It troubles me, the number of posters who attack Ezra Klein not for what he says, but for his ethnicity problem.
My response begins with a verbatim quote from Jette Elkan: "So wie sie es mit uns machen, so werden sie es später auch mit euch machen!" Who was Jette Elkan, and what was she saying? Translation: "As they [Nazis] do with us, so later will they also do with you!"
Why do these words from the 1930s matter to me? Frau Elkan was a Jewish resident of Raesfeld, Germany, the town where my mother lived. Frau Elkan played the role of "canary in the coal mine," warning others of dangers to come. Her prediction became reality.
Has it occurred to any of the critics that maybe, just maybe, Ezra Klein is trying alert us as Jette Elkan tried to do?

Look for the narcissist. The most obvious target in today's lineup is, of course, Donald Trump. When he looks at a glass, he is mesmerized by its reflection. If Donald Trump were shaped a little differently, he would compete for Miss America. But whatever the depths of self-enchantment, the demagogue has to say something. So what does Trump say? That he is a successful businessman and that that is what America needs in the Oval office. There is some plausibility in this, though not much. The greatest deeds of American Presidents--midwifing the new republic; freeing the slaves; harnessing the energies and vision needed to win the Cold War--had little to do with the bottom line.
Essay William F. Buckley wrote for Cigar Aficionado in 2000.

"Yo, Angela, baby. Got a problem. Maybe you could help me out? We have a national debt about 20 trillion. Yeah, that's trillion with a 't'. Yeah, I know. Surprised me too. Anyway, I was wondering... Could you, like, chip in a cool trillion?
Whaddya mean, 'nein'? Listen, I promised the suckers I'd deliver. What? Because wouldn't wanna piss 'em off. What? Because if they get their hands on me they'll rip me to shreds. Believe me, I know these people. You know the Big Red Button? Yeah, that one. The one in the Oval Office. Well, my hand's hovering over that button. Whaddya mean, 'you wouldn't dare'? How you think I got Mexico to pay for that fuckin' wall?
Why don't you check around the sofa? Aw, I can tell you're just stalling. Tell you what. I'll give you a minute to think it over. Starting now. >YAWN!< God, I'm sleepy."
