Bret Stephens at the Wall Street Journal really, really doesn't like Donald Trump.
In an interview with CNN's serial plagiarist Fareed Zakaria, Stephens said it is his goal to "make sure he [Trump] is the biggest loser in presidential history" and that "[i]t's important that Donald Trump and what he represents – this kind of ethnic quote 'conservatism' or populism – be so decisively rebuked that the Republican party, the Republican voters learn their lesson that they cannot nominate a man so manifestly unqualified to be president in any way, shape, or form."

In his latest piece, Stephens attempts to convince his readers that conservatives have some form of derangement syndrome over Mexico, and that, in fact, "Americans are blessed to have Mexico as our neighbor."  Given his background, we might expect Stephens to be less than objective toward Mexico.  Stephens was raised in the centerpiece of Mexican corruption itself, Mexico City, where his father was a senior executive in a chemical company.......Mexicans aren't Muslims, but they do export an equally threatening revolutionary philosophy called the "La Raza" movement – one that a certain judge presiding over the Trump University class action lawsuit is potentially implicated in, giving a textbook example of bringing the administration of justice into disrepute.....The most overtly ridiculous claim by Stephens goes as follows:
