@kaitlancollins Isn't it the House of Representatives, as host of the event who does the inviting? They invite the president to speak on the State of the Union at a particular time and date and arrange for the joint session. It is not the president's event to control invitations to the floor.
@NormOrnstein ah, that's cute, Norm.
Can't virtually every NFL team in every season pick out a couple plays and say if not for those plays they would have two more wins?
@davidfrum Just talking in general now...if people are leaving employment at one company for another, isn't that an indication that they would...rather work for that other person? Asking for a friend.
@patrickdmarley Don't we have primary elections to see who the best candidate from a party is? I'm not sure why someone running would say, 'yeah, I thought I would be a good candidate and make a good governor, but it is clear X is superior' until they lose a primary.
@DanRShafer Appreciate this analysis, Dan! I do think Gov. Evers' threat to veto a budget that would not have certain elements warrants a mention, as well as his earlier publicized exasperation over R recalcitrance on spending increases. Great negotiation? Nah, but pieces of the puzzle.
@journalsentinel "ESPN writers explain why the Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton has the NBA Finals' best player. And why the odds are against it." Huh? Write English much MJS?
@DanRShafer And not just conceding, but saying the numbers aren't there, and that his folks have to accept it isn't their day. This is how it's done in a democracy, lest we forget.
@RoryStewartUK That's basically Alexander Hamilton's idea in Federalist #17, not presented there as a desirable normative trait but as an empirical fact of how humans think.
