Five days in June

Published June 7, 2016 4:04am ET



Sometime between Thursday, June 1, and Sunday, June 5, the political winds appeared to shift drastically, owing to three major things. First, Hillary Clinton hit her stride for the first time since she started, making her debut as Iron Lady 2.0, presenting herself as a world leader, as a commander-in-chief and as a Trump basher of the very first magnitude. She’s been lighting into the lad with what one might call relish, and outing our grandiose home-grown Il Duce as the truculent gas bag he is.

Second, said gas bag unloaded (again) on Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is trying the case of Trump University, the con game Trump ran for gullible people, saying that since Curiel was ‘Mexican’ (he was born in Indiana to Mexican immigrants) he could not judge him fairly at all.
