I’m not sure if Neil Steinberg is more aware of himself than other people are, or simply writes about himself more honestly. At any rate, in Wednesday’s Sun-Times he admits (to his own horror) that he’s coming around a little on Donald Trump: “The really scary part is, at least while reading the story [about Trump buckling down to serious and traditional campaigning in Iowa], I found myself nodding my head, thinking, ‘Yes, yes, Donald Trump, working hard, maybe the man deserves to be president.’
“Could Donald Trump be a secret double-agent, sent by Democrats to destroy their party from within?” asked the BBC last month. BBC reporter Anthony Zurcher noted that Jeb Bush was playing this card. “Maybe Donald negotiated a deal with his buddy Hillary Clinton,” Bush had tweeted. “Continuing this path will put her in the White House.”
He winked! We’ll say.
