Listening to the Republican presidential contenders — with the exception of Ohio Gov. John Kasich — reminds me of the arguments I used to hear in the cafeteria when I was teaching in a junior high school [“Target: Trump,” News, March 4].
Kasich is the only Republican candidate who would be respected on the world stage.

The barrage of criticism being unleashed against various Trump enterprises — Trump University, etc. — may cause Donald Trump to rue the day he decided to run for president.
As long as these claims persist, more people will become aware of them, and that is bound to have a negative impact on the Trump business empire.
There is little doubt that his reputation as a successful businessman will be seriously eroded, and nothing seems to be more important to him.

During the most recent Republican debate, my wife left the living room, refusing to listen to any more sniping.
She said, “This isn’t a presidential debate. This is ‘The Jerry Springer Show.’ ”
Sounds right.

What does it say that Donald Trump is slow to disavow David Duke [“Super showdowns today,” News, March 1], a white supremacist former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, but was quick to denounce Pope Francis, the leader of the Catholic Church?
