Unfinished Business

In an interview with ABC News, Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley said that Democrats “have to look to the future”.

“Incoherence” Is Not a Plan

Watching Donald Trump speak and answer questions, though, is like watching a billion targets appear in the sky all at once, for a political opponent. Each thing he says is so bizarre, or ill-informed, or demonstrably false, or un-presidential in tone or character, that it becomes impossible to know which target to lock on to or focus on. And to the extent that he makes a policy statement, it is so hopelessly vague and ludicrous that it’s impossible to know where to begin, at least within the context of the 30-second soundbite that the modern political consumer requires (and chances are, he will say something diametrically opposed to it before the press conference is over anyway).

Donald Trump is the political equivalent of chaff, a billion shiny objects all floating through the sky at once, ephemeral, practically without substance, serving almost exclusively to distract from more important things – yet nonetheless completely impossible to ignore.

Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.

In a matchup between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton…

Heard This One Before

Clinton campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said that when you’re asking about wiping servers, you’ve run out of “legitimate questions”.

Besides, wiping the server wasn’t planned, it was just a spontaneous demonstration.
