Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Things Are Crazy

 So I'll just outsource the blog to Josh Marshall.

Basically this:

I keep hearing that we need to be worried about a more disciplined, saner version of Trump. I think this totally mistakes his political career. Those aren’t bugs. Those are features. The craziness is his power. No, him leaving the White House doesn’t make everything hunky dory again. But in electoral terms he accentuates things, shifts things in some ways that are unique to him.
