Outside the Beltway

He is actually tweeting about ratings.

Comparing South Korea to the US tells a lot about the failure of leadership in the US.

Exactly the opposite of what we need in a crisis.

The Constitution in times of extreme crisis.

This isn’t what leadership looks like.

Trump’s approach from the beginning has been reality-denying. It makes it difficult to take anything the administration proposed seriously.

The President seems to be enjoying a mild rally effect.

Even amidst a national crisis, he refuses to do the right thing.

Finally.

The President tweeted, “We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.”

We may be in a national crisis but it’s still politics as usual in Washington.

The man is a moron.

Some on Twitter (yes, I know) seem concerned, but is this even a good question?

How do we balance societal and individual rights during a pandemic?

An ongoing missed opportunity to lead by example.

An example of the contrast (Narcissist-in-chief IV).

Richard Burr, Jim Inhofe, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler should go to jail.

Two members of the House have tested positive.

It’s time to end this thing.

It is hard not to see this as a politically driven move.

This could be a very long series.

Why the ‘moral majority’ is willing to tolerate so much immorality from their leader.

An encouraging sign.

The race is over but Bernie’s still running.

Looking back at my predictions about the 2020 Democratic race.

He’s a long way from 1991 delegates but no one can beat him.

There’s very little upside.

We may be seeing the beginning of the end.

The former VP is focused on beating Bernie Sanders but his team is looking ahead.

The Democratic wagons continue to circle around Biden.

Maybe it’s time to stop joking about senile politicians and do something about the issue.

These decisions should be made by professionals.

This is no way to run a railroad.

He’s repelling the people he needs to mount a comeback.

Nate Silver now gives Biden an 87% chance of winning the nomination outright.

It doesn’t look like the Progressive wing is uniting any time soon.

Is being ruled by the elderly a bad thing?

There’s nothing to see here, folks.

The inevitable has happened.

Women didn’t vote for her either. But that doesn’t mean sexism didn’t play a role in her loss.

A quick follow-up.

The wagons have been circled.

The races are more alike—and yet more different—than we seem to remember.

Four highly-qualified (and two less-qualified) women ran and lost in 2020.

She lost in both of her home states. She shouldn’t be embarrassed.

Not a great night for the former New York major. But he still has $54.5 billion to comfort him.

A bad night for Bloomberg and Warren has radically reshaped the race.
