Is Trump hurting GOP candidates?
At first glance, it doesn’t appear that way, as Trump-endorsed candidates mostly did well in GOP primaries. But those were only Republican base voters, who are still loyal to Trump. A deeper dive into polling of the general electorate suggests Trump is hurting the GOP’s November election[...]

Meet “Dark Brandon”

The rise of Dark Brandon
Nobody knows for sure where it came from, or who started it, and it’s even unclear who owns it. And it’s not as nuclear as “The Dark Knight Rises” (or the documents the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago). But it threatens to co-opt, and possibly even neuter, the rightwing “Bra[...]
