Trump nominated a guy who goes to coke-fuelled swinger parties and was investigated for bringing minors across state lines for the purposes of prostitution and who is suspiciously enthusiastic about marijuana, a Schedule I drug, for attorney general, apparently seriously, seriously enough to conneedle individual senators to get confirmed. My feeling is that this nomination falls through, presaging a year of internecine Republican chaos that will make it hard to get anything done before midterms. It’s Trump. Chaos, bombast, and the unprecedented go with the territory.

This is actually about the best-case scenario.
