Andrew Sullivan’s argument opens with a rather long (in a very long piece) expatiation on how Buttgieg would appeal to coastal libs, seems to me reading his own reactions into the voters currently supporting Trump.

But his reactions never were typical, he being of an educated elite. Am I right? Wrong? Of a coastal sensibility, that is.

Lede of the week about finalists who block scoring with zest and fury:

MINNEAPOLIS—Twelve years ago at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, just a few miles from where the men’s Final Four is taking place, a bull broke loose. It charged about a block through the crowded grounds, miraculously missing all fairgoers. Then it lowered its head, took aim at a fire hydrant and rammed it, dying instantly.

No death in the afternoon in this case, or at night time either, however.

It’s not too early for recently elected alderman Andre Vasquez to begin planning for his next election, in which case he should save this Mark Brown article for use in his literature.
