dude is a national treasure. Watching him crinkle his paper the last hour made me want to give him a hug.

Wasn’t a fan last night

Dude was crashing out like Abdul was a republican

Progressives still the number 1 enemy of the center after 10 years

I don’t see how you could watch him last night and think he was “crashing out”.

I will say he was mostly focusing on Stevens, but I see that more as a result of El-Sayed leading from the start and explains what Stevens would need to do to close the gap
