GOP: Krauthammer's wrong about candidates

Re: “Current odds favor GOP” (Charles Krauthammer column, 8-14).

Poor Wrong-way Charles is right about one thing: Teflon Don Trump won’t get the Republican presidential nomination.

Krauthammer’s assessment of the Democratic Party’s “thin” bench is not worrisome in comparison to the Republicans’ extremely crowded clown car, er . . . clown bus.

Krauthammer touts the Republican contenders as “impressive and plausibly presidential” (I respectfully disagree) and “one white guy fluent in Spanish.” The Republicans have driven off the Hispanic vote, so what difference does that make?
