Al Hunt has worked in DC journalism seemingly forever. He's currently with Bloomberg and an old liberal, but not stupid. Which makes his current article more interesting.
Hunt argues that much of the trouble Democrats are having with the Supreme Court successor to Justice Kennedy is self-inflicted. Then he itemizes all their missteps that have ended them in the current fix.
One he doesn't mention is that some of the Court's oldest justices - Breyer (79) and Ginsburg (85) - are Democrats who could have retired while Obama had a Democrat majority in the Senate, but didn't. Now they may leave involuntarily due to infirmity with Trump in office and Republicans controlling the Senate.
That was them thinking selfishly, not strategically. But of course everyone expected Ms. Clinton to win, which she failed to do. And now there is talk Hillary wants to lose again in 2020. I hope she gets that chance, she's damaged goods.
