Sorry so light today. Alligators. What can you do with them?
"The Commerce Department has reached its apex of dysfunction under Wilbur Ross, according to four people with knowledge of the inner workings of the department. The 81-year-old Commerce secretary, who has for months endured whispers that he is on the outs, spends much of his time at the White House to try to retain President Donald Trump’s favor, the sources said, leaving his department adrift… 'Because he tends to fall asleep in meetings, they try not to put him in a position where that could happen so they’re very careful and conscious about how they schedule certain meetings,' said the former outside adviser. 'There’s a small window where he’s able to focus and pay attention and not fall asleep.'" Of course according to the public relations people, "'Secretary Ross is a tireless worker who is the sole decision-maker at the department,' said Commerce press secretary Kevin Manning."

"If the Dems blow this election it will not be because they were 'too far left on policy' or because they 'weren't left enough.' It will have little to do with policy at all. They are making a mistake caused by traditional consultant theory that does not apply here…" A twitter thread which states a lot of what I have been thinking. (Grokked from Joy Reid)
