'Ten monkeys with flamethrowers'

This is a great one-liner from Mike Murphy about how the Trump campaign has unwisely spent its money too early in the campaign. 

Murphy is a veteran Republican consultant, who advised John McCain and Jeb Bush and is an outspoken Trump critic. 

You could literally have 10 monkeys with flamethrowers go after the money, and they wouldn’t have burned through it as stupidly.

We'll see.

The Irish Times' Washington correspondent Suzanne Lynch interviews former CIA boss, John Brennan in today's paper.

Brennan refuses to announce for whom he will be voting but does say: " I do believe that Trump is going to go down in defeat and it's going to be a rather clear defeat. I believe Donald Trump is very much an aberration."

He tells Suzanne Lynch that in an interview with the CIA he told them he had once voted for a communist candidate. He points out that his detractors on the right continue to use it against him.
