When Charles Evans Hughes ran for president in 1916, a politically ally of Woodrow Wilson's wrote a lengthy pamphlet arguing that Hughes was ineligible because his father was a British national at the time of Hughes' birth on US soil in 1862. That ally went on to notoriety ...
That ally of Woodrow Wilson's went on to serve in the US State Department during the Franklin Roosevelt administration where he implacably resisted issuing emergency visas to Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany and Austria. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art…
You can read Long's pamphle here. It didn't stop Republicans from nominating Hughes in 1916. Nor would it have stopped Hughes from becoming president if Hughes had won California's electoral votes. highlanderjuan.com/wp-content/upl…

Donald Trump's fourth year in office was the most catastrophic final year of any president since Herbert Hoover's in 1932.

Joe Biden's fourth year in office is the most secure and prosperous since - when? Ronald Reagan's in 1984? Calvin Coolidge's in 1924?
Republicans are selling nostalgia for one of the worst years in US economic history.

Democrats cannot sell satisfaction with one of the best years in US economic history.
Trump wants credit for the economy he inherited - but no blame for the economy he bequeathed. The Trump economic record is like the Trump business record: "Rich until the inheritance ran out."

Some have asked whether I wrote all or part of last night's piece in advance. Answer: No. My method when I write about something set for a fixed time (SOTU address, etc.) is to try to blank my mind beforehand, so I can see without preconceptions. (thread)theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Yesterday, for example, I walked the dogs, went for a two-hour bike ride through Ontario countryside, and read a lot of Doug Irwin's history of US trade and tariffs. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…
The danger is that the eye will see only what it is prepared to see. If you hope to observe an event as it happens, just as it happens, you have to unprepare the eye.

"Donald Trump tried to overthrow an election by violence."

That's old news, we already reported that.

"As president, Donald Trump directed tens of millions of tax dollars to his own pockets."

Old news.

(cont'd)
"Russian intelligence helped elect Trump by illegal means. Trump welcomed the help."

Russia, Russia.

"He was proven in court to have raped a woman."

Civil proceeding, not criminal - and sexual assault, not rape. Besides ... old news.

(cont'd)
"Two dozen other women say Trump attacked them. There's literally a recording of him boasting about it!"

Old news, we litigated all that in 2016.

"There's new news just unsealed about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein!"

Salacious gossip, beneath our editorial standards.

A word to everybody writing, "The Democrats have nobody to blame but themselves" takes ...
The fundamental reason we're in this crisis this morning is that the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Reagan is about to nominate for president a dictator-loving criminal against the Constitution. That disgrace and shame is theirs.
If President Biden had posted an equally poor performance against presumptive GOP nominee Nikki Haley, then in that case yes, the Democrats would have nobody to blame but themselves - too bad for them, but the Constitution would not be in danger.
