I
was telling my brother today that this year's GOP presidential field makes me
kind of miss George W. Bush. Accent on the "kind of."
Rival
data scientists who each claim "near-perfect election formula" assert
with near-certainty that Sanders or Trump will be next president
Keeping
my emotional distance from the generalized American freakout that this
presidential campaign represents. I enjoy my mental health.
