Trump's not going to change any minds tonight. Highlighting that foreign governments have tried to influence elections won't prove that he lost because of that. Watch him try to build an argument you can follow. Not his skill. Not does he stay on point. The convert will applaud, others will shrug.

Imagination is a very important part of being a historian. So I imagine Abraham Lincoln sending an angry tweet when he pocket-vetoed the Wade-Davis bill. But imagination has its limits. I can't.

Very considerate of President Trump to hurry back to Washington to speak while all his supporters from the Patriot Front were in town.

Ulysses S. Grant’s Road to Appomattox – 1865
Here's Professor Brooks D. Simpson delivering an outstanding presentation on Ulysses S. Grant's actions leading up to Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. The video's description reads, "Historian Brooks Simpson discussed Union General Grant's pursuit of Confederate General Lee's worn-down troops until final victory at Appomattox in April 1865. The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier in Petersburg, Virginia, hosted this event."

Texas Republican show an unhealthy obsession with Talarico's personal life ... but not Paxton's documented behavior. Lots of insecure males excited by urinating elephants.

When you say, "explain it to me like I am five," you confess your own limitations. That's not "explain it to me so I can understand it." You're five. You are not yet equipped to understand it. Waste of time to explain it to you.
