Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Another powerful example is the incredible success of the New Deal political economy framework in creating a much stronger democracy.

      The Democrats lost two Congressional House elections from 1930-1994. Two. That's it.

      There are always lots of factors that go into political outcomes but a near total discount of the impact of policy on people's lives is odd.

      Read this piece for a great narrative on how the New Deal framework created much more regional equality.http://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/novdec-2015/bloom-and-bust/ …

      Political journalists have a really hard time covering this intersection for some reason. Maybe it's editors. Perhaps habit.

      For instance whenever you watch a debate, questions from voters are almost always policy related, but journalists often ask horse race Qs.

      Not always true, of course. There are many great political journalists and there is a place for horse race coverage. Personalities matter.

      It just seems like policy is often a really big deal. Like Clinton released an autism plan. That's important. I want to know about it.

      I think the assumption is bc Hillary has policy and Trump has none* there's no need to evaluate what Hillary's policy is.

      *Of course that's not quite right: Trump has infrastructure investment and protectionism on top of his racism & policing.

      But add it to the growing list of things that won't get scrutiny in the scramble to prevent a Trump presidency.

          Trump is tough to cover b/c his policies change daily.

          Not the infrastructure investment and protectionism. They've been consistent.

          Not really. Trump first said he'd slap a 35% tariff on China, then denied it.

          But it's never gotten scrutiny. A good example was Gene Sperling's convention video on how the gov't shouldn't print money.

          A basic job of the Fed/Treasury is to print or destroy money. It basically happens daily. Printing $$ is in the Constitution!
