Breaking news: Immediately following Greg Dworkin’s exposé on New Jersey’s county-line ballots, the New Jersey Legislature announced a redesign!
Yep, it is one of those Wednesdays after one of those Tuesdays. Did Donald Trump lose? Is Trump losing? Is there some small sign somewhere that he might lose? Let us not assume too much from polling at this time, because, well, when we assume… But! Just a few of those sweet, sweet Haley voters and...
Remember when Mike Pence’s affirmation was good as gold? This time no “endorsement” for Donald! Sure, “support”, of course, support, but Mike isn’t going to go overboard here.
