SPRINGFIELD — If statistics are any prediction, I ought to be an enthusiastic supporter of Donald Trump.

After all, I'm a middle-aged white male, a gun owner, a rural resident and an Evangelical Christian.

On top of that, I have a long history of being deeply skeptical of government-worker unions and a history of opining in support of fiscal conservatives.

All of those things would seem to portend a devotion for The Donald.

Former supermodel and global women’s rights advocate Kathy Ireland is defending Melania Trump from anyone who is shaming the new first lady for her past modeling career.

“It’s not OK for anybody to take swipes at anyone else,” Ireland said yesterday during an appearance on Boston Herald Radio. “What message does that send to children? It dehumanizes people. You can disagree — that’s a freedom that we have and that’s wonderful — but to bully another human being is just unacceptable.”

For a brief, breathless moment Tuesday night, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow was at the center of the political media universe.

With a single tweet, she set in motion a social media storm, compelled the White House to undercut her by releasing some of President Donald Trump's tax return information, was accused of breaking the law, was attacked by Fox News Channel and likely drew one of her biggest audiences.
