Taegan Goddard's Political Wire,
Mon, 11/03/2014 - 7:10am

Washington Post: "Obama's journey from triumphant, validated Democratic hero to a political millstone weighing on his party's chances is a tale of a second-term president quickly and repeatedly sidetracked by a series of crises -- some self-inflicted -- and the widely held perception that the White House has not managed them well." "Obama's list of second-term leadership crises is a formidable one: the botched rollout of HealthCare.gov, long waits at Veterans Affairs hospitals, Edward Snowden's disclosures of the National Security Agency's secrets, a pileup of foreign children along the southwestern border, the threat of Islamist terrorists marauding across Syria and Iraq beheading foreigners, including Americans, and the arrival of the Ebola virus in the United States."

    “What once resembled a wall of legal obstacles that stood between Donald Trump and his return to the White House is now looking like little more than a series of speed bumps,” Politico reports. “Prosecutors handling cases from Georgia to Florida to Washington, D. C., are discovering that bringing groundbreaking criminal charges against a former president is a lot easier than getting them to trial.” “That’s because Trump has benefited enormously from a pileup of postponements.

    “Top Republicans, led by former president Donald Trump, are refusing to commit to accept November’s election results with six months until voters head to the polls, raising concerns that the country could see a repeat of the violent aftermath of Trump’s loss four years ago,” the Washington Post reports. “The question has become something of a litmus test, particularly among the long list of possible running mates for Trump, whose relationship with his first vice president, Mike Pence, ruptured because Pence resisted Trump’s pressure to overturn the 2020 election.”
