More quotes by Kevin Drum
The plain fact is that recent college grads aren’t in massive pain. They suffered during the Great Recession like everyone else, but all told, they probably suffered a little less than most other groups.
Kevin Drum
So many theories. But all of them have one thing in common: They demonstrate that although Trump isn’t much of a businessman, he is rich enough to hire good tax attorneys who will hand over huge stacks of forms for him to sign blindly. That’s a helluva qualification for president, isn’t it?
Kevin Drum
You're more likely to vote Democratic if you hate Republicans than if you love Democrats, and vice versa.
Kevin Drum
We need to cut regulations. Apparently this will make everyone a little more socially responsible?
Kevin Drum
I read quite a few complaints last night about Lester Holt’s choice of debate topics. Liberals wanted to know why climate change didn’t come up. Conservatives thought there should have been a question about abortion.
Kevin Drum
Democrats are awfully sensitive to losing power for a few years. I report, you decide.
Kevin Drum
The ability to focus on a single task for an extended period is a talent that’s underappreciated - especially by extroverts, who continue to exercise an unhealthy hegemony over most workplaces.
Kevin Drum
Note to conservatives: sometimes you just have to give up. Do you really care that much about killing lots of bad guys as opposed to letting them rot in prison for the rest of their lives? It might be time to let go and save your energy for other battles. This one is getting absurd.
Kevin Drum
In America, the economy is simply nowhere near bad enough to serve as the base of any kind of serious political revolution.

Marco Rubio turns a question about missing Senate votes into an attack on the mainstream media.
Kevin Drum
The media here is the opposition party. They don't understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
Kevin Drum
Betsy DeVos, for example, has shown that she’s flatly ignorant of an astounding amount of basic education policy. It might be possible to persuade two or three Republicans to oppose her on these grounds - but only if the entire confirmation process isn’t a pure partisan battle.
Kevin Drum
Actually, I think we all understand just fine why Donald Trump is president: because he ran a racist, boorish, epically mendacious campaign and Republicans all decided to go along with it. And even that wouldn’t have been enough if Trump hadn’t gotten some additional help from his pals James Comey and Vladimir Putin.
Kevin Drum
[David] Muir tried four or five times to get a straight answer about [Donald] Trump's idiotic claim that 3-5 million noncitizens voted, and Trump just flatly wouldn't engage.
Kevin Drum
I think [Hillary] Clinton owes the press some thanks for going so far overboard on the emails and the Clinton Foundation over the past year.
Kevin Drum
You have to buy off interest groups, compromise your ideals, and settle for half loaves...
Kevin Drum
Donald Trump says he's going to change the no-guns policy at his resorts. I can't wait to see that.
Kevin Drum
Smart hiring managers in the modern world should be asking, “How long can you concentrate on a task before you have to take a break?” I wonder how many of them do?
Kevin Drum
Apple has never allowed ad-blocking software on the iPhone or iPad. This is one among many reasons that I ditched both. Not because I hate ads all that passionately, but because it's an example of the obsessive corporate control Apple maintains over its environment.
Kevin Drum
We stiffened the penalties for fraud, we extended nationwide efforts to make sure that payments are accurate and they closed a loophole in which people were gaming the system. We didn't change eligibility requirements or reduce the level of benefits.
