Outside the Beltway

If the Democrats win back the White House in November, it’ll be no thanks to men.

The state of American debate is not strong.

Because sometimes a comment starts to become a post.

The Economist gives Joe Biden an 83% chance to win the Electoral College.

Trump should be worried.

The vagaries of our Presidential election mechanism gave us a surprising result in 2016. That’s unlikely this year.

If the goal is to change politics, not just vent frustration, messaging is important.

Outside agitators, including white supremacist groups, are shaping public perception of the George Floyd protests.

Former prosecutors are suddenly “out.”

Every Democratic woman seems to be under consideration.

Presidents have appointed loyalists since time immemorial. Has this one gone too far?

We won’t have whatshisname to kick around any more.

Biden’s polling lead over Trump is historically stable.

He’s doubling down on hypocrisy.

The Tara Reade allegations haven’t hurt the presumptive nominee with the party.

Another allegation of Biden misbehavior that is another category altogether.

And a broader discussion of the ongoing Tara Reade story.

We need a better vocabulary for treating the spectrum between rude and horrific.

The presumptive Democratic nominee says, “They aren’t true. This never happened.”

The erstwhile Tea Party Republican is making a run for President.

These are serious allegations.

And some notes on Trump’s media exposure.

Some potentially good news for Biden,

It’s about damned time.

Thoughts on Biden’s low profile and Trump’s daily exposure.

Things are not looking good.

Especially for Joe Biden.

Dan Drezner makes an interesting comparison.

The 58-year-old may have a post-presidency unmatched in history.

A much-needed call for unity.

Who knew?

A progressive idea that could win conservative support.

Sanders supporters need to get on the bus.

He has ended his bid for the Democratic nomination.

Thomas Modly, the acting Secretary of the Navy, has embarrassed himself and must go.

Some internal cracks in terms of continuing?

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

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

It’s time to end this thing.

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.

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

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