The media should be asking Republicans these questions - By Jennifer Rubin

Jennifer Rubin writes the Right Turn blog for The Post, offering reported opinion from a conservative perspective.

As Donald Trump’s behavior gets more erratic, it behooves the media at each and every opportunity to grill those Republicans still backing him for president. Here are a bunch of questions to get them started:

Are you alarmed by Trump’s lack of knowledge, such as his apparent unawareness that Russia was in Ukraine? What does that tell you about his capacity to absorb necessary knowledge to be president?

What does Trump’s admiration for Vladimir Putin tell you about Trump’s outlook and judgment?

If a campaign is indicative of the way a candidate would behave in office, are you concerned Trump will react emotionally when under pressure?

By the same token, are you worried that his administration would be chaotic and lacking knowledgeable, competent people?

How can the GOP be inclusive with Trump at the top of the ticket?

Given Trump’s apparent ignorance and unstable temperament, how can you countenance a Trump presidency?
