I’m trying to write the truth
Original Post: I’m trying to write the truth.
I was a pretender. In 2012, I pretended I believed Mitt Romney would win. But I knew better. I just didn’t have the heart to tell the truth to the volunteers banging doors and working call lists from our election office in South County. But I knew Romney would lose. I suspected the GOP would…

Trump knocks Rubio out of the news cycle
Original Post: Trump knocks Rubio out of the news cycle.
That was a strategic kill-shot, to borrow Scott Adams’s word. And it changes everything for conservatives.

Trump didn’t need to invent a brilliant new…

Original Post: How bad would Trump presidency be?.
The world is about to end. Or civil war is about to break out in Dayton, Ohio. Believe it? Glenn Beck, Erick Erickson, and other Republicans have convinced a lot of people that we are doomed if Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination.

A crushing defeat for Glenn Beck
Original Post: A crushing defeat for Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck was pretty sure that God killed Antonin Scalia so Ted Cruz would win the presidency. Glenn Beck’s theology is very different from mine. In 2010, I worried that Glenn Beck was doing more harm than good. For days, I’d watched Beck tell his watchers that the world was ending and they would be…

I bet Donald Trump reads my blog
Original Post: I bet Donald Trump reads my blog.
Donald Trump probably reads my blog first thing every day. Until today, I figured Donald Trump never heard of me. He’s never mentioned me in his tweet storms. He’s never called me an idiot or a liar during a debate. He’s never pointed to one of my many egregious typos and tweeted: (The guy has…
