Opening Act: Ely

ELY, Nev. – On the schedule: A long drive to Clark County through two-lane desert roads. Friday, basically. Molly Ball has the best of the 1,348 Trump stories. I choose to read Jackie Gingrich Cushman’s new column metaphorically.
Greg Sargent on Romney and the poor.
Gingrich among the drunks.
Pahrump, land of the Paulians.
And Manu Raju on the intra-Republican argument: Why have an agenda?
