Instapundit Blog Archive PAUL BEDARD: Trump report card: "Trump report card: Public ignores Saudi scandal, boost president to polling high.
When Saudis kill a Saudi in Turkey, it’s not hugely resonant.

If they help us beat Iran, fine, but nobody thought they were our friends before.--Posted by Glenn Reynolds"
