Tribune Columnists Think About Trump So John Kass Doesn T Have To

Wednesday’s Tribune was full of opinion, but Ron Grossman, the editorials, Garrison Keillor, Richard Longworth and Jack Rakove, and Catherine Rampell were all about the same task: We think about Donald Trump so John Kass doesn’t have to.

   “The CIA is now the left’s champion of truth and beauty,” said Kass. And the Russians are now the bad guys, the same Russians we once championed against the “war-mongering conservative troglodytes” who never trusted them. Kass might not be following our logic. It’s simply that the CIA—famous for toppling governments in Central America, the Middle East, and Asia—knows its trade. And the Russians were simply doing what Russians do—messing with an American election because they could, and because one candidate talked nice about their leader and apparently was into Russians for many millions of dollars in loans.
