Clearing the air for GOP candidates
It’s been 61 years since Joseph Welch effectively ended the political career of Joseph McCarthy with the question “Have you no sense of decency?”
The circumstances of a presidential nomination campaign aren’t the same as a Senate hearing, but is it possible that John Kasich now performs the same public service, in regards to Donald Trump? All credit to him, especially if what he’s doing clears the air regarding other Republican candidates’ campaigns.
