Okay, one more Trump link today: Frank Rich reveals the one thing than can stop The Donald: Republican voters voting for someone else. At first, that doesn't sound promising when you consider how unappealing most of those "someone elses" are…but I think Trump will manage to drive his voters to others. Just give him more microphones and more time.

And I think Rich is right when he says that the Republican candidates shrieking that Obama's not doing enough to destroy ISIS are not really proposing to do anything he's not already doing except to sound tougher about it when they address the American people. I wish more people could differentiate between talking tough and actually doing things that are tough. But Mr. Rich disappoints me though when he wades into the area of Obama's decision to deliver his Oval Office Address standing at a lectern instead of seated at a desk. It reminds me of all those pundits in 2000 whose election analysis had a lot to do with the colors of Al Gore's suits and ties.
