  • Three thoughts:

    • A 3-4 point “slim” lead is absurd as we watch Trump light the country, our savings, and future generations’ financial stability on fire.
    • I don’t pretend to know what will happen this fall but “disappointed” seems like the correct left-leaning calibration since 2016.
    • I am so sick of right-biased political minority rule in this country. Since 2000 have we at any time had a presidency, senate, and House that were all controlled by the party that got the most votes in a given election?


  • Pretty standard kabuki politics.

    Tillis and Cassidy are retiring or lost their primary. The rest of the “rifts” are barely disagreements, from Ted Cruz and Nikki Haley - effectively “I’m so upset with Trump I’m not going to cup the balls for the next five minutes.”

    For the rest, I’m sure they’re very upset behind closed doors, which is great for them because they can get all that aggression out before going on Fox News and telling the world it’s the best deal of the century and Trump is a master negotiator.
