"From the jump"? Really? I find I take time to form an opinion.

That's amusing. I posted here just in the last few days about my unusual reluctance to establish opinions, about requiring a lot of thought and definitive evidence. I'm serious about the "well-considered" qualifier often paired with "opinion." Yesterday I got some push back on my caution. Today I find the opposite.

Getting an early sense of someone is not forming an opinion. There is a basic and critical human instinct to sense oddity and potential risk in novel encounters. The output of that reaction is not opinion but wariness and watchfulness.

There is no question that Trump was and is sui generis. As he seemed to me early on and as he turned out, not in a good way.
