The moment Donald Trump lost the election [View all]

When all’s said and done, it will be the Khan moment that forever altered the 2016 presidential election.

Donald Trump will never recover from it.

It won’t even be Trump’s belittling of Arizona Sen. John McCain for being shot down and captured during the Vietnam War, his suggestion that Second Amendment advocates might want to knock off his Democratic opponent or that a sitting U.S. president is the founder of a global jihadist organization. All those things, somehow, could have been forgiven by enough voters to make the New York businessman competitive in November.

But not his dust-up with the parents of a dead U.S. Army officer. There Trump mortally wounded himself.

It’s perfect in a way — Shakespeare perfect.
