It is heartening to see that some Republicans are coming around.

 

Remember when the 2012 Republican candidate, that earned 1.1% more of the vote than Trump, rightfully voted to impeach. Now if only McConnell, Sasse, Graham, Rubio, Cruz, et al had any decency.

Biden's lead has now eclipsed Obama's in '08 and '12 and is the largest since Clinton's blowout over Dole in '96. It's roughly double Clinton's advantage at this point in '16.

 

Obviously there's far too much time left before November (can we just vote now?) but this is a cool chart and very encouraging. 

 

Also look at '72. Holy crap.

Two presidential candidates two political parties, two conventions with vastly different virus responses.

 

GOP:  Cry me a river over NC using caution, picks up their ball and moves a full scale convention to Florida

Dem:  Recognizes the safety concerns of large mass gatherings and downsizes their convention

 

Tell me which one you trust to handle the virus going forward :dunno

Organizers upended the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday as they told state delegations not to travel to Milwaukee, moved the convention to a smaller venue and added satellite events around the country.

But even as Democrats downsize their convention – in contrast to what Republicans are doing – they say former Vice President Joe Biden will still formally accept the nomination in Milwaukee.

"Vice President Biden intends to proudly accept his party's nomination in Milwaukee and take the next step forward towards making Donald Trump a one-term president," Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon said in a statement. "The city of Milwaukee has been an incredible partner and we are committed to highlighting Wisconsin as a key battleground state at our convention this August."

Jon Stewart on Biden. Worth your time. 

 

 

I really miss Jon Stewart. Sure he was a comedian who attacked the right far more than the left. But he was also a thinker. Someone who had a good mind and understood humanity. It seems like lots of these satirists were great thinkers. He makes a great point about how people who have experienced tragedy have a humility about them. To understand and empathize with others is something we should want in a leader. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any random tragedy that Trump has had to endure. While that is a great thing for him personally, it has handicapped his personality.
