Krugman, and all other pundits, need to get this through their head: there will not be another federal election in the U.S. in the manner we have come to expect. The sooner they figure this out and start saying it, the better. You don’t go through all the trouble of destroying things only to have someone else come along four years later to put it all back together. Threats to Trump and his guys that they will piss off voters are not threats.
