Yesterday would have been a good day to do some political blogging. Unfortunately, I was busy working on the imminent launch of our new site for the Washington Monthly, including the digital version of our new June/July/August issue of the magazine.
I’m tired now. Too tired to write anything good.
I do want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on winning the Democratic nomination. I think we should all take a moment to reflect on the milestone that was reached here, with this country having a woman as the presidential nominee of a major party for the first time ever.
In a way, Clinton made this seem natural and almost inevitable, but that shouldn’t detract from its novelty or the progress it represents.
She sure got gifted with a hell of an opponent in Donald Trump, didn’t she? What a wreck that dude is!
The distinction between the left and the right in this country could not be more stark tonight. Watching Fox News is a strange experience. It’s like watching people do commentary at their own funerals.
