Harvard’s defense vs. Trump really shouldn’t have called itself “Crimson Courage.” Reeks of moral self-satisfaction. Even if you agree with them on everything, it doesn’t seem especially courageous what they’re doing-a point Harvard ex-President Faust tried to make, to no avail.

If there were any evidence that the younger Dem leaders would be any better than the aging leaders, it would be easier to care about this. https://t.co/JRVkiLzrkz

“But Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping didn’t have to worry about being surprised by Joe Biden.” Good point, but it goes beyond foreign policy. Was anybody, anywhere ever surprised by Biden–at least while he was president? https://t.co/kK3rUxMMGk

Obama’s “retire with dignity” pitch does not seem very effective. Has it ever worked? https://t.co/P85AlPVr6w

.@AnnCoulter notes @nycscribe ‘s NYT pleasing its anti-Trump readership with fan articles about how Kimmel “dismantled” Trump’s claims about South Africa (which he didn’t). Destroyed! Pwned! Proven way to avoid substance. NYT not any better than Twitchy. https://t.co/7mNYAWhhuZ

Has to be some truth to this motive (keep Biden Inc. alive), though Joe’s ego mostly seems sufficient explanation. Might have had a big impact on disastrous decision to run for a second term vs. retire with dignity. https://t.co/pEx559Idl3

Assignment desk: You’d think these returnees would have a big (favorable) economic and political impact on the countries they return to. Maybe not. Take it away @TheAtlantic. … OK, they won’t do it. (Might make deportation look good.) Anyone else? https://t.co/AXmaHsFGJX

Shorter: Trump went on All In, sucked up to them by saying a foolish thing that his base hated, and then didn’t do it. https://t.co/ulWKZhTG4C
