Irish Examiner view: Where are the sane voices?

Why have sane, decent Republicans and Democrats abandoned the field?

At last week’s Republican convention, US President Donald Trump evoked a violent, dystopian future, should Democrat Joe Biden win in November. By exploiting a fraught, intensifying situation, Trump threw fuel on the flames. 

That so many of his and his supporters’ wild claims were almost laughably dishonest seems to have made no difference.
