Wall St. Jnl’s Bret Stephens wonders where Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh were months ago, approving Donald Trump but now not so sure.

Mr. Levin has since become more critical of Mr. Trump, though Mr. Limbaugh seems to be hedging his bets. But both men provided Mr. Trump with the margin of respectability he needed in the early months to make his campaign credible with Republican voters.

Stephens in general gives one pause, but this saying Trump needed Levin and Limbaugh respectability is something else, assuming as it does that L&L lifted T out of danger, when Trump’s rise to seeming invulnerability at least seems to be a bigger thing than that.

Worth every nickel if you count in the expected favors from a Hillary presidency:

The average CEO, using Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, makes $216,100. Clinton’s speaking agent, the Harry Walker Agency Inc., charged about $275,000 a speech and packaged three for Wall Street’s Goldman Sachs at $675,000.

If there’s redder meat for the faithful, what would it be? But the headline?

How’s “Asked by Hannity . . . ‘I wouldn’t say’ she ‘seems to be guilty,’ said Trump”?

Read past the headline, people.

Donald Trump said Monday night that he believes Hillary Clinton will likely get away with her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, but said that as president, he said it’s only fair that he’d look to prosecute Clinton.

Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked Trump in front of a live Nevada audience if his attorney general would go after Clinton should an investigation find she broke the law while serving in the Obama administration.

You have no choice, Trump replied. In fairness, you have to look into that.She seems to be guilty, he said. But you know what, I wouldn’t even say that.

Even the well-known eugenicist Margaret Sanger drew the line at abortion, in fact presented birth control as happily preventing it.

“While there are cases where even the law recognizes an abortion as justifiable if recommended by a physician, I assert that the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year are a disgrace to civilization.” — Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood (Planned Parenthood performs about a third of the 1.1 million abortions that occur in the United States every year).

He sees votes in dat defunding, sure, but a question or two:

Are there not birth-control services that are not also abortion-providers?

Is not support for Planned (Un-)Parenthood primarily support for abortion? (For sale of baby-body parts too, for that matter?)
