Stuart Rothenberg: “If 2016 was a realignment, it was a shallow one. Yes, the Republican presidential nominee carried Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, but the margins were extremely narrow: just over 44,000 votes out of over 6 million cast in Pennsylvania and under 23,000 out of almost 3 million in Wisconsin.” “Still, realignments in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania (to say nothing about competitive states like Ohio and Iowa), particularly around cultural issues, could affect near-term elections, including next year’s midterms and the 2020 presidential election.” “Count me as skeptical that the statewide shifts in both states are large enough and long-lasting enough to constitute partisan realignments.

    "The big issue in '68, it turned out, was not Vietnam - it was law and order," says historian James Traub. And for Biden, "The electoral danger is [protesters] offending the much larger group of voters to Biden's right."

  • Hey Katy Tur: It's Called The Right Wing Echo Chamber, Not 'Media Silos'
    Crooks and Liars, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 09:11 AM

    MSNBC's Katy Tur and Axios' Jim VandeHei managed to have a very long conversation about the effects of right wing propaganda without ever mentioning the words right wing propaganda. I guess I should quit being astounded by stuff like this, but it continues to amaze me how people in our corporate news media dance around naming just who exactly is responsible for turning most Republicans' brains into mush.
