“Now There Are Two Democrats to Dislike, Not Just One”
For his performance in the vice presidential debate, Tim Kaine has been “smacked around,” writes Peggy Noonan in the WSJ, “but not nearly enough.” His (Kaine’s) strategy was clear: Block all thought, reduce everything to prefabricated one-liners.

The Insidious Clinton/Sanders Similarities will Blow Your Mind
The Cato Institutes Dan Mitchell offers compelling reasoning to paint Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders with the same coercive statist brush.
