Taking Trump Seriously

By JAMES FREEMAN

“I do not understand the inability or refusal of Republican leaders to take Mr. Trump seriously,” writes Peggy Noonan. He “touched an important nerve in opposing the political correctness that has angered the American people for a quarter century.
He changed the debate when he asked for a pause in Muslim immigration until America ‘can figure out what’s going on.’ In the age of terror, that looked suspiciously like common sense. Americans do not want America to become what Europe is becoming.”

Wow.
