of understanding sacrifice and selflessness, and, as Kirkus Reviews writes in a review of the book, “the frightening ease with which democracy can be undermined by those unwilling to make the sacrifices necessary to protect it.”

How on earth can this election be nearly tied? The number of disqualifiers or red lines crossed has become so numerous that no one can even remember them all. Is basic human decency too much to ask for nowadays?

I don't like Trump / Vance ticket and wished a more Reagan Republican candidate was on the ticket. However, this session is to left leaning for Harris. It is not that Harris is better is it really about the best of two evil. either one is not right for this country.
