A relatively strong performance doesn’t change the narrative.

“Across the Sky”

The President’s demand that Democrats shut up and rally behind him is going unheeded.

Democrats desperate for a different nominee are falling in line as the President refuses to go.

The slide continues.

The changes are minor but in the wrong direction for the guy who’s behind.

The far right won the first round. The far left won the second. It’s a mess.

Are the press out to get the President? Or abetting a coverup?

A second Trump presidency got much more likely last night.

“Windows to the Past”
