    TV note: The unchanging low-fi images we're seeing from the Senate floor are in stark contrast to the high production values of last night's SOTU. That's because Senate leadership would not allow independent news outlets, even C-Span, to cover the trial.

  3. I have no position on a natl primary, and you shouldn't care if I did, but: I could argue we have a first-round national primary already. It's conducted through polls, media coverage and debates, and this election it narrowed the field by more than half before Iowa.

  4. One more thing about the SOTU is how it fit this aesthetic of things that are a bunch of mismatched tones--maudlin/aggressive/sentimental/raucous--all at the same time. Think of a live sports event: military tributes and kisscams and prizes for kids and cheerleaders all together

  5. The SOTU's stunts played into the TV-sugar-daddy part of Trump's "Apprentice" persona; but now it comes with the context of everything that's happened since.

  6. I wrote about the SOTU, "an 'Apprentice' finale wrapped in an Oprah episode stuffed inside a viral YouTube video and dropped into the middle of a WrestleMania match."

    Whatever else you may think about President Trump, he is a wildly talented entertainer. Last night, he was alternately a reactionary Oprah, Dick Wolf for the Fox News set, and a master of kitsch:

  8. I *might* just be writing something about this at this moment.

  9. I'm going to say the part where he shaved Vince McMahon's head was a little much.

  10. Is there also going to be a promposal

  11. IIRC, each of Trump's SOTU speeches have had a "criminal aliens" section. Three guesses which part of the speech Stephen Miller wrote.

  12. Can't wait until every congressperson looks under their seat and finds out they're getting a car

  13. The news of Limbaugh's Congressional Medal of Freedom came out earlier today--presumably he knew about this, yes?

  14. This tone shift in the SOTU is like the negative part of a campaign ad where the scary music plays and the screen goes black and white

  15. Remember, it is the obligation of all fair observers to believe that a 73-year-old man, with a decades-long history of public behavior, who once said he hasn't changed since he was 7 years old, is a tabula rasa every time he makes a prepared annual speech.

  16. Rick Santorum is fighting the lonely fight on CNN of arguing that people will believe that Donald Trump has changed his character if he's calm off the TelePrompTer for an hour.

  18. (I'm not conspiracy-theorizing here! But it seems like the networks are trying to get this data dump on air ASAP without being sure they have the level of detail, like county-by-county %s, that they would have on a usual election night.)

  19. Both John King and Steve Kornacki have noted that the data on their maps shows 100% of the vote is in in various counties, but that they're not sure if that's correct. This does not wildly inspire confidence. (Not in them but in the amount/detail of data they've been given.)

  20. (Fox News graphic, meanwhile, says 58% of the vote in, though they're noting on air that it's actually 62%. Hoo boy.)
