      Democrats’ populist bargain looks familiar to Republicans | David M. Drucker

        “Oh no, not us — not ever.” For 10 years running, that’s been the Democratic response to any suggestion that grassroots liberals are like Republican voters and equally susceptible to supporting scandal-plagued populists like President Donald Trump.

                            James Carville famously penned the phrase “It’s the economy stupid” during Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign against George H.W. Bush. This year expect to hear variations on the theme, including - “It’s the war stupid”; “It’s the Iran MOU stupid”; “It’s the tariffs stupid”; “It’s the infl…

                            A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.

                            Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                            The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.

In the opinion piece, she argues the budget failed to address concerns about school vouchers and immigration-related spending despite including other investments she supported.
