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.

Trump Is Weak

 He's struggling to get past 60% as the de facto incumbent in the GOP primary. As Marshall notes, 60% is a great showing in a general election; it is quite weak as an incumbent in a primary. In fact, LBJ dropped out over something much less profound. 

Of course, I don't know if that 40% who refuse to vote for Trump will vote for Biden or simply not vote in November. We can hope that there's some significant erosion, especially as his legal woes mount.
