A lot of Republicans did abandon Trump after the Access Hollywood tape (which was much closer to the election) because they never liked him and they figured he'd never bounce back from that. Oops. But you're absolutely right, they're much more disciplined now than Dems are (and they need to be).

I'm not sure any president has been better on labor, which admittedly is a low bar. You could make a situational case for FDR, I guess, but in terms of where their actual sympathies lie? I don't think anyone is even close.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Well, this will save me the trouble of spelling out "TALK ABOUT PROJECT 2025 YOU DUMMIES" in an intricately choreographed drone light display outside the DNC and Biden campaign HQ. 'Cause if Trump saying this doesn't get the message across, nothing will.

I dunno. We're talking about it, and he doesn't seem like the type to be bothered by getting caught in a lie. The question in my mind is, was the NYT just incompetent (never a bad bet) or was that a deliberate choice on their part, too?

If they do have the wrong guy, he's in the same town of 8,000 people, and with approximately the same age (effectively ruling out a brother or son). And he registered JUST IN TIME for the 2000 election, too. God, if every Democrat had this commitment to voting, Biden would win 400 EVs.

What Gaiman himself admits to (sexual contact with a domestic employee he'd personally selected, on her first day) is so inherently shitty and predatory as to take us past the question of "wait, maybe he's a good guy underneath it all." Nope.

I watched a CCTV video where someone casually drove a car onto the tracks and strolled away. A few minutes later it got hit by a train. Eventually someone explained to me that it was very lazy, very dangerous insurance fraud. I guess the perception that trains run over cars all the time fuels that?

True, and what's more I don't know a single colleague who wouldn't talk a lawyer's ear off for the price of a catered lunch. That said, at this level, I find it hard to believe that the horrendously shoddy quality of the law-office history on display is unintentional.

I disagree. Setting aside the fact that he is an actual human being, it would have been a huge strategic mistake to try to get him to bully past his and his family's grief. A candidate that doesn't really want to be on the stump is absolutely going to lose, in this case to Clinton in the primary.

I backed John Edwards in '08, so as penance I won't claim to know what Dems should have done in '16. With Biden off the table, Clinton seemed inevitable, but that may also be because Clinton did an extremely good job of clearing the field for herself. Anyway, here we are.

I also don't care what Obama (or ANYONE!) thinks in this situation. But if either of them has 1% of the humanity we'd want to credit them withβmuch less the best-buds act they did in publicβthen the fact that Joe was grieving Beau's May 2015 death meant Obama could never have asked him to run.

When's the next working day in the Senate? The constitutional amendment fixing the POTUS-king problem would take about 30 seconds to draft. Sure they'd kill it, but at least they'd have the blood of an extremely popular policy on their hands.
