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.

Being freaked out doesn't mean you can fix what you perceive to be the problem.

Veep is the best and most realistic political TV show out there.

Where we are in politics is running down whatever doesn't agree with you.

I am not sure we are going to see Republican Members endorsing Hillary Clinton. I think we will see plenty say they can't vote for Donald Trump. That doesn't mean they vote for her. They could either not vote, vote for the Libertarian ticket or write someone in.

Nothing makes me crazier than the "you gave us Trump" argument based on Hillary Clinton's emails. I didn't set up the private server. I didn't advise her to be decidedly cryptic about the whole thing. I didn't tell the FBI to investigate.

Big moments like the Olympics tend to freeze things in place. It's just very hard to break through the news cycle with peoples's eyes on the Olympics. That's even more true with the concerns about Zika and terrorism.
