WAPO: Trump taps his doctor to replace Shulkin at VA, choosing personal chemistry over traditional qualifications.

 

 

Flashback, NYT: The Aspiring Novelist Who Became Obama’s Foreign-Policy Guru — How Ben Rhodes rewrote the rules of diplomacy for the digital age.

 

 

 

It’s almost as though there’s one set of standards for inexperienced Republican appointees, and a completely different set for Democrats.

 

Correct. And they leave out the fact Robby's record (across administrations) is flawless... Whereas Shulkin is a corrupt POS.

If what he was doing was in opposition to the free market, it's the best argument against government planning in the whole history of ever.

In the wake of my Roseanne article I've been contacted by multiple people at ABC who've told me there's a real discomfort among many of the employees with the propagandist nature of the reboot and a feeling that the project is meant to monetize Trump's base.

Roseanne's sin is not portraying the caricature of the Trump voter the media wants to see.

It would take a lot for NBC to redeem itself for the past years of political, racial and religious tilt but Jesus Christ Superstar which is airing now is a pretty darned good production.

DAILY TRACKING POLL: Trump Hits 50% Approval. Only 49% disapprove.

 

Plus: “Trump’s overall job approval rating is now running ahead of where Barack Obama’s was at this stage of his presidency.”

 

Weird, you’d never guess that from watching the news.

I am skeptical of polls in general after the past 24 months, but if that's accurate it's mighty impressive considering the media coverage (as you alluded to) has been 95% negative versus how positive/hyped the coverage was of 44's first year.

Polls are rigged in favour of non-conservative clients.  The questions asked and process of choosing whom they ask tilt it.

 

And conservatives are learning, one by one, to never talk to pollsters, or tell them "undecided".

Rasmussen has always leaned right so it's not surprising.  It's an outlier.  FWIW, IBD/TIPP was the most accurate in the 2016 election.  Polls are just a snapshot in time though so it's pointless to even pay attention to them until election time.

Rassmussen doesn't lean right, it uses a different polling strategy.  They only poll likely voters.

That's true, but if I remember correctly they only use landlines which tend to under represent younger, poorer, and more urban voters.  I remember wondering why Rasmussen always had Obama rated lower than every other polling company.
