The Beto Diaries…
I awoke woke and went for a run. It was 5:30 a.m., and I stepped gingerly down the steps of my Capitol Hill townhouse in the early morning darkness. Once I hit the pavement, I tightened my laces a final time. Then I adjusted my new Bluetooth headphones and hit play on an obscure, experimental […]

It’s Bernie, Bitch…
This dandy little bit of self-plagiarism is from three years ago, when I attended a painfully nerdy and shamefully self-congratulatory event to “Draft Warren” into the presidential primary.

What ‘Lanes’ Will the 2020 Democratic Candidates Run In?…
Recent Democratic presidential nominating contests have been relatively simple. The 2000 (Gore versus Bradley) and 2016 (Clinton versus Sanders) primary battles were almost entirely two-candidate affairs. 2008 quickly devolved to a two-candidate fight between Obama and Clinton by the end of January. The 2004 competition was all but over after John Kerry won both Iowa […]
The Godfather…
Left-wing activists smash windows with bats to protest conservative speakers. They burn property and threaten opponents in public, violently lashing out at individuals for holding conservative views. It’s 2019, but could be mistaken for 1969. That’s no accident, observers of history say. The roots of disorder go back to a style of agitation and organization […]
