Kevin Drum on the Democratic Primary
Kevin Drum offers a nice summary of the Democratic primary as it winds down on Mother Jones. Hillary Clinton won a majority of the pledged delegates, a majority of the superdelegates, and a majority of the popular vote. If you can't stand her regardless, that's fine, but a clear majority of Democrats preferred her to Bernie Sanders. Nothing rigged, nothing corrupt, … [Read more...] about Kevin Drum on the Democratic Primary

Endorsing Trump will leave a mark
WASHINGTON -- Bluffing is Donald Trump's one great talent, and he brazenly bluffed his way to the Republican nomination. Now he is showing his cards, however, and they are utter garbage: racism, ignorance, capriciousness, egomania and general unfitness for office. That should be -- it must be -- a losing hand.
