Atlantic Mag Goes Full Coyote on Road Runner Trump

It is difficult to read former Newsweek reporter David Graham's "Trump the  Survivor" which was published in The Atlantic magazine on Sunday without conjuring up images of Wile E. Coyote in perpetual pursuit of the Road Runner, who always manages to evade doom. In fact, the subtitle of Graham's story just reinforces the image of Trump as the Road Runner: "He always manages to find a way."

You can almost feel Graham's Coyote level of frustration as his Road Runner Trump "always manages to find a way" over and over and over again to escape carefully planned doom. BEEP! BEEP!

I was not terribly impressed either with Graham's piece, especially in how he appears to leave the ballot as the last institution to defeat Trump. In a representative republic, shouldn't that be the first institution to defeat a candidate -- and indeed the only institution? To argue otherwise is to concede a lot more than Graham may have intended about the nature of Democrats.
