Admit it, you had no idea the Kamala Harris candidacy would be this popular. Her campaign announced it has raised $540 million since Joe Biden bowed out, which works out to about $100 million a week. Now you know why Trump is jealous.

Trump is running scared, all right. Now he’s making noises about backing out of the one debate both have agreed to. He’s gone from unrivaled to unraveled.

Harris’ ascendency seems to have brought about a sea change in Democratic attitudes. As Rick Perlstein notes, they’re no longer running away from their own agenda. It helps, of course, that Republicans are proudly trumpeting their plan to return to the 19th century, unaware of its unpopularity.

The rich are different from you and me – they file lawsuits with abandon. Some Rehoboth Beach residents are suing the city commissioners over what they say is an overly generous contract awarded to the new city manager. He gets a $250,000 annual salary, plus $50,000 in moving expenses and a $750,000 home loan that will be forgiven in full if he stays for seven years. Who says public service doesn’t pay?

The floor’s yours.
