One guy grew up in redneckville, South Carolina. The other an affluent community in the suburbs of Boston. And both are having conversations with their male friends about the Kavanaugh story, sex and power. And what guys are saying in private about the Kavanaugh accusation is very different from the image of men, sex and brute force that’s being portrayed by the anti-Kavanaugh activists and their...

Behind the Blue Wall - Could Trump Face A “Buchanan Bump” In New Hampshire?
play

08/21/18 • 0 min

A new poll finding 40 percent of New Hampshire Republicans think a GOP primary for President Trump would be a good thing sparks comparisons to an incumbent Republican president in 1992 and a relatively unknown TV commentator. What do Nazis, “macho gay men” and Massachusetts Republicans have in common? A self-inflicted blow of pro-Trump stupidity that you have to hear to believe.

(It’s a trick answer–don’t miss it!) Also, Boston Democrats want to give non-citizens...
