A NYTimes opinion writer has never seen a political season like this one that strained relationships and long standing friendships. It is basically the Trump/No Trump forces at work. A good friend of mine for many years indicated he probably would vote for Trump and thought having Christie and Carson would be a plus. I gently replied - Try this scenario - with Trump at the top of the ticket - the party regulars will sit on their hands - the down ballot folks will run for their lives - the Senate will go "D" - we'll get that ninth jurist - and Bill Clinton will sleep in the Lincoln bedroom. Christie will be pre-occupied with the Bridgegate trials and Carson should have stayed in the O.R. I haven't heard from him since but I think our friendship will endure.
