Mike's Blog Round Up
August 18, 2015

Hi all. I'm just back from an extended vacation – thank you, blogenfreude, for staying on for an extra day – and ready to get back into… the Hegelian world-historical phenomenon known as Donald Trump? Well, what else is going on? Not a whole lot. And until the NFL gets underway in earnest next month, Trump pretty much has the stage to himself, towering over everything else on the American political-cultural landscape. I can't wait to hear what Jon Stewart has to say next about… aw, crap. This sucks. Let's get into it:

Occasional Planet: Donald Trump, menstruation, and vagina demagoguery.

The Left Coaster: Trump's vicious anti-Mexican demagoguery and the GOP.

P.M. Carpenter: Trump, the End Times of contemporary conservatism.

Mad Mike's America: The Sanders phenomenon; or, only a fool would bet against Hillary.

Kiko’s House: Alas, money can't buy Jeb love (or the presidency).

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.) I'll be here all week.

Send requests and suggestions to mbru@crooksandliars.com (with "For MBRU" in the subject line).
