@Hyde_Michael98 @aufgehendeRest I think listing Korsgaard is better than listing kant.. because you are taking a stance on who brings kant into the 20th, 21st century. What's the best way to think of kant today.

@AJentleson@NateSilver538 Wasn't McConnell at odds with Trump sporadically throughout '16, with Trump revying up attacks on McConnell after the October surprise? Did the public spat between them ever matter?
