Whole Hog Politics: Does Trump Not Know or Not Care How Bad Things Are for the GOP? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Democrats have never had it so good. The incumbent Republican president is wildly unpopular. President Trump is almost 18 points worse in his average net approval rating than he was at this point in his first term, and that was the year Democrats had their best midterm since the Watergate era. One assumes that the resumption of hostilities with Iran, a conflict that has turned into a strategic and political trap for the administration, is the main cause of the most recent polling swoon. But he a
Democrats Still Suffering from Bernie Burnout (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) may not have accomplished very much in terms of policy in 35 years in Congress and two presidential runs, but Democrats are very much living in a party that is the creation of the independent senator from Vermont. As members of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) Rules and Bylaws Committee gathered last week in Washington, D.C., to set their 2028 presidential calendar, there’s no sign that Sanders’s name was ever publicly mentioned.

GOP Faces Real Danger in Voter Enthusiasm Gap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s halfway through the summer, and despite the midterm curse that has hammered the party with the White House in all but three midterms since the Civil War, Republicans are looking a lot better than expected. The best evidence: The generic ballot is pretty well tied, even though the incumbent president is underwater with voters. Many race watchers are starting to wonder if the administration’s happy talk about a truly competitive general election may be more than just spin. The party out of po
Lindsey Graham, Noble Roman (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A lot of people want to be powerful. Very few people, as it turns out, are willing to do the things necessary to have power. This is, generally speaking, a good thing. Perhaps the greatest protection against tyranny is that being a tyrant sounds like an awful lot of work. And even if you work hard and get lucky enough to actually get there, it’s tricky keeping your spot. As Julius Caesar bled out on the floor of the Curia of Pompey, he probably thought, “Why didn’t I stay on the other side of th
