    I have never heard of ze and zir and I have a fairly reliable source of higher education information. Maybe that hasn't hit her school.

    I hadn't heard of it, either. It was in the column. But if you Google it, it's definitely a thing.

    If anyone hadn't noticed yet, today's left-leaning college students are essentially insufferable.

    High-concept academia in general is not much more than a massive circle-jerk.

    Running the government is nothing, repeat nothing, like running a private business, nor should it be.

    In 2008, Obama had more than a decade of experience in government. In sure you and all the righties think he was sitting in his office eating fried chicken, but he probably did learn a little bit about how the process was supposed to work.

    Clooney's current resume in public affairs utterly dwarfs those of Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, respectively, when they first ran for governor of California. (Affleck probably not so much.)

    C'mon, now. That does not fit the narrative.

    Anyone who picks a team is. If you haven't figured out yet that these two parties are the same party that's on you.

    I heard somewhere that Bernie Sanders spoke at Liberty University the other day. I'm surprised that the stories about the students' safe spaces and disruptions of his speech haven't made the news.

    These "frontrunners" are doing nothing more than fingerpainting with kindergartners at this point:

    Will Wednesday’s GOP debate move the discourse from flash to substance?

    McCain added about Trump: “He’s not been asked tough questions. He’s said he wants to deport 11 million people. How do you do that? He hasn’t answered that question. He said in the Middle East he would go, and quote, ‘take their oil.’ I’d like to know how you do that. I think the American people deserve an explanation.”

    Not all of them want one — at least not yet. Trump and Carson both bombed interviews with Hewitt — to no appreciable effect. In March, Carson appeared not to realize that the Baltic states were NATO members. Asked about the fumble, he explained that a president would have “access to a lot of experts in a lot of areas” and that he would not be stymied by gotcha questions. “You don’t want to devote all your attention to learning facts on a fact sheet,” he said. His standing has grown dramatically since then.

    Trump, under more scrutiny, fared even worse. He’d previously told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd that his foreign policy advice came from watching Sunday talk shows and talking to national security hawks. Faced with Hewitt’s questions, Trump seemed to confuse Iran’s Quds forces for the decidedly non-Iranian Kurds, and he couldn’t describe the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas.

    It was a disaster, compounded by Fiorina’s largely adroit answers to the same questions. Yet like every “disaster” of Trump’s summer, it did not halt his momentum; in poll after poll, he has held his position as front-runner of the Republican field since early July.

    Might as well get truly real.
