This is about agriculture, but is broadly true of everything.

Karma for the racist chants and team name?

I have no idea who else would think about running, but criticizing the war in Iran early seems like a real option for these potential candidates.

Obama in '08 is the obviously corollary and you'd think anyone thinking about running should be strategic enough to think about this. Obama benefited from not being in the Senate for the Iraq vote, but he was able to leverage that to win a large faction in the party.

If you stick close to Trump and his agenda, what is your case for why you and not Vance? The war in Iran seems like a pretty obvious opportunity for this. Vance and Rubio own this thing. If it goes how we all think it will and is a public opinion disaster, this could be an opportunity.

I've been thinking about this and I'm not sure I can articulate it right. If you are a Republican thinking about running for president, you have to be able to make a case that you are better than Vance and Rubio (sounds like a low bar, but you have to convince Republican voters).

Sure, there's a lot of other good news today, and it is only spring training, but the Twins beat the Yankees 15-0. We have to celebrate this.

Kristi Noem walks into a bar and orders a beer. Bartender takes one look at her and says "Hey lady, why the wrong face?"

Some reporter is going to follow Noem after she leaves the stage to see her reaction when she finds out, right?

Between the button and bringing a new blankie for Noem, this guy did some epic trolling.

To be fair, Hohmann is terrible at his job and the only reason he isn’t widely ridiculed is that he mostly writes unsigned WaPo editorials.

I not usually one to complement my institution, but Iowa State has, so far, done this right. We put two real experts in charge of our civics center. They are doing good work trying to improve civic engagement on campus in a non-ideological way.
