Mr. Dionne writes an OpEd Column.  Not surprisingly, his columns express his views.  That's what OpEds do.  He cites many facts in his column and draws conclusions from those facts.  You may not like the facts. You may not like the conclusions.  You're certainly welcome to challenge the facts with documentation sources contering them.  You're certainly welcome to challenge Mr. Dionne's conclusions and his opinions....That's the whole point of civil discourse.  Instead of dismissing Mr. Dionne's piece with an effort to trivialize it with "EJ  just doesn't like Trump", how about attempting to counter his views.... I enjoy reading such a response and counterargument.
