    We Americans could also do concrete things about child labor. Hell, we could pass the Child Labor Amendment to the Constitution, which is still out there and eligible for ratification, 96 years on!

    Today in Trump's America. I do however like the racist's son going on Twitter to publicly disavow the guy.

    We are also running up on 3 decades of "young conservatives support environmentalism" stories that never ever lead to anything concrete.

    The problem with these polls are the same with the polls that show unions are popular with white voters. Might be true, but a lot of these people aren't going to vote on the issue. Climate change or abortion, which is more important to the evangelical?

    I mean, these supposed sketchy people involved in such a conspiracy are Democratic insiders. How competent could they be? Have you seen the Democratic Party?

    The other thing about this is that many of the people in the political world are really dumb, from staffers to senators to consultants. Even if they wanted to pull this off, are they actually capable of it? Why are we determined there's this class of capable people ruling us?

    There's a guy on campus today canvassing for Michael Bennet to get him on the Rhode Island ballot. I have questions. Like, why? Are you actually volunteering for this guy? Can I have your Bennet '20 sweatshirt so I can wear it to future Halloween parties?

    As a historian, I believe in evidence and sober analysis, not wankery and conspiracy mongering. The evil in the world is clear enough to see without making up more evil.

    The real takeaways from this should be a) No caucuses ever again, b) no unproven technology in American elections

    The problems here are that a) this is far from the 1st time the Iowa Caucus has been a disaster, b) the real problem is technological fetishism in American life come true, c) total incompetence, and d) the deep desire people have for conspiracy theories in their lives.

    In retrospect, using BlackBoard to tabulate the Iowa results was a bad idea.

    Correct. This is when our nation's fetishization of technology really hurts our national fabric. But sure, let's let Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk influence policy debates....

    That the Yankees left Jeter at SS and force A-Rod, a far superior defensive player, to move to 3B, said a lot about how the team catered to its clearly inferior player.

    I guess now that Alan Trammell, who was a better player. is in the Hall of Fame after having to wait 25 years, it's not unreasonable to say that Jeter could get in after waiting 8 years or so.

    The idea that Derek Jeter, who might maybe be a top 10 shortstop in history but probably is slightly below that, should be a unanimous Hall of Famer and that it's outraged that 1 person disagreed, is super ridiculous.

    I hope it takes like 3 more days to get results from Iowa, just so the nation can finally come together over something and ban caucuses and maybe force Iowa to be the last state to vote for the next 200 years.

    I never understood conspiracy theories. Sheer incompetence always makes more sense.
