This Columbus Day, a reminder Christopher Columbus was “a murderous moron”
VOX by German Lopez

“The real story of Columbus is even worse and weirder than you think,” host Adam Conover explained.

For one, Columbus did not disprove that the Earth is flat and discover that the world is round. “In his time, it was already common knowledge,” Conover said. In fact, humans have known that the Earth is round for more than 2,000 years, with ancient Greeks like Aristotle and Eratosthenes saying as much in their own works.

Harry Reid issues warning to Democrats ahead of 2020: Do not underestimate Trump
Fox News by David Montanaro

“[Trump] is a man who has a stalwart 40 percent of people out there who will vote for him no matter what he does. As Donald Trump said, 'I could shoot somebody in Times Square, they would still support me.' That’s sad, but probably true. So No. 1, I repeat: He is not going to be beaten easily. He’s going to take a campaign of wisdom and patience, but he is beatable for sure," said Reid, who retired in 2016.

Warren’s Rise Hasn’t Come At Biden’s Expense
fivethirtyeight.com by Nate Silver

Advantage Warren’ as Dems ready for pivotal debate
Politico by DAVID SIDERS

Bernie Sanders is recovering from his heart attack. Joe Biden is under siege, and laying into Donald Trump. And the entire Democratic presidential field has become consumed with the House’s impeachment inquiry into the Republican president.

With so many candidates responding to circumstances beyond their control — and the threat of a destabilizing moment running high on a stage that’s expanding to 12 candidates from 10 — it’s raising the specter of a debate Tuesday that finally breaks the Democratic primary logjam.

BNC by Evan Vucci

英语政治和媒体词典 Dictionary of Politics & Media

You’re No Jack Kennedy

Meaning
When you say "You’re No Jack Kennedy", you disapprove those ( especially politicians) who are perceived as thinking too highly of themselves.

该词字面意思“你绝不是杰克•肯尼迪”，通常用来贬低讽刺那些认为自己很高大上的政治人物。

这句话最早来自1988年参议员劳埃德·本特森（D-TX）和参议员丹·奎尔（R-IN）之间的1988年副总统辩论。当时奎尔Quayle认为自己相对年纪轻，并将自己跟前总统约翰·肯尼迪（John F. Kennedy）相比较时，本特森（Lloyd Bentsen）回击道：“参议员，我在杰克·肯尼迪（Jack Kennedy）任过职，我知道杰克·肯尼迪，杰克·肯尼迪是我的朋友。参议员， You’re No Jack Kennedy.

《华盛顿邮报》评价：“如果一个人能因为留下一句话被人们记住，就像最近离开的劳埃德·本特森（Lloyd Bentsen)那样, 那是一个非常完美的。而我们大多数人从来没有体验过用这种机智的回答扼杀对手的痛快。我们大多人是事后诸葛亮，为时已晚。”
