#GOPSoWhite: This year, Jamelle Bouie writes, the Republican Party completes its half-century-long turn toward whiteness, as Latinos join black voters in abandoning ship. (It can’t help that Donald Trump is spending the last weeks of the election systematically assailing the legitimacy of black voting.)
25 years: It’s tempting to feel despair at the fact that it’s been a quarter-century since Anita Hill testified against Clarence Thomas, and we are still dealing with predatory sexual harassment from men in power. But Dahlia Lithwick thinks we should take heart: This time around, the outrage has been “nearly universal and instantaneous.”
Would you rather: If Donald Trump were running against Dick Cheney, who would you vote for? Jim Newell and Jeremy Stahl debate a heartburn-inducing hypothetical.
Poor sport: Why does Trump hate the Alec Baldwin SNL impression of himself so much? He was fine with previous iterations, but this one makes him look like too much of a loser, Willa Paskin argues.
Hillary and me: Katherine Bell writes about two landmark events of her freshman year in college, and the lessons Hillary Clinton has taught her.
For fun: Trump-Clinton Debate Parody #313 is a good one.
Mahna mahna,
