and what can be done for the huge (appalling) numbers of women who vote for Trump - a majority of white women in 2016, apparently? Maybe recent history will move some of them away from him and his misogynist running mate - but why are there ANY? or any decent man, come to that? Wow!

I did like Heather Cox Richardson's comment during the debate: 'heavens, she's leading him like a poodle' (followed by a tweet apologizing to poodles, who are quite smart dogs.)\

Let's hope it makes a difference.

Women voting for thump are the ones like Coney Barrett that are anti abortion. Not all women are nice people 🙁

Excellent piece Nina! The denizens of this country have been dummied down by TPTB( Uber wealthy) with everything they read, see and hear! Leading the country to select an illiterate-racist, misogynist, vapid wastrel and faux billionaire celebrity once again with nuclear codes in his small hands! I bow low to your knowledge, and attempts to educate the masses of absurdly uneducated! Sla’inte!

A stellar commentary. And your writing, "First of all, are you embarrassed yet? We Americans have given a lying, racist buffoon the most powerful job in the world once, and we appear to be willing to do it again" speaks to my longtime concern that the American president is simply an embarrassment. Not just wrong and dementing, but an embarrassment. He is also a remark on the diminishment of the American political psyche.

Maybe we on the left should be comforted the Q-anon now has us running Humane Society delicatessen franchises instead of a Pizza parlor pedophile ring chain.

He said he has a “conception of a plan” for health care. I think he meant to say, “contraception plan.”
