Yep. Right now a candidate like Charlie Baker would win the presidential election in an absolute landslide and would simultaneously be demolished in a red state primary to someone who ran on a creationist climate change denial platform.

Yep. The two most popular governors in the country are Republicans in blue states. Showing that the message of limited fiscal interference and social liberalism is what the majority of Americans want; but we let a few million crazies in Iowa and NH decide who will be the nominee every few years.

How do you pull that off without sounding incredibly condescending?

I would assume there are a lot of poor students (who are probably disproportionately minority) who might not have access to transportation once they turn 18, but do have access to school buses. I have no idea how widespread (or not) that is, but I don't see a negative to allowing...

Has anyone defended the other provisions of the law, like shortening early voting periods, preventing pre-registration of 16 and 17 year olds etc.? Because while I think reasonable people can disagree about the propriety of requiring a photo ID to vote as a means of combating fraud that may or...

Thor. He's pretty good.

Can't wait!!

There are two potential things to sue on: (1) invasion of privacy (like Hulk Hogan), but that's a very high bar for a public figure; or (2) defamation/libel, but the truth is an absolute defense to those claims, so NE's lawyers would get a chance to ask a ton of questions that I assume Cruz, or...

No, the senate already did what was done to Estrada to Obama's Court of Appeals appointees. That's why the senate went with the "nuclear option".
