Otherwise rational human beings are subject to irrational dislikes. Columnist Peggy Noonan has a near-terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is probably incurable for her as a native of NYC.
While Trump dominated the GOP she was an Edvard Munch figure screaming “Nooooooo” and basically unreadable. In spite of which the Wall Street Journal stuck with her.
Pre-Trump she was one of the better columnists about politics. Now that the GOP is no longer “all Trump, all the time” I am tempted to celebrate that Peggy is back. Certainly her WSJ column today about Ron DeSantis shows her customary balance, nuance, and insight. Give it a look.
