Extremely good point

The first step to good election punditry and academic election research, which must be accepted at the outset or else good work is impossible, is that the median voting block is nothing like you. Your personal intuitions do not offer good guidance.

Live updates: Hunter Biden found guilty of lying during gun purchasewww.washingtonpost.com Hunter Biden was convicted on three felony charges related to a gun purchase in 2018.

Biden’s statement upon his son’s conviction is more or less everything you could hope it would be. I’ve had my criticisms of him as a President but one shouldn’t forget the difference with the institution-scorning rule-of-law foe Trump is very stark. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
