A huge constituency, such as Hispanics, is not 100 percent Democratic.

Donald Trump's temperament and character is precisely what you would hate to see in your children, much less your president.

Democratic institutions, even in the oldest operating democracy in the world, are anything but perfect.

I got in journalism for any number of reasons, not least because it's so much fun. Journalism should be in the business of putting pressure on power, finding out the truth, of shining a light on injustice, of, when appropriate, being amusing and entertaining - it's a complicated and varied beast, journalism.

Donald Trump seems to think it is within his rights to trample the First Amendment, to disdain the press, to punish protesters or flag-burners, to ban ethnic categories of immigrants, and so on.

I have to always remember, writing is really hard.

As journalists, we need to find every avenue to distribute our work, and try to be so good that we become increasingly more influential than before.
