Publius Tacitus — Trump Was Right, The Election Was Rigged

What Americans should be concerned with rather than Russiagate regarding the corrupting of the political process and thereby American "democracy," such as it is.

At this point I will defer judgement until Brazile addresses the discrepancies between her account and documents that are available in the public domain. That is precisely what Sen. Warren should have done as well.

Simon Radford — Hillary is running a Remain campaign. She needs to change track – or she’ll lose.

American voters, like many who opted for Leave in the UK's EU referendum, are angry and want change. The Democrats will lose if they offer a message of continuity.

The Democratic Party is apparently tone deaf. 

I have seen some recommending that Hillary with to a more populist message. The problem for Hillary is that she cannot credibly pivot at this point. Her record is too long and too consistent as a neoliberal and liberal interventionist.

The Force is not with her.

Janet Alton — Ben Carson Lets Drop That Sarah Palin Is on Trump's VP Short List

The Donald's Veep short list includes the following names: John Kasich, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Sarah Palin.

“Those are all people on our list,” Dr. Carson, who is on Trump vice-presidential search committee, told a Washington Post reporter on Sunday morning.

He was given ample opportunity to retract that last name. He didn't. He and his wife Candy also assured the reporter that he had taken himself off the list, despite reports of a new poll indicating that he would be a popular choice.

The short list makes good political sense. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz mentioned owing to the Latin vote. John Kasich and Chris Christie for the GOP establishment. Sarah Palin for the Tea Party vote. Cruz and Palin also for the religious right.

The problem with all of them though is that they are losers, and Trump likes to identify with winners. Palin was already on a losing ticket with McCain, and the rest on the list just lost to Trump in the primaries. Carson, too, for that matter.

Steven Rosenfeld — No One Thought It Was Possible: 12 Ways the Sanders Revolution Has Transformed Politics

When Bernie Sanders launched his presidential campaign a year ago with a brazen call for American revolution in politics, economics and social justice, no-one—not even the candidate himself—could have imagined what the still-fighting campaign would bring.

“The media likes to portray this as a fair fight on even footing,” campaign manager Jeff Weaver said last week. “They seem to forget that when we started our campaign on April 30, we barely registered in the polls. We didn’t have a political organization. We didn’t have millionaires waiting in the wings. Quite frankly, we didn’t have a whole lot. And then millions of people came together in a political revolution.”…
