Donald Trump does not have the power to make you stupid. That's your choice.

Also, the case for nominating Vance is built upon the crucial electoral role of the Rust Belt, which will cease to be the case after 2030. He's uniquely unsuited to run a Sun Belt-focused campaign.

One of the reasons David French's column hit so off-key is because Talarico doesn't pass a Voight-Kampff Test. He's not a real human being, let alone a "decent" one. You can't watch video of him and think he's an actual dude.

Talarico, 2022: Reducing meat consumption is a moral imperative and existential to save the planet. Talarico Campaign Response: Look at our guy immorally wolfing down all that meat while k*lling the planet. This is representative of what the entire campaign will be: Attempting to construct an image that is at odds with the his past positions and rhetoric.

@baseballcrank Rube also had a very brief semi-pro football career, which I detail in “Eckie: Walter Eckersall and the Rise of Chicago Sports.” Jan. 1, 1909. Rube’s lone appearance in a pro football game turned out to be Eckie’s (a charter @cfbhall member) last football game, ever.

Between August 7 & September 6, 1904, Rube Waddell struck out 101 batters in a single month. All other American league pitchers in 1904 averaged 3.9 K per 9 IP.

Conservatives unhappy with Reagan's actions would say he was being betrayed by his staff. Their slogan: "Let Reagan Be Reagan." Now, Trumpies upset with the war are basically saying that Trump is betraying Trump. Their rallying cry could be: "Trump, Let Trump Be Trump!"

Reaganism exists - long after there is no such thing as, say, Bushism - because it's a legible, coherent philosophy. Trumpism will exist as long as Trump is in power, but its survival after that will involve a lot of heated contention over what it means beyond the man himself.
Varad Mehta@varadmehta

We're debating whether Reaganism still has a place in the Republican Party in the year 2026, and Ronald Reagan has been dead now longer than he'd been out of office when he died. But Trumpism is over when Trump is still president?!?! WTAF?!?!
