Trump is responsible for who he listens to and he listens to fringe.  Kobach is simply another example.  I am surprised he is not a 9/11 truther.  As for rigging elections, voter ID is more of an attempt to rig the result than any voting scheme.  Luckily, the federal courts are catching them.  Sadly, states seem to be igoring the courts.

The Al Smith dinner is always a respite from the election.  It is not a time for debate.  Sadly, the pro-choice Democratic establishment has not made an effort to explain to the bishops the error in their analysis of Roe and why it can’t be overturned without overturning much of the rest of federal equal protection law.  Of course, even a concerted effort won’t change the views of true believers (like MSW) unless, of course, the bishops look at this honestly.
