Outside the Beltway

The US Presidential election pits “two evils” who are “against life.”

Alan Dershowitz is trying to make up his mind.

These people are frustrating.

Donald Trump fared considerably worse against a cogent opponent.

The Secretary of the Navy supports the man who hired him. Who knew?

Better to be a down ballot D.

Harris appears to be getting a post-convention bounce while Trump and Vance stay classy.

A Republican columnist is angry that Trump, not Harris, is being seen as the incumbent.

His former National Security Advisor is not impressed.

The sitting Vice President isn’t getting blamed for the economy.

The talk show pioneer is gone at 88.

Or maybe a gift certificate to some online poli sci courses?

A surreal Democratic National Convention.

His rants about the new race are unhelpful but not unfounded.

What? He’s undisciplined?

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

Democrats suddenly have multiple paths to victory.

He’s not taking his change in fortunes very well.

What Trump and many supporters get wrong about Kamala Harris

Unpacking J. D. Vance’s bad PR instincts

Trump was in an emergency landing in 1990, just with another politician

A third (and hopefully final) post on the matter.

That’s not a rhetorical question.

Some additional (and longwinded) perspective.

Expect an appeal and a long wait

A clash of possibilities.

There’s something for everyone in the post-debate surveys.

But the story will continue for a while yet.

A relatively strong performance doesn’t change the narrative.

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

The slide continues.

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

More polling that contradicts the panic.

The big interview did little to ease doubts that he’s up to another four years.

The Replace Biden bandwagon continues rolling. Evidence is mounting that he needs to get on it.

The President is going all-in to undo the damage from the debate.

Sounds dramatic, but not very convincing.
