The women’s vote is not that cheap.Reade, like Christine Blasey-Ford, is credible because there aren’t enough reasons to conclude otherwise. People are entitled to the presumption of respect when they report violence.This is not an endorsement of the “believe all women” mantra. I would say the same thing about any person who reports a crime, speaks publicly and files a police report.

But on foreign policy, at least, he is sounding like a leftist hero.In a Monday press conference, Trump accused former Vice President Joe Biden of sending “our youth to fight in these crazy endless wars.” Then he mused: “I’m not saying the military is in love with me.
