How Can This Happen?

The Trump campaign built up a robust DC policy shop. But most everybody quit because paychecks never arrived and … well, some other reasons too like nobody cared what they thought. But can we go back to the paychecks never arrived?

Ok, I Admit It: I’m a Lauer Truther

The conventional wisdom has hardened to granite. Matt Lauer was the worst debate moderator in history. He was unprepared. He hammered Hillary and devoted too much time to emails. He let Trump lie like crazy without calling him to account at all. He probably threw the election, made Trump president and nudged us down the hill toward the apocalypse. I don’t agree. I don’t think he did great. I partly agree with the criticisms. But I think he did considerably better than people are giving him credit for.

Here’s my argument.

‘What is Aleppo?’

If you don’t think Donald Trump should be within 100 feet of the Oval Office but just can’t stomach Hillary Clinton, you have the alternative of voting for someone else who shouldn’t be within 100 feet of the Oval Office. Feel better?

But when I went back and read the transcript I felt the need to commune with the words to just absorb the full measure of crazy.

Pam Bondi Is Serious About Fundraising

Within days of hitting up Donald Trump for that $25,000, she delayed an execution so she could attend a campaign fundraiser. In her defense, she later apologized and promised to fight any further efforts to delay the condemned man’s execution.

Actually, I guess that’s not really a defense. But she did apologize.

Get Real, People

As Trump gets ready to speak again on national security, I want to return to a basic point. I’ve heard numerous people – people who should know better – claiming that Trump is either critiquing Clinton from the left or embracing a non-interventionist Realist foreign policy.

This is silly.
