I live in a solidly blue district-- CA-28. The PVI is D+23. Hillary whipped Trump here 72.1% to 22.3%. Some of the country's most Democratic bastions are in the district: Hollywood (plus East and West Hollywood), Silverlake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Atwater, Glendale, Sunland-Tujunga... I have no idea where that 22.3% could possibly be. La Crescenta Montrose? La Cañada Flintridge?
Earlier this morning, we looked at the mad house the White House has become since Putin installed Señor Trump in the Oval Office, the most brilliant foreign policy coup in Russian history-- and certainly the worst non-violent attack on America ever.

Robert Mueller by Nancy OhanianRight-wing propagandist Dennis Prager and I were born a few months apart and we lived near each other in Brooklyn.

In their post Wednesday morning about what to look for in the debate Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns of the NY Times suggested watching to see if Trump torches his own party. Sounded like fun to me.
Remember the bright red "Keep Calm It Won't Be Trump" memes floating around the internet as recently as two weeks ago? No more. Geoff Garin, head of Hart Research polled 160 political insiders about who they expected to see win the Republican nomination. Way back in October, 8% had chosen Herr Trumpf. Now 59% say the GOP nominee will be Herr.
Trump has shot to the top of the GOP polls without spending much money. He hasn't done a single broadcast or cable ad-- not nationally, not in Iowa, not in New Hampshire, not in South Carolina-- but he's #1 nationally, #1 in Iowa, #1 in New Hampshire and #1 in South Carolina, and by a lot. Jeb Bush, on the other hand, has seen his approval among Republican voters sink lower and lower and lower.
