I’m mostly on writing these days, but I recently conducted my 250th interview for the Tom Hayden book. The source told me that he bro-ed out with him over Nashville Skyline after he got dumped. A lovesick Hayden especially related to “I Threw It All Away.”

Exactly. Trump is obviously a bit more cartoonish than your average rich person, but the last 10 years have reminded us that he's not different from many CEOs.

The left still has to do a better job of appealing to voters outside of cities and college towns. That's a real issue....However, it's insane to think that longtime Democratic consultants/pundits are experts on this issue.

Cable news pundits who are former consultants or politicians should be forced to have their campaign stats (margin of victories or defeats) while they talk.

The flimsy peace deal with Iran bought Trump some time, but it appears that the latest surge in gas prices + bad headlines about the war will hurt Trump more than any of his scandals.

Feel free to vent about the voters in private, but the last ten years have shown that blaming them for Trump only helps Dem leaders and consultants who want to keep their jobs
