People won’t ask each other, “Which generation are you voting for?” And they definitely won’t vote based entirely on way-insider technical issues. The question might be this: Black rose to success 20-40 years ago. If you don’t believe me, watch the faces of young people next time you catch an older person speaking to them about race, gender or national origin. But it may mean the election could turn on questions that speak to broader sensibilities, like rewilding the Trinity River, expanding the trail system, creating neighborhoods where poor people can live on the same street with middle-class people and the middle-class people won’t pass out every time they see them. Those issues are so deep, so close to the bone that people just read them in each other by mental sonar. And may the best sensibility win. But it’s going to get worked out as personality. You could almost say the reason we have politics in the first place is so we won’t all have to work on drainage issues. Say this for the technical side of politics: With that tiny a sliver of the city’s potential voters making the decision on vote day, any candidate who can push the stack by even a few thousand voters one way or the other will have an enormous advantage. I wish they could all be mayor at the same time.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The National Rifle Association’s decision to ban guns during Mike Pence’s speech at its annual meeting in Dallas this week “leaves him totally vulnerable to a bear attack,” the Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, warned on Monday. Speaking to reporters at the Education Department, DeVos said that she was “deeply concerned” that the N.R.A. was underestimating the danger posed to Pence by “the savagery of one rogue bear.” “All it would take is one angry bear to ruin what otherwise promises to be a really nice gun event,” she said. She added that, after contacting the N.R.A. leadership, she was alarmed to discover that there would be no bear detectors at the entrance to the Dallas venue. “A bear can simply waltz in there,” she said, shaking her head. “This is madness.” DeVos urged the gun organization to rethink its plan and insure that every member of the audience for Pence’s speech is fully armed. “If there are no guns, that is sending a very dangerous message to bears,” she said.

Dr. Robert Jeffress had invited Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity to share his testimony and promote a new faith-based movie during Sunday morning services at the megachurch. Sasse, a Nebraska Republican, attacked Jeffress in a series of tweets -- which I've posted below. "By the way, we're talking about Sundays here...(You can be free from politics,)" he tweeted. With all due respect, Sen. Sasse is not a member of the First Baptist Church in Dallas -- so I'm not quite sure why it's any of his business who the church invites to participate in its worship services. Michael Wear, a former Obama White House staffer also criticized First Baptist Dallas, tweeting, "Politics as religion. Well-known conservative columnist Erick Erickson wrote a scathing article titled, "Is Rev. "Jeffress has been worshiping at the altar of Trump lately. And as he gets rewarded mightily with access, one need not take too deep a reading of Psalm 73 to worry for him and which side of salvation he is on," Erickson wrote. "You've got a Republican senator who is criticizing what a pastor and his local church are doing to share the gospel of Jesus Christ," Jeffress said. I know Robert Jeffress and I know Sean Hannity.
