As someone who edited a story on his comments, I listened to them live. I read the transcript. Occam’s Razor: don’t overthink this. The real problem was that our president speaks in non-sequitur gibberish. There was no direct linguistic link btwn MS-13 and his “animal” remarks.

Awful lot of reporters screwed up re: Trump’s “animals” remark. It’s the result of a media climate that feeds on outrage and speed and re-tweets. But it’s also the result of Trump’s own history of using racially-charged language and the total erosion of any benefit of the doubt.

Woah. Roy Moore on George Soros: “No matter how much money he’s got, he’s still going to the same place that people who don’t recognize God and morality and accept his salvation are going. And that’s not a good place.” cc: @RJC @AriFleischer

Please Twitter, leave @maggieNYT alone. Trump lost the election, for God's sake. If Maggie had told you a little bit more before the election (she told you A LOT, btw), what, you think Trump would have lost ... twice?

Own it, Dan. The Democrats held together and voted no. They stopped the CR. If every Republican had voted yes, they still would have stopped the CR.

I feel like political journalism learned the wrong lesson in 2016. We’re bending over backwards to suggest that just maybe conventional wisdom is wrong and Republicans will hold Congress when I think the lesson of 2016 should be simpler: stop predicting either way.
