George F. Will: The best cure for a bad election is a better election

Washington • If Donald Trump were to tweet that 9 is a prime number, that Minneapolis is in Idaho, and that the sun revolves around the Earth — “Make Earth Great Again!” — would even five Republican senators publicly disagree with even one of the tweets?

So, the likelihood that he will not finish his term is vanishingly small.
