Schmitt: Yeah, I was a little surprised when I saw how well she does in polls, but really shouldn’t be, because that’s just like the classic—I remember when I was a kid, every year Ted Kennedy would be at the very top of the polls, Al Gore for a while, people like that. I like…
Read MoreTrump Ballroom Suddenly Faces GOP Opposition in Surprise Blow to MAGA
But the Post poll suggests that the ballroom has proven to be one of those things that breaks through to lower-information voters in unpredictable ways.

Read MoreTranscript: Trump Cornered as Damning Leaks Expose Fresh War Blunders
Noah: Yeah, and this is a war that every president, starting with Jimmy Carter, has contemplated, and they have all ruled it out due to essentially the same set of facts.

“Under Louisiana law, the legislature, not the Governor or the Secretary of State, sets the state’s election schedule.

We’ve seen…
