Paul Gigot and the Wall Street Journal Endorse Civil War

Paul Gigot is the editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page. He is an elite’s elite. He graduated from Dartmouth, went to work for the Journal in Chicago and Hong Kong, ran the “Potomac Watch” column, was a White House fellow under Reagan, and now runs the editorial page. Friends who have worked with Paul describe him as rather detached from his roots.

 

The Wall Street Journal editorial page is today running an editorial that has Gigot’s finger prints all over it. The paper declares that Trump without 1,237 delegates can be deprived of the Republican nomination.

 

The statement is factually true. But facts have a way of being messy in the face of passions a man like Gigot has worked hard to disassociate himself with.
