Now, with other Republican leaders, Mr. Trump is mounting an aggressive campaign to reduce the number of Americans who vote and the number of ballots that are counted. It is an intolerable assault on the very foundations of the American experiment in government by the people.

The lesson of the last four years is that Donald Trump cannot solve the nation’s pressing problems because he is the nation’s most pressing problem. His ruinous tenure has gravely damaged the United States at home and around the world. The next four years would be worse.

One takeaway from the Barrett hearings is that SCOTUS nominees who are not credibly accused of engaging in sexual misconduct do not get questioned about sexual misconduct. Whereas those who have, do.

Biden can win all the electoral votes and it won't matter unless Democrats control 51 Senate seats. That's the ball game. And it ought to be shaping the way he campaigns down the stretch.

Not to minimize the presidential election, but the only way we're going to see another round of federal aid for people in desperate need is if Democrats also win the Senate.

Maybe it's good that there's no kill switch on Pence's microphone. He's choosing how to behave, and voters can decide what they make of it.

I died when Pence said that the Trump administration makes policy on the basis of science. This account is now operating on the Herman Cain model.
