* “I am proud to say that we are going into this general election a united party.” That was Joe Biden after formally clinching the Democratic presidential nomination. One caveat: No unforced errors, Joe, that enable Trump to pivot and divert. Stay on script, strategically get out of your Delaware basement to juxtapose priorities and principles and ratchet up the number of key advisers who better reflect diversity and inclusiveness.
* If the Republican convention were to relocate to Florida, it wouldn’t be to Tampa. Common logistical sense and public safety come to mind. Also, no way would the GOPsters want to encourage opposing partisans from bringing back a classic bumper sticker: “Tampa 2012: Where Stupidity Meets Humidity.” And that’s when Mitt Romney was the Republican nominee.
