I don't think I could ever love someone with whom I fundamentally disagreed, politically.

Most men I know adore women, and I am including gay men. I think studies on jury selection show that the biggest critics of women - people less likely to trust their character or judgment - are women.

Nationalism and patriotism are two sides of the same coin, and the most nationalistic / patriotic country in the last 300 years was Germany during the Third Reich.

I think Trump is simply inept, incapable of rescuing himself.

I always love it when a small paper wins. When I was growing up in the Bronx, the editor of the Riverdale Press - a neighborhood rag - kept submitting his columns for a Pulitzer. We laughed and laughed at his ego. He finally won.

An editorial writer might consult a reporter to see what she thinks, if it is what she covers. But they are entirely independent.
