Throughout the 2016 election cycle and ever since, I’ve been hearing that the Democratic Party has no bench. This is 100 percent true. When it comes to credible presidential prospects, the Democratic Party has several rows of benches. The Democratic Party has bleachers.

The story of the past year, beginning with an inaugural speech of darker bile and greater bunk than any in my lifetime, has been the abdication and outsourcing of the moral authority that the presidency of the United States once had.

“An attack on our country.”That’s a blunt, unqualified phrase that you associate with planes dropping bombs or tearing into skyscrapers.

"Trump Seethes, and the Rest of Us Should Tremble" is from the April 10, 2018 Opinion section of The New York Times. It was written by Frank Bruni and narrated by Fleet Cooper.

When all was said and done, the tax overhaul that President Donald Trump signed into law a little more than a week ago didn’t beat up on higher education to the extent that earlier drafts of the legislation did.

No one besides Donald Trump was going to ask Rex Tillerson to the prom. No one else was going to pin a corsage on Jeff Sessions, pick up Steven Mnuchin in a chauffeured limo, give a box of Godiva chocolates to Betsy DeVos.

"To Serve Is to Slobber" is from the October 10, 2017 Opinion section of The New York Times. It was written by Frank Bruni and narrated by Keith Sellon-Wright.

Another pro football season is about to begin, Tom Brady will again be taking snaps for the New England Patriots, and there’s chatter galore about how much longer that can last. He turned 40 on Aug. 3. In quarterback years, he’s a fossil.

At this point I think it’s fair to say that Donald Trump has gone beyond taunting and demonizing Hillary Clinton to a realm of outright obsession.

Sometimes the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Sometimes the apple is also considerably dimmer than the tree.

"Mini-Donald’s Major Fail" is from the July 11, 2017 Opinion section of The New York Times. It was written by Frank Bruni and narrated by Keith Sellon-Wright.

Poor Donald Trump, so late to the lesson that so many plutocrats before him learned: You can’t find good help.

"Donald Trump Is Never to Blame" is from the June 06, 2017 Opinion section of The New York Times. It was written by Frank Bruni and narrated by Kristi Burns.

The appearance of Jeff Sessions before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday didn’t bring us much closer to understanding what did or didn’t happen between Donald Trump and the Russians, or what the president has or hasn’t done to cover it up. Sessions batted away many questions. His answers to others were gauzy and useless.

"The Mortification of Sessions" is from the June 13, 2017 Opinion section of The New York Times. It was written by Frank Bruni and narrated by Keith Sellon-Wright.

Make no mistake: Democrats were swimming against the current in Georgia. The House seat that their sights were on had been safely in Republican hands for nearly four decades. Georgia’s 6th District is purple only if you scrunch your eyes just so. If you in-scrunch them and look at it honestly, it’s red.

"After Georgia Election, Democrats Are Demoralized, Again" is from the June 20, 2017 Opinion section of The New York Times. It was written by Frank Bruni and narrated by Kristi Burns.
