Can't Break Out Of The Nihilistic Feedback Loop

++Martin Longman and Nancy LeTourneau do tag team wrestling today at the Washington Monthly. Nancy writes two pieces--one on Obama's policies for native Americans and another on how Obama's scandal-free second term breaks the second term jinx and keeps the door open for another African-American.

++Martin's piece on David Frum's Atlantic piece about how the glorious GOP restoration in 2016 has become undone and how the establishment is frantic about trying to piece together true party again as the base has rebelled. Longman's piece thinks that the turning point was not the bailout of the banks but the Senate passing immigration reform. The GOP wanted a party of the permanent minority as they face their demographic winter and couldn't stomach what the establishment wanted. Nice job of analysis, Martin or shall we say Booman.
