I think Twitter is becoming remarkably intolerant and heavily liberal. As in, anything that is perceived as being "pro Trump" is scolded and mocked.

People roll their eyes at the idea of Kanye West running for president. I do not.

Assuming he wins his primary easily, and continues to push back when Donald Trump goes over the line, I think Paul Ryan is well positioned to run in 2020 if Trump loses.

Mike Pence is the hardest one to guess in 2020 as a leader, because I don't know if he is seen as the heir to the Donald Trump political movement or ig being the heir is a good thing.

I think the desire to reject elites, to retreat within more comfortable geographic and personal borders and to lash out at political correctness is not a phenomenon unique to Britain or the US.

No one who has followed politics for the last decade thinking about August like quiet month for politics. There are no more quiet times or slow periods. None. Which, frankly, makes it a very good time to be a political writer.

I do think that even if the average person doesn't care, it IS a big deal. Like, it's been a foundational principle of our democracy for 240 years.
