Edward Luce: “The shortest answer is disbelief. Democrats find it hard to imagine that the US could sleepwalk into another Trump presidency. At some point voters will surely wake up. Yet there is no consensus on how to make this happen.”
“At the start of the year, liberals had faith that the US legal system would try Trump on his more egregious indictments, notably attempting to overthrow an election.
Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, that prospect is vanishingly small before the November election. A guilty verdict on the hush money porn star case in New York this week would be poor consolation.”
