I hope the Clinton campaign eventually settles on Daffy Donald for their Trump nickname. It's accurate, it's alliterative, and it lends itself to sorely-needed duckface and Scrooge McDuck jokes.

"The only specific I have heard is Glass-Steagall, which makes very little change in the finance system. I think he gets a pass from the media. Other than Glass-Steagall, what did he propose in 2009 and 2010 when he was a senator when we were dealing with this? The answer is nothing. Why haven’t you looked at his record?" Why are all of Bernie's proposals hollow? Is he ignorant or pretending to be? Is either case desirable?

The runoff for the presidential election is tomorrow. One of the candidates had a huge cotton company and was friends with the current president until they fell out, his company was nationalized, and he fled the country for three years after being charged with attempting to poison said president. He was eventually pardoned. The other candidate, the chosen successor of the current president, is half French and spent most of his life working in France. Because the one-drop rule works in reverse here, he’s universally considered white, and most debate has revolved around that. Either he’s an outsider who understands the world and isn’t bound by local corruption, or he’s a neocolonialist, ignorant of the country and seeking to reestablish France’s grip. That’s the long form. For most people, the central issue of the campaign is whether white=good or white=bad. It's an important one.
