DAVID STROM: Love or Hate Trump, Candidate Selection Was a Problem – Again.
True. Though Talarico and El-Sayed shouldn’t have been able to win, and wouldn’t have just a few cycles ago. We need to look at the changed background that made that possible.

IT’S A GRIM DAY FOR THE NATION, BUT THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN. Trump has delivered a lot of results, but a lot of people just can’t stand him. He’s the reverse-Obama, who won on style points while delivering failure.
Well, it’s a democracy, the voters are allowed to choose badly, and I believe that this time they did. Republicans need to pick up some lessons and start working on 2028.

THE DONROE DOCTRINE IS MONROE WITH TEETH: Greenland Parliament Ratifies Security Deal Agreed With Trump.
A majority of lawmakers had already signalled support for the deal in a first debate last month.
Tuesday’s vote was 16 in favour and none against, with 7 abstentions.
The White House in January said Trump was discussing options for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the US military, alarming governments in Europe and triggering intense diplomatic efforts to calm the situation.
Greenlandic Foreign Minister Mute Egede said on Tuesday that ratification of the deal was an important step for the island.
“We must accept that peace and stability are no longer something we can take for granted,” Egede told lawmakers in Nuuk shortly before the vote.
