There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

Alfred Doblin marvels at Chris Christie’s allegiance to Trumpery. A snippet:

When Christie crossed over to Trump, he said Trump had the best shot at winning. Elections are all about winning. Nothing new there. And unscrupulous people run for office all the time. Over in New York State, Sheldon Silver may become a two-word phrase for public corruption. The former Assembly speaker was sentenced to 12 years in prison just this week. But officials like Silver trafficked in public corruption. Trump is selling moral corruption. Because heating up a crowd against an entire religion is morally corrupt. Whether I call the Creator “God,” “Yahweh” or “Allah,” the Creator is the same. So if I defame Allah, I defame God and Yahweh. It is that simple.

So I don’t understand how Christie can stand behind Trump with either a wide-eyed grin or a blank-eyed stare — depending on the moment – when Trump promises to ban all Muslims from entering the United States. Has the governor no shame at all, no respect for the Muslims living in New Jersey? Has he no respect for the good people of Jersey City who were defamed by Trump?

Doblin should not have to marvel. Even the most cursory reading of American history teaches us that, time after time in America, those selling hate find a market.
