A short tribute to Juanita Castro from @albardach: “Among the bravest, gutsiest people I’ve known; who gave up privilege, family, country … just about everything – for some principles and a belief that Viva Cuba Libre should mean freedom.” https://t.co/cHTTQepCkL

I missed Kagan endorsing nullification of federal authority by states: ” States with Democratic governors and statehouses could refuse to recognize the authority of a tyrannical federal government. That is always an option in our federal system.” Huh? https://t.co/uoTjuHlX1P

Haley’s momentum may be easy to stop. The momentum in the press to boost her candidacy will be harder to arrest. Seems like Ball had a thesis (or assignment) pre-debate; rather than abandon it she strains to fit the discordant facts into crevices. I’ve been there. https://t.co/oAxsi1XpaT

Vivek hits on the word “authenticity” as Haley’s flaw. He should have stuck with that, and maybe not corruption. Still, an assault so over-the-top it had an impact.
