Top American Historians Find a Modern Way to Rip Donald Trump; Daily Beast, 7/13/16

Eleanor Clift, Daily Beast; Top American Historians Find a Modern Way to Rip Donald Trump:

"“I just finished a children’s book on Grover Cleveland. I know all of them [the former presidents], and they are deeply flawed—but none of them have the glaring flaws of Donald Trump.

I wish there were a Murrow [Edward R.] or a Cronkite [Walter] to expose him,” Burns said, voicing nostalgia for the giants of the journalistic past who took on Joe McCarthy and his communist witch hunts, and brought the truth about the Vietnam War into American living rooms.

Today’s media, for whatever reason, has failed, said Burns."

“This is the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy,” Graham told The New York Times. “If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it,” he added. “There’ll come a time when the love of country will trump hatred of Hillary.”"
