National Perspective — David Shribman — September 27, 2017

David Shribman

The conviction of the Democrats: The tawdry details of Donald Trump's private life that are emerging from his New York trial involving $130,000 in hush money to the porn star Stormy Daniels finally will sink the former president's reelection campaign. The chaos in the House of Representatives will turn the Republicans out of control of the chamber. Republican reluctance to support armaments for Ukraine will soil the party's reputation for a generation.

The devout belief of the Republicans: The upheaval on the nation's campuses will doom Joe Biden's reelection effort. The anti-Israel rhetoric of the Democrats' progressive wing will undermine confidence in the party's ability to represent ordinary Americans. The courtroom ordeal of Trump will persuade Americans that the legal actions against him are purely political.
