I don't know whether the Cheneys will impact the election, because I'm not sure how much this is cart and how much it is horse, but I am heartened that either Deep GOP (and Dick Cheney is deep, deep) are trying to steer the party back from Trumpism or they believe there is about to be a power...

I am surprised by the question, particularly aimed at a Republican. Few balk at the idea of having a plan to make medicine or gasoline or housing more affordable, because it seems like fantastic piles of money are being made in those industries, but ain't nobody getting rich off of child care...

He said that the government is going to have so much money from taxing foreign nations that they are going to pay for child care for people who are not able to tax foreign nations, right? No. His answer is clear enough and perfectly Trumpian. The answer is "Who care about child care?"

https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-21-02-0138-0002 Before getting to the specifics of his own scandal (which are interesting if you are curious) Alexander Hamilton discusses in 1797 about how people repeat lies even after they've been debunked because people might forget the...

She is married, employed, and not running for office.

I am sure Putin wants Trump back just to help stabilize the world.

You must be talking about the distant future! Somehow I thought we were talking about things settling down in my lifetime.

They'd for sure fill every vacancy from their own side, but why waste the opportunity to double down harder when it is the other side? Both houses of Congress and the President would all have to agree to close the vacancy. All of them are gonna be okay with that? Not in this age. If they...

It sounds like you are down for expanding? Where are we on that? I saw a few weeks ago where a Republican Congressman said Kamala had said she would expand the court and I couldn't find that it was true. I know some bills have floated out, but you really can't get too excited about something...

Walz proudly boasts he's in "the pocket" of unions in Labor Day remarks From CNN's Aaron Pellish in Milwaukee Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Pool Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz proudly boasted his ties to organized labor at a union event in Milwaukee on Monday, celebrating Labor Day by declaring himself in...

The Supreme Court mostly just agreed that delaying the case would be helpful.

Effective at what? At winning election, yes I think so. I don't have the proof in my hands yet, but I think the Trump thing has lost its effectiveness at winning an election. Trump definitely has openly racist and xenophobic supporters. He definitely has conspiracy nut supporters. Some of...

All true, yes. But someone could do one without the other.

The point is that they have to believe the politician cares about them. Trump doesn't care about them. But he makes them feel like he does. Someone else can.

You can wait them out if you want. There are less and less Boomers every year. I'm really not saying they need to be heard. I'm saying they need to feel seen. That's if you want to turn some of them. It's not easy. I'm not the guy for the job.

You can't build a wall.

Trump tapped very well and very hard into a nerve on millions of white men who feel like they are getting replaced. And no "leader" had had the guts to say the things that they'd been feeling for a long time. They know he has done things he shouldn't have done, but until someone else makes...

This isn't an untested proposal. Trump had a slight majority in the Senate and a slight majority in the House for the first half. He vetoed 9 resolutions, which are largely meaningless. Congress giving a public opinion and the President saying he disagrees. He vetoed ONE bill, a regulation...

Happily, I think neither of us will get to prove it to the other.

Newest polling moves North Carolina from likely Red to a tossup and moves New Mexico from tossup to likely Blue. Trump campaign insists that a bump after the convention is normal and nothing they need to worry about, but really there is no reason for Trump to go up and there is no reason for...
