Dayenu?

I usually scan the letters in the WSJ even when I have not read the stories to which they respond. Most of the time.

a few days ago among the letters about Georgia Senate candidate Walker I chuckled at this one, at least the first paragraph:

Ms. Noonan is on target. If Mr. Walker had fathered children by four different women and been accused of not supporting them, it would have been enough. If he had been accused of holding a gun to his wife’s head, it would have been enough. If he had been accused of paying for a partner’s abortion and then lying about it, it would have been enough.

In normal times, any one of these would have disqualified Mr. Walker as a candidate, but these aren’t normal times. Because of the endorsement by former President Donald Trump and his willing sycophants, the Republican Party is in danger of losing a winnable Senate seat.
