Re “Trump Can Win on Character,” by Rich Lowry (Opinion guest essay, Aug. 28):

I have long wished that The Times ran a humor section. With the publication of Rich Lowry’s essay, it appears that my wish has been granted.

What could be funnier than the thesis that Donald Trump — with his convictions on 34 felony counts for fraud, his civil judgment for sexual assault and defamation, his bragging about grabbing women, his phony university diploma mill, his phony charitable foundation and his never-ending litany of lies — could beat anyone on the basis of character?

Mr. Lowry should write for the late-night comics.

To the Editor:

In his essay, Rich Lowry of National Review outlines a strategy for Donald Trump to defeat Kamala Harris. But what Mr. Lowry fails to do is to articulate why anyone in his or her right mind would want Mr. Trump to be re-elected.

This isn’t just a Democratic talking point. Staunch conservatives such as Michael Luttig, Liz Cheney and George Conway condemn Mr. Trump as a threat to our republic’s institutions. The National Review as a conservative publication should be leading the charge against Mr. Trump. Its — and Mr. Lowry’s — failure to do so no doubt causes William F. Buckley Jr. to be spinning in his grave.

To the Editor:

It’s quite telling that in Rich Lowry’s piece he avoids discussing Donald Trump’s own character, a topic on which there is little dispute, even among Republicans — and on which Kamala Harris prevails dramatically. There has never been a president with a lower character than Mr. Trump, and it is obvious that Mr. Lowry knows this — thus he avoids the comparison.
