David Fahrenthold is the Post reporter who is doing some incredible reporting on Trump.

I know, the similarities in the names drives me crazy too. For some reason, fate placed them on the very opposite ends of the spectrum.

Farenthold seems to be betting that he will lose less votes by support Trump than he would by abandoning him.

I hope he made a bad bet.
