Who’s violating norms these days?

DEMOCRATS: September 25, 2020 Norms, we are told, matter. Violating norms, recklessly disregarding norms — these are charges on which President Donald Trump is often arraigned in the court of public opinion. THE INDICTMENT starts with his annoying habit of inventing insulting nicknames for his opponents and critics. You can add to the list as you will and perhaps come up with enough names...
Biden-Harris/Trump-Pence race ‘tightening’
Michael Barone 08/15/2020 - 5:36pm
2020 ELECTION: August 14, 2020 Just as Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his vice presidential nominee, and a week before the Democrats’ virtual national convention is scheduled to begin at various sites, the basement strategy he’s been pursuing, hailed as the political equivalent of “The Emperor’s New Clothes,”...

BIDEN CAMPAIGN: August 7, 2020 If the presidential nominating process is the weakest part of our political system — and, perhaps not coincidentally, one not referenced by the founders — the vice presidential selection process comes solidly in second place.

Trump opponent’s worst traits are Trump’s fault
Michael Barone 07/20/2020 - 12:54pm
MEDIA BIAS: July 17, 2020 You could say it’s all Donald Trump’s fault. His bad qualities — his carelessness about facts, his obstinance about admitting error, his contempt for others’ views — have turned out to be contagious, to the point that you could argue they’re more damaging to his opponents than to him...
Behind the media’s breathtakingly dishonest coverage
Michael Barone 07/13/2020 - 11:16am
MEDIA BIAS: July 10, 2020 “I don’t think I’ve ever seen such dishonest and biased coverage of any event.” That was Brit Hume, who has been covering events for more than 50 years for Fox News, ABC News and investigative reporter Jack Anderson.  THE EVENT, as you may have guessed, was President Donald Trump’s...
