We've had four whole years of stories about how much Trump's voters love him and Cillizza can't wrap his head around that.
The people who hate Trump and will hold their nose and vote for him aren't doing it because he'll "get things done", they'll do it because their continued strangehold on crucial aspects of our government depends on a Republican victory.
The people who are voting him in as a "change agent"... they're not the sort of people who make a tactical decision with a heavy heart. If they didn't vote for him because they love him, they love him because they voted for him. They're on his team (and, they think, vice-versa.)
Chris Cillizza gets paid a ridiculous amount of money to write this facile nonsense, which is why I'll never feel bad putting my tip jar forward. Support independent news commentary.

The expensive horse mounts from the zoologist in Terraria feel like bragging rights items - if you don't spend significant time terraforming/building roads, the cheaper and easier flamingo mount she sells is a better adventuring tool.
The horses might have a higher top speed and the ability to trample but you need a long flat surface to use those things. The flamingo is noticeably faster than walking with has good acceleration, swimming/buoyancy (summoning to get to the surface of the water can be a lifesaver)
I'm not saying don't buy a horse if it fits your aesthetic, but it's basically an expensive vanity mount, especially since the pylon network makes building roads kind of redundant by the time you qualify for a horse.

This is breathtaking in its scope, but I have to say I don't think Whistle Stop or Not in Nottingham fit on the table as placed. A case could be made for the latter based on the category description, but that's thin. Whistle Stop outsources introducing the movie to the visuals.
I suppose if you argue that the songs, as storytelling devices, are inextricable from their animated contexts, then it's not that Whistle Stop's scatted and hummed lyrics introduce the movie, but its spoken and animated sequence does.
...okay, after watching the video montage for "drug songs" I am convinced. This is taking not just the content of the lyrics and position within the film chronologically and narratively into account, but also visuals into account as part of the song's content.

Aaand Terraria has finished updating. Time to go see what's new!
Ooh, I like the new character creation and world generation interface, but my favorite change so far is that short swords can be aimed! They are slightly less completely useless!
The way just barely visible gleaming flecks of ore at the surface now tend to lead to giant veins makes the early days a LOT easier!
