No, it will be because Biden confirmed the worst fears about his age/health in that "bad debate" to all reasonable people and then refused to do the obvious thing and step aside so that a more qualified Dem could take the fight to Trump.

Am obviously just one of many many reporters getting their phones blown up by elite Dems in positions of influence, power, money freaking the fuck out tonight. All I’ll say before pivoting to writing copy is this is Not the usual bed wetting, Biden should step aside fan fic. Tonight was different

I am going to say it again - blaming all of this on money is going to keep progressives and leftists from learning lessons from all of Bowman’s unforced errors. Once you are elected you have to recognize that you’re a Democratic insider, and that your constituents are Democrats. AOC is good at this!

Putting the Ten Commandments in schools is a culture-war play, not a way to effectively get kids to be more respectful of religion. (As an aside: The ROI on motivational posters in schools seems low in general.)

The narrow margin between Biden and Trump among Black voters at the moment is far less about a big Trump gain than it is softness for Biden. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is an excellent description of the editorial failure behind The NY Times' decision to run Alina Chan's lab leak article. What's the value proposition to the readership of presenting a one-sided argument that most scientists find lacking? Did no editor bother to ask that question?

Every Democratic consultant and politician should ask themselves "how would FOX behave if Biden were convicted of 34 felonies" and do that.

Thanks for that link. I just find YouGov's particularly interesting because some people actually do go geocaching, or fly a helicopter, or get married, but it's a tiny percentage. And some people, sadly, didn't talk to anybody over the weekend. Very different from "choose disagree" etc.

Is there any explanation somewhere of exactly how the YouGov panel uses these? I'm in it (in addition to being a public opinion researcher) and find their use of this pretty fascinating.

For those keeping score at home, 22% of the justices with lifetime Supreme Court appointments had a partner who either (a) texted the White House supporting the insurrection or (b) flew a flag supporting the insurrection outside their house. What would you say if you saw it in another country?

The main contention today from the conservative justices is that we should worry more about the harm/threat of politically-motivated prosecutions of ex-presidents than of presidents criminally abusing their power. It’s just an insanely naive, ahistorical understanding of how political power works.

i think the best way to understand the supreme court's conduct in trump v. united states is as an explicit effort to intervene in the 2024 election on behalf of the former president. it is a gross abuse of power on par with dred scott and deserves to be met with sanction from the elected branches.

McConnell justified not voting to convict Trump for actions that he said was Trump was accountable for, because he said other mechanisms of accountability would take of it.

Not making a prediction, but 7 more months of: "I guess the economy is pretty good" "Oh yeah, Trump is a lunatic, I kinda forgot" "We really shouldn't outlaw abortion" And we could end up with a result that looks a lot like 2020. It's still a toss-up, but this seems more possible than ever.

One… difficulty, error, whatever you want to call it… in both coverage and perceptions is that Trump’s a kind of fixed constant. The reality is one of spiraling escalation. He has been and still is radicalizing exponentially. He’s a lot more extreme than he was, and will be a lot more by November.

1) It’s illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. 2) One very strong incentive for them to comply is fear that detection will lead to removal. 3) Those who would have us think mass illegal voting goes on anyway bear the burden of proving that. 4) They haven’t done so.
