Am I wrong to suspect/hope that the Times’ 5000 word editorial on Trump being unfit for office is an indication that editors and publishers are waking up to the frightening realities of a Trump victory in November and, perhaps, “growing a set.”

I think there are some very good people on the editorial board, and they clearly prevailed in this case. Change of direction? Let’s stay tuned.

Doesn't come close to making up for the knee-jerk editorial calling on Biden to drop out within hours of the debate. One bad night erases four years of steady leadership and accomplishments? Really? Made as much sense as their ridiculous double endorsement of Klobuchar and Warren (who represented different policy wings of the party) in 2020. Sophomoric thinking and decision making. If Biden's too old to run again, that editorial should and could have been written a year ago when there was still time to have an open, democratic, competitive primary process to choose a successor.

I think they got spooked by the criticism and negative reaction of so many Democrats.
