Embarrassing West Hollywood mayor imports campus notions of free speech into real world.

Missed this: Does West Hollywood believe in free speech? Apparently not. They say they will deny Trump permits.

Just as GOP elite came to resent its own base (among Reagan Dems) Dem voters may regret the new Dem base (the rich). twitter.com/kausmickey/sta…

Perfidious Rafael? The competition to come up with a better Trumperic epithet for Ted Cruz than “Lyin’ Ted” yielded these suggestions:
1. Creepy Ted 2. Sneaky Ted 3. Cheatin’ Ted 4. Dirty Ted 5. Tricky Ted 6. TwisTed 7. Cryin’ Cruz 8. Shifty Ted 9. Slippery Ted 10. Two-Timing Ted
I’m partial to #3, “Cheatin’ Ted.” Throws a net over Trump’s process complaint — that Cruz is trying to unfairly deny voters their choice — while flicking at that (unproven) National Enquirer story. The latter subtlety might get Trump in trouble, though, precisely because the Enquirer‘s evidence was so thin (which is also why #10 is over the top). ….Number 5 works, but its Nixonian echoes would distract more than they’d amplify — “Was Nixon really like Cruz? Hmm. I’ll get up and get a beer and think about it.” …. That leaves #2, #8 or 9. They accurately capture Cruz’s semi-clever keep-the-options-open positioning on the issue I follow, immigration. Any of them seems better than “Lyin’ Ted,” which is too crude and generic (even if he lies). …
Thanks to alert kf readers for all the negativity!
