Democrats are telling voters that Donald Trump is an existential threat to the republic and must be defeated at any cost. So why isn’t she willing to court the voters who could help her defeat him?
At Home With the Whites
•
Another police shooting of a civilian with shifting narratives, another popular uprising, this time in Charlotte, North Carolina. Once again, white Americans are tsk-tsking that African-American rioters are making themselves look bad. The thing is, peaceful protests don’t attract national attention.

After more than a year of campaigning on her experience, competence, and measured realism, Hillary Clinton realizes that she may lose the election due to the lack of enthusiasm among her supporters. So now she’s on an inspiration-mongering tour.

Hillary Clinton won’t show her speeches. Donald Trump won’t release his taxes. Neither of them come forward about their health. What’s next in the secrecy obsessed world of American presidential candidates?
Basket of Deplorables
•
Hillary Clinton to keep, and apologized for, calling half of Donald Trump supporters “a basket of deplorables.” Setting aside the lousy optics of criticizing a quarter of the voters, what’s up with that weird phrase? What American would ever use it?
They Have So Much Due Process in Common
•
Rodrigo Duterte, President of the Philippines, is the villainous violent thug who campaigned on a promise to murder 100,000 criminals. He has already started on his program of genocide by having the police shoot hundreds of street-level drug dealers. Now he is scheduled to meet with Barack Obama, who plans to lecture him on human rights and extrajudicial killings. The problem is, Obama doesn’t have the moral authority to do so.
This is How Stupid Americans Are
•
Want to know exactly how stupid American voters are? For months, especially since he secured the Republican nomination, the media has been urging Donald Trump to stop saying nasty things and to start acting more presidential, like a normal presidential candidate. What if he agrees to do so? Should we forget all the nasty stuff that he said before? No matter what he does, everyone hears what they want to hear.
Hillary’s Big Media Dump
•
On the Friday before Labor Day weekend, the New York Times broke news that might have ended the candidacy of Hillary Clinton â if it had been released at a time when people might be paying attention. As it happens, the house organ of the Hillary Clinton campaign released a classic media dump that exposed her as corrupt and wallowing in criminal behavior. If a scandal falls in the woods, does it make a sound?
A Mandate for Nothing
•
Hillary Clinton is currently expecting a landslide victory over Donald Trump. Her lead so big the Democrats even have a decent chance of recapturing the Senate. But she hasn’t campaign on a single signature issue. There isn’t a single major program that she has pushed for. So what would she do with her mandate?
A Choice of Temperament
•
Clinton’s campaign is running a hard-hitting add reminiscent of the classic 1964 anti-Goldwater “Daisy” ad. Going after him based on his temperament, the ad implies that he might accidentally start a war because of his hot temper. Interestingly, the one quote that they emphasize is one that she would be very likely to agree with.
