For crying out loud 72% of Democrats say NAFTA is "good for U.S." and @bernie is criticizing @joebiden for supporting it? Should be the other way around! (FYI @scottlincicome) pewresearch.org/fact-tank/20…

Goal of NK denuclearization w/o accounting, timetable, & verification meaningless; “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula” code for ending US commitment to SK. Best to avoid all this and opt for limited steps by NK, limited sanctions relief, clear US/SK red lines – at Delaware, USA

Trump administration considers engagement with North Korea wise but confrontation -- some even say regime change-- with Iran necessary. Why 2 completely different strategies to achieve the same goal of denuclearization?

If Ivanka REALLY believed this, she would support a 100% inheritance tax.
Ivanka Trump goes after Ocasio-Cortez policies in Fox News Interview: "People want to work for what they get. So, I think that this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people want."

Here's Susan Collins in September, saying Brett Kavanaugh would respect precedent by upholding Roe v. Wade, despite his entire career indicating he that wouldn't.

Roger Stone is the 6th associate of @realDonaldTrump to get indicted.
Republicans and Trump like to talk about running government like a business.
I simply note that any CEO of a company who has had 6 of his associates indicted would have resigned or been fired by now.
