Outside the Beltway

In a sane world, Joe Biden’s election win would not have come as a surprise. Alas . . . .

The President’s message is getting through.

” . . . to a second Trump Administration.” Get it?

Revisiting predictions about what would happen if what has happened happened.

A tale so bizarre it is hard to believe it is real.

A nonpartisan official is refusing to do her duty.

While many are congratulating President-Elect Biden, too many are still following a loser.

Governing without Congress has its price.

“Now this campaign is over, what is the will of the people? What is our mandate?”

All the major outlets are finally acknowledging the obvious.

A reminder that narratives are narratives and data are data.

We have a President-Elect.

Hopefully, we can finally declare a President-Elect today.

The early reaction was premature.

The lies aren’t working anymore.

We’ve just had an election, not psychoanalysis.

He needs one more state to hit the magic 270.

Her Democratic opponent has conceded.

Biden inches closer to 270.

10 more Electoral votes.

Last night amplifies a long pattern.

The picture is becoming clearer.

A lot to think about, not a lot of conclusions.

We may be a little closer to ending the tyranny of the Electoral College.

It’ll be days before we know the final 2020 results but a resounding repudiation is unlikely.

Monmuth’s latest.

The man is unwell.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!

Trump needs them both.

Some thoughts on voter enthusiasm and EV scenarios.

Trump has pulled ahead in some individual polls but Biden continues to have a commanding lead.

Just when you thought the 2020 campaign couldn’t go any lower.

The ongoing pathetic attempt to create a scandal around Hunter Biden.

Will he be a uniter or a divider?

The iconoclastic journalist is out at the publication he founded.

Fear of a reprise of 2016 is still with us.

Up is down. Down is up.

The stakes of losing will be catastrophic. Either way.

Usually candidates don’t talk about how bad things are across the country while appealing to be re-elected.

The state polling is not lining up along usual patterns.

Chuck Schumer and company sent a signal to their base against a fait accompli.

Less Trumpy Trump still Trump.

Same endless song, different verse.

Election Day is increasingly a myth.

Some surprising poll numbers.

A Blue Wave still looks quite likely.

It turns out, he wasn’t hacked. (Spoiler: They’re never hacked.)

After weeks of evasion, the frontrunner hints at a compromise policy.

Instead of a second presidential debate, we got competing TV shows.

Rudy Giuliani and a hack tabloid are trying to revive the Burisma story.
