The minority vote is growing, which is part of the alarm of so many Republicans and why Trump constantly whipped up their alarm with his racist statements.

Prediction is a low form of journalism.

I don't know that Donald Trump is anything more to Putin than what Lenin called a poleznye durak, a useful idiot.

You are losing out because Mexican rapists are taking your job.

The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away, that's when this stuff comes.

My deep sense of alarm has to do with Donald Trump's seeming lack of fealty to constitutionalism.
