True, we’re more than a year away from the election, and the Democrats haven’t picked their nominee yet. A lot can happen.

But the point here is that whatever Trump is doing is not working, or not working well enough. You’re not supposed to think such things if you are a Trump supporter because it suggests you’re not a loyal passenger on the Trump train.

Yet the only thing that will cause Trump to shift course to a more successful outcome is the sense that his supporters are losing heart and that his cause is losing its potency. It’s simple war logic: If you don’t understand the balance of forces arrayed against you, you lose.

jpodhoretz@gmail.com Bill O’Reilly has long helmed the most-watched show on cable news, but one prominent Republican has had harsh words for him: Gov. Jeb Bush, who once wrote that he had no respect for the host. And that tension highlights one of the ugliest stretches of Bush’s governorship.

On June 2, 2003, a Floridian named Omar Roberts—who didn’t seem to have any prior relationship with the then-governor—emailed Bush to praise him for a recent appearance on Sean Hannity’s show. Then he raised a concern: O’Reilly had been covering scandal involving Florida government entities, including the case of an autistic woman who was raped and impregnated while in state care.

“I would feel much better if you would just at least address these issues that O’Reilly is reporting either on his show or even on another interview with his friend, Sean Hannity,” continued Roberts. “I think that the issues of whether or not the Florida state leadership is to blame or if everything possible is being done—all need to be put to rest once and for all (or as much as possible).”

Then Roberts asked Bush to give him a heads-up if he ever went on the show. Bush replied to Roberts’ email a few hours later.

“Thank you for writing,” Bush said. “I did Sean’s show because he was in state and I respect him. O’Reilly on the other hand is someone who I don’t respect. I could give you many reasons but I won’t since it doesn’t matter
