From The Reporter’s Notebook
Trump targeted a new Fox News host on Monday night, attacking Bill O’Reilly for inviting guests onto his show who were critical of the real estate mogul. But according to TPM’s Caitlin MacNeal, Trump couldn’t help but work in a jab at Fox’s Megyn Kelly. He retweeted a supporter’s tweet criticizing Kelly, adding, “She is the worst – all anti-Trump! Terrible show.”
Agree or Disagree?
Ed Kilgore writes that the “once-gripping saga” of failed candidate Scott Walker taking on Wisconsin’s public-employee unions “lost its galvanizing force.… The wild music and manic gyrations of the contest are just beyond his capacity, leaving him drifting into irrelevance as a failed demagogue.”
Say What?!
“We should not have a multicultural society. When you create pockets of isolation, and in some cases, the assimilation process has been retarded, it’s wrong. It limits people’s aspirations.”
– Jeb Bush is worried that the U.S. is “creeping towards multiculturalism.”
BUZZING: Today in the Hive
From a TPM Prime member: “Folks, the regulatory burden for a drug or medical device is NEVER satisfied. It is an ongoing daily slog that costs a lot of time and money. A business delivering less that a million dollars cannot cover the costs in any way makes it a going concern. Even at $10M, it isn’t worth the capital investment. Products aren’t magic things that you set up and they pop out the other side in bottles on the pharmacists shelves. I spent the majority of my career in tech, a $10M product line would have never been kept going without some real up for future upside. With the necessary, important and valuable overheads of FDA oversight and regulation, $10M is a marginal business at best.”
