One other thing about last night’s debate…
…is that I think Ted Cruz showed his substance in terms of content and presidential caliber. It’s not easy to keep one’s dignity up there, but he did. Strong, resolute, consistent. Whether it will change any minds I haven’t a … Continue reading →
Reflections on the March 3 GOP debate: Trump’s ever-changing visa program, and plans as military leader
Many things happened during last night’s GOP debate. The level of debate discourse (can I use highfalutin words like “discourse” without being called a snobbishly out-of-touch member of the “elites”?) has fallen even further and we are now reduced to … Continue reading →
There’s a debate tonight
You can talk about it here. I’m only going to liveblog for a little while, because I’m in another time zone and I’m going out to dinner. Then I’ll come back late, and catch up. But from the beginning of … Continue reading →

Chris Christie…
…is slipping on Trump’s coattails. His already-low approval rating is even lower now: …[T]he governor’s endorsement of presidential candidate Donald Trump did not help him at home, possibly even driving more supporters to turn against him. The poll, which was … Continue reading →
Further post-Super Tuesday thoughts
My first thought is that this primary season has been a nightmare—but an interesting nightmare. My second is that if one more person writes that I don’t understand the anger driving Trump voters, I will scream (virtually, of course). Because … Continue reading →
Reflections on Super Tuesday
It certainly was clear even before today that Donald Trump was going to win a plurality in most of the states having primaries today, and that’s what has happened (even though all the results are not in yet). But my … Continue reading →
It’s Super Tuesday
[BUMPED UP] Not so very super in my book. Here’s a thread for discussing it, including your experiences if you’re voting today. I fully expect Donald Trump to do very very well. I fully expect his supporters to be ecstatic, … Continue reading →
