Robert Kirby: You’re running out of time to end the year on a good note

If you were stranded at sea with little hope of immediate rescue and the only other person in the lifeboat was President Donald Trump, would you push him out?

If he tried to climb back in, would you beat him with an oar?

I ask this part because it’s common to have second thoughts after an impulsive act.

Now suppose, instead of Trump, the other person in the boat were Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Vladimir Putin, your ex-spouse or some reprobate newspaper columnist. Anyone you might hate for whatever reason.

My answer to the original question is that I wouldn’t push Trump out of the boat.
