Political leaders teach, whether intentionally or not. What are Donald Trump, along with his supporters, teaching Americans, particularly young people, right now? That to be a success you must be crude, and rude, and insulting, and egotistical, and narcissistic, and greedy, and unprincipled, and vindictive, and ignorant, and shallow, and rich. Oh, and that it's okay to write books in which you shamelessly brag about the long string of married women you bedded.
Bad leaders make bad followers. My encounters with Trump supporters in recent days serve to once again confirm this conclusion. Hard to find one who doesn't launch into a nasty groundless personal attack once you tell them that there's no way on God's green earth that you're going to support their reprobate candidate. They take your lack of support for this man quite personally.
This can't end well for America.
