Ralph Northam apparently hopes to dance past a scandal — and a disgrace — that has his party and his critics resoundingly urging him to resign. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“When you look into a baby’s eyes, you don’t see the hatred and the bigotry that we saw come to Charlottesville yesterday,” Northam said in 2017. “Where does it come from? Who taught these people?” Maybe Northam can find answers in his own yearbook: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump get to play act at being outraged by Northam’s behavior: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

The scandal sheet that aided and abetted President Trump’s ascent picked the wrong man to try to bully. My column on Jeff Bezos and the National Enquirer: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“In other words, AMI warned, we are threatening to make use of your private property, Jeff, in order to stop your inquiry into how we got our hands on your private property.”

Well, President Trump is flat-out lying in this moment from his ‘Face the Nation’ interview:

“First of all, Roger Stone didn't work on the campaign, except way way at the beginning long before we're talking about.”

cbsnews.com/news/transcrip…
Roger Stone was all over the Trump campaign, and not just “way at the beginning.” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Mueller’s indictment of Stone shows Stone played a central role distributing stolen DNC emails and damaging information information about Clinton — in conjunction with Trump’s campaign team — during the very latest stages of the 2016 presidential race: July to October, 2016.

Very little of what President Trump is laying out here is true. He operated the Trump Foundation like a grift for three decades and that's why it was dissolved. And there's still a NYS AG lawsuit pending that will adjudicate all of this. The fact pattern: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
The president housed the Trump Foundation in Trump Tower. It had no dedicated office space or staff. It was a mailing address. So of course he took "NO fees, rent, salaries, etc." There were no salaries or rent to pay. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
But no need to believe me. Read @Fahrenthold on the topic: pulitzer.org/winners/david-…

1. Nate Silver looked out this morning over the field of more than 20 Dem candidates who are vying for the party’s nomination and began chewing off his fingernails. He’s concerned the Dems will make the same mistake the GOP made when a madman ran down candidates to win the nom.
2. NS: The crowded field ... doesn’t necessarily imply that an anti-establishment candidate will prevail. Even when party elites don’t get their first choice, they usually get someone they can live with. But the high number ... does imply a higher-than-usual risk of chaos.

This is a good point. Reviving cities like Cleveland, Youngstown, St. Louis, etc., as well as uncountable small cities most people haven't heard of, is still a more important task than making San Francisco more affordable.

We all know that single-family zoning is bad for affordability...

1. What is there to say about Tulsi Gabbard now that her campaign appears to be falling apart? I mean, other than the fact that she’s disorganized, undisciplined and toxic? Two things: the importance of party and the role of rhetoric in political careers.
2. Gabbard’s campaign manager and consulting firm are planning to quit after the campaign formally launches this weekend, according to Politico’s Daniel Strauss and Alex Thompson. Those are ill omens for a campaign that’s barely begun.
3. Moreover, they report, Gabbard is indecisive as well as impulsive. A terrible combo. In preparation for her announcement, she made staffers work through the holidays only to reconsider their efforts.
