WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 04: U.S. President Donald Trump (R) references a map held by acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan while talking to reporters following a briefing from officials about Hurricane Dorian in the Oval Office at the White House September 04, 2019 in Washington, DC. The map was a forecast from August 29 and appears to have been altered by a black marker to extend the hurricane's range to include Alabama. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

HAMPTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE - MAY 13: Former Vice President and Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden speaks to voters in New Hampshire on May 13, 2019 in Hampton, New Hampshire. The former Vice President is scheduled to make three public stops in New Hampshire, his first visit to the state as a presidential candidate on Monday and Tuesday. In new data released Sunday from the key primary state of South Carolina, 46% of likely party primary voters say they are supporting Biden. The former Vice President has enjoyed an early surge in the polls since announcing his candidacy. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Dem insider: 'The inevitability of Joe Biden is over'

I’ve been loath to criticize Joe Biden for a couple of reasons: I like him, more or less. He has a certain avuncular charm, and he’s definitely not an evil guy. Maybe he's a little out of touch and backward-looking, but he’d be a marked improvement over Orange Palpatine. He could...

Now THAT'S how you debate, Nuit Deux

Well, here we are again. Sorry for the time delay, but I was tied up yesterday on personal business. But nothing in the intervening 24 hours has done anything to change my initial perceptions of what we saw Thursday night, especially where the peripheral characters are concerned. Thursday night fulfilled...

Joe Biden team makes big unforced error

Look, I am not a Joe Biden fan. There are many reasons for this. He is allowed to get away with things that many other politicians would not get away with (white male privilege or political insider or both?)  But I also realize he may be our nominee and I...

Joe Biden Planted His Flag Today,

Well, that was interesting. I get such a kick out of politicians these days, officially announcing their candidacy for something, making a bunch of speeches, and rally appearances, and then officially ”kicking off” their campaign a month later somewhere. It reminds me of high school, when the “homecoming” game was like the third home...

I believe that she can win – An endorsement of Elizabeth Warren's presidential bid

Today, I announce that I endorse Elizabeth Warren for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States! America needs a strong leader with strong political morals and support for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, and Elizabeth Warren is the strong progressive leader that America needs.

NM & TX-Sen: “There are only 4 Latino senators. Will more be joining them after 2020?”

We received some very big news in New Mexico yesterday: Rep. Ben Ray Luján plans to run for the Senate in New Mexico and is set to officially announce his candidacy Monday, according to two sources familiar with the Democrat’s decision. The seat opened after Democratic incumbent Tom Udall announced Monday he would not...

The Analysts Failed Badly In 2016, They Look Like They’re Going To Fail Again In 2020

In a 1991 James Fallows wrote a piece in the Atlantic trying to explain what exactly he found so obnoxious about the magazine, the Economist. To do this he related an anecdote about a government official going on to him about about he’d just read on Japan’s economic miracle. This book, he...

Poll: Every potential Democratic candidate would defeat Trump

It’s very, very, very early, but so far it’s hard to find a Democrat running for president (or considering a run) who wouldn’t defeat Donald Trump were the election held today. That’s according to Public Policy Polling’s latest survey, which reveals that Trump gets just 41 or 42 percent support no matter which...
