2020 presidential election

In the 1920s, conservatives were suspicious of-- and hysterical about-- rural electrification proposals... you know, "Socialism!!!" So President Franklin Roosevelt had to get the ball rolling with an executive order (May 11, 1935). At the time, just 3% of farms and ranches were electrified.

In 2016, Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes went to Trump. He bear Hillary in a fairly solid blue state 1,405,284 (47.22%) to 1,382,538 (46.45%). That's 22,746 votes. Participation in black neighborhoods in Milwaukee was way off. Voters didn't switch the Trump they just stayed home. What happened? Were people so sure Hillary would win that they didn't both to show up?

I'm not saying the ad helped Beshear, but it didn't hurt himDavid Wasserman presents himself-- and it widely accepted as-- as an elections expert and he does know more about it than most high school students.

Damage Control by Nancy OhanianWhy have a bunch of centrist assholes suddenly jumped into the Democratic presidential primary? Sure, they recognize Status Quo Joe is a terrible candidate, but each of them is as bad, if not worse.
