Barack Obama is a very impressive human being.

I never thought Hillary Clinton was a very good politician.

Everything on Twitter is true.

That's an important Obama accomplishment: he raised taxes back to Bill Clinton levels, and made a major dent in inequality doing so. That's certain to be reversed, that's going to disappear. The Republicans are going to slash the rich's taxes.

Trump was the logical outcome of the Republican's irrational, racialized backlash to Obama that had utterly come to dominate the party's thinking.

Liberals tend to romanticize the past, past leaders' failures.

I worry about the entire structure of American democracy under Trump.
