SO CLOSE
It is the egregious but forgettable Mike Pence. Reports have it that late last night Trump was still trying to see whether he could get out of picking Pence. So I am free to imagine that it would have been Ivanka had he had the courage of his convictions.
In happier news, Bernie IS launching a permanent organisation!

Has everyone seen the article by Adam Gopnik in the current New Yorker destroying all the arguments of those who say that Trump is not a fascist?

Good article. Thanks, Tom.
ReplyDeleteSupposedly, before Trump came on stage to announce Pence, the people running the show were playing "You Can't Always Get What you Want"

So, perhaps Trump really did want to go your way, and was just pressured out of it.
