Escaping Trump's revenge

Nikki Haley won the Republican primary in Washington, D.C., yesterday, with about 63% of the vote to Donald Trump's 33%, securing all 19 available delegates and becoming the first woman to ever win a Republican presidential primary.

Escaping Trump's revenge

To be sure, the contest was tiny: Just over 2,000 Republicans voted in the overwhelmingly Democratic city of Washington. But I admire Nikki Haley's tenacity.

On the other hand, I'm learning something disturbing about other Trump opponents, both Democrats and Republicans.

When I served in Bill Clinton's Cabinet, one of my favorite progressive lawmakers was Jim McDermott, who represented Seattle from 1989 to 2017. Jim had a long and distinguished legislative record. In his final year in Congress, he became one of the most trenchant critics of Donald Trump. He's still criticizing Trump from his safe house.

Soon after Trump was elected in 2016, Jim blasted him for issuing inflammatory tweets, such as claiming without evidence that millions of people had voted illegally in the presidential election. Jim also openly worried about future sessions of Congress. "I think it's going to be a very tough...helping the new president understand how a democracy actually works."

Jim is now living in Civrac-en Medoc, a town of a few hundred people in western France, north of Bordeaux.
