I'd love to see Bernie Sanders as VP, but I will refrain from holding my breath. Eliz. Warren at Treasury? No. It will probably be some investment banker, let's face…

Nate Silver's 538 has the tonic you need to untwist your panties. The notion that divisive primaries are detrimental makes intuitive sense: Candidates attack one another, dividing the party and…

• I don't support gay people. I don't support people of color. I don't support women. I am purist/wild-eyed zealot. I hate Hillary Clinton as a person. I adopt Republican criticism of Clinton uncritically. I am ignorant of Bernie's flaws as a candidate. I love Trump. I want Trump to win.

Did you notice how easy it was for Copeland to pivot from hating Trump to loving him? A while back Josh Marshall dissected the #nevertrump mindset and sketched a path by which Establishment Republicans like Charlie Copeland could come to love for Trump quickly and completely. He began by asking about the basic policy differences someone like Copeland might have with Trump. There aren't many because Trump is essentially a doctrinaire Republican, only more so.

I've been called a purist. I've been ridiculed for cleaving to corny old nonsense like "values" and "integrity." So I know where Clinton skeptics are coming from. But, I truly feel sorry for the nit wits, nutbags, and wild-eyed zealots who could be taken in by something like this.

Republican Donald Trump's presidential campaign is planning its next coup: vying for the votes of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) supporters who say they won't back Hillary Clinton in a general election. "You have two candidates in Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders which have reignited a group of people who have been disenfranchised and disappointed with the way Washington, D.C. and career politicians have run the country," campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told CNN on Friday.

The News Journal thinks Carper's song was sexist. I think he was his normal awkward self, although maybe even a little more uneasy around actual humans these days.

I tend to lump all recent US manufacturing killing "free trade" deals into one disgusting lump. Rep Kowalko admonishes us to pay attention to the singularly onerous TPP. Why aren’t…

He should be announcing that he is dropping out on the grounds that he is widely hated. But it will probably be to announce his bold proposal to prevent Trans people from ever going to the bathroom...ever under any circumstances. Or, his bold pick of the corpse of Margaret Thatcher as a running mate. Who knows. Cruz is a has been. Fuck that weirdo.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told reporters on Wednesday that he will make a "major announcement" in Indiana at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Hoping to keep the media spotlight focused on his longshot campaign to wrest the nomination from Trump after losses in Tuesday night's primary, Cruz told reporters on Wednesday morning that he hopes Indiana voters will back his "positive, optimistic, forward-looking, conservative campaign."

At some point early on in the primary season people around here picked sides. If they picked Hillary they quickly stopped viewing the race as a contest people people with policies and ideas, and viewed it as a race between the "Probable Nominee" (PN) and the "Trouble Maker." (TM) I don't blame anyone for this choice and the mindset that resulted from it. That lens is exactly how I would have viewed the race if I had picked Clinton, and trust me I was within a single micron of picking Clinton. Like the Clinton supporters here, I would have viewed any attack on the policies of the PN as a weakening the PN in the upcoming general election. I would have looked at TM with scorn and shut out his transparently liberal and Democratic message because it was not something that "helped" the PM in the long run. I would have had an a moral compass that narrowed my thinking to stark black and white and provoked venomous pronouncements that supporters of the TM were reading off of Mitch McConnell's play book. But that is all behind us now. Now the trouble maker can be viewed as a man named Bernie Sanders.
