Without Shame 

 President Trump is at it again with his suggestion that voters in North Carolina vote twice, once by mail and once at the polls.  He failed to account for the illegality of it and that it is a felony.  State officials quickly disabused citizens with statements that explained the criminality of the act.  One wonders how anyone can practice such base PR.  It is outrage after outrage and polls show he is getting away with it among a sizable group of Americans.  Fortunately, they are not a majority yet, but no political analyst assumes at this point that a Biden victory will be a romp.  What Trump is proving is that emotional appeals work.  He has mastered the craft of anger and bullying so that he can fool some of the people all of the time.  Trump is a lesson in the dangers to democracy from those who don't respect institutions or citizens.  If he should fail in November, he will still go down as one of the worst, if not the worst, presidents in the country's history.  He already is a case example of horrible PR.  He will be looked upon by historians as a sociopath who clawed to the top.
