The Orange Man is certainly the Great White Whale of the American establishment. The Pied Piper of the talking heads. The best piñata the little kids have, to run after with sticks.

The problem for the Democrats is they can't as easily pitch Biden aside, especially since they control the Senate and will have to defend him from the House investigations, so we get the deranged clown, versus the demented puppet, round two.

Though all that really matters is that debt doesn't matter, until it does. Everything else is just deck chairs on the Titanic.

It might be politics all the way down, but it's economics all the way up. Like the head versus the gut.

Unless you haven't noticed, the gut decides, the head just advises.
