Although a single vote has yet to be cast in Iowa or New Hampshire, it’s tempting to ponder a pair of summer and autumnal spectacles that probably will go unmentioned in next Tuesday’s debate in Iowa, the seventh such gathering of President Trump’s challengers: a brokered Democratic National Convention, come July, and a “hung” presidential jury – 269 electoral votes for each candidate – come November.

All universities say they value diversity in ideology and political points of view in addition to diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, etc. Maybe so, but good luck finding more than a handful of Republicans among faculty. Moreover, as older conservative, disproportionately male faculty members retire, they are being replaced with more leftist-leaning women and underrepresented minorities. Political diversity on campus is nothing more than a slogan. 

Those who trafficked in the dossier’s concocted mess were infected, and their reputations are now declining.
