They [Republicans] assume that military action always shows strength, while avoiding military action always shows weakness. That's just crazy.

Betsy DeVos, for example, has shown that she’s flatly ignorant of an astounding amount of basic education policy. It might be possible to persuade two or three Republicans to oppose her on these grounds - but only if the entire confirmation process isn’t a pure partisan battle.

[Donald] Trump had the opportunity to go after [Hillary] Clinton's emails at length if he wanted to, but he didn't.

Apparently the Republican base got radicalized first, and Democrats picked up the ball later. Or something.

In any case, to the extent that the media is dedicated to exposing lies and reporting the truth, it is indeed the opposition party to people like Bannon.

Marco Rubio turns a question about missing Senate votes into an attack on the mainstream media.

Republican voters already hated Democrats so much that [Bill] Clinton and [Barack] Obama didn't really have much impact.
