This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said Pritzker should be in jail. Do you think he has committed a crime?

VANCE: I think Pritzker has certainly failed to keep the people of Illinois safe

S: It's a yes or no question

V: I certainly think he has violated his fundamental oath. That seems pretty criminal to me

Baseball is fun for me initially. That initially is carrying a lot. I'm drinking beer, eating something delicious and terrible, and sitting in the sun. After maybe the 7th inning, I'm drunk and/or sleepy and ready to go home.
