Per Josh Marshall, @ TPM.com:
There’s a strong temptation, maybe a reflex, to be frightened and outraged by the President’s floating the idea of delaying the November election. But the only appropriate response is mockery and ridicule of the President’s weakness and corruption. As a factual and procedural matter, none of this is in the President’s control. In practice, no one can change the date of the election. In theory, Congress could do it. But good luck getting Nancy Pelosi to sign on to that.
This is a recommended read.
I haven’t always seen eye-to-eye with Mr. Marshall, but his take is… empowering — in that it holds a kernel of a plan.
Resist.
