   I'm staying out of this but there's an important political point here: Barack Obama was partly insulated from these blackness litmus tests, however undeserved, because of the presence of Michelle Obama and two black children. https://t.co/KkE5tRaDUp

   The Trump mystique has been based on fear and faith — fear of immigrant hordes swarming the borders and faith that Trump “alone can fix it.” The failure of his shutdown dealt another mighty blow to both illusions. My @PostOpinions column: https://t.co/LpSGx7vvqo

    Both Republicans & Democrats have whispered “Willie Brown” to me in recent weeks when the subject of Harris’ run has come up. That’ll hurt her, they say. My analysis: The attack will backfire in a Dem primary for obvious reasons and won’t influence swing voters in a general. https://t.co/3AGbBfpy65
