What's funny is the two examples people love to cite of this particular Green Lantern theory, the ACA and gay marriage, were the exact opposite. The ACA became popular because of concrete benefits not messaging. Gay marriage was about cultural and generational change not some speech Obama gave.

Does he really think nobody has said "Trump is bad!" in the last 10 years? I get why it might be smart presidential politics but it's pretty untethered from reality

The Trump administration is "willing to not just slash and burn research that challenges their political ideology but to replace it with shoddy studies designed to support their goals, under the guise of scientific legitimacy," @katherinejwu.com writes.

Reminder Schumer was right, Trump is getting the blame for the economy, litigation is going well, and Elon is giving up rather than being able to supercharge his efforts:

There's a fun chapter in Rick Perlstein's Nixonland where in '69 Nixon realizes to his horror that all of LBJ's economic problems are now his and he freaks out and starts screaming about Jewish grocers causing inflation, then US Steel rases the "sheet price" and Dick really hit's the roof.

Wrongly deporting people was never popular! This is not a case of Van Hollen -who is from a very blue state anyway- leading and shifting public opinion. The "no compromise with the electorate, we know best!" take so popular on this website is not especially vindicated by this case.

The losing candidates in 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, and 1996 were more popular than the winners in any of the three most recent elections — parties used to try to be liked.

This terrible budget bill with trillions in additional debt and trillions in Medicaid cuts continues to fly dangerously below the radar IMO — though I did see lots of good signs at 50501 protests. www.slowboring.com/p/dont-ignor...

So I guess we are getting a "modified limited Entering Bexhill" as the deportation strategy? (cruelty and illegalness and brutality but done for the cameras in giant expensive photo ops not on a real mass scale)

I think it's more that Trump's rivals in the GOP are constantly underestimate his sort of low cunning and he's quite good at out maneuvering them, see how he got Rubio out of the Senate and saddled him with ugly tasks and will probably fire him by the end of the year.

No, it's because Chuck is a United States Senator* and Bill is a semi-retired pundit guy. *for better or worse the Senate does function as old boys club, that's the nature of the institution.

Good thread (I'd add that hubris is a major theme of Trump the person and Trump 2.0, see how they had all the Ivies lined up to cave one by one but then overreached with Harvard and now the fight is on (and Harvard is now fundraising off of it!))
