I was there tonight. My third Bernie rally going all the way back to his first appearance at that venue in June 2015. Two observations apropos of nothing: First, Bernie remains remarkably unchanged over that full decade's time. Second, Susan Collins may finally get vomited out of our body politic.

The Reagan portrait in the background is fitting given that the GOP arrived at Trump by tracing the Gipper's existential trajectory with astounding precision. Which is to say, unapologetic racism and many years of progressively degenerative incapacitation far beyond any plausible hope of recovery.
