ANN ALTHOUSE CORRECTS THE NYT: Was Trump’s SOTU theme “nationalism”? Was it devoid of values? Freedom, individualism, and self-government are all values, she points out. Well, but not values that are recognized at the NYT. Plus: “Barbaro/Landler seemed critical of Trump’s minimizing himself, as if that’s a tricky device, but Trump — who is so often denounced as narcissistic — should get at least some credit for performing the absence of narcissism.”
Meanwhile, Joy Reid sees values, hates them.
Yes, the Democrats should absolutely run foursquare against all of these things, this year and in 2020.
