Those are the major takeaways from a series of private conversations, briefings and official talking points involving major Republican decision-makers across Washington, including inside the White House, after their party's losses Nov. 4. Their assessment highlights the extent to which the fate of the Republican Party is tied to Trump, a term-limited president who insists the economy under his watch has never been stronger. That's even as an increasing number of voters report a different reality in their lives.

I'm not saying that there is a Holocaust, and by the way, I'm not saying that Donald Trump is Hitler, Biden said. Because Hitler had an ideology. And he had a grand plan.

To confront Donald Trump is to engage in asymmetric warfare. It is to enter a battlefield that is not level, where he enjoys an immediate and in-built advantage over those who would oppose him or merely hold him to account.

The University of Pennsylvania has launched Climate and Environment Journalism: Truth-Telling in the Trump Era through its English department and American Conservatism From Taft to Trump for political science students.

When high-powered Democratic attorney Kathryn Ruemmler - now the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs - needed to vent about Donald Trump's rise in politics, she turned to their mutual acquaintance, Jeffrey Epstein. "Trump is living proof of the adage that it is better to be lucky than smart," she told Epstein in an email in August 2015, while planning a visit to his Manhattan mansion.
