Now that “Trump, the democratic Saddam, has lost, and his metaphorical statue will soon be dragged out of the White House,” Democrats need to turn their attention to creating an “ambitious” new party identity, advises Matt Taibbi at Rolling Stone. For the last decade, “the brilliantly marketable Obama and the monster-pig shipwreck act that was Trump” let Democrats ignore the fact that “something was not quite working with the party’s overall message.” Having elected Joe Biden, “another ex-senator with a pro-Iraq [War], pro-NAFTA” record, they’ll need to acknowledge “how much failing to deliver real change cost them before.” Otherwise, “they will find themselves right back where they were four years ago — vulnerable to revolts on both sides.” US Attorney General William Barr evidently “kept quiet about the Hunter Biden investigation — even when the Trump campaign was metaphorically screaming at the top of its lungs,” National Review’s Jim Geraghty notes. Those who called Barr a “partisan hack” should “please line up to make a very public apology.” Barr chose not to shake up the race “with a dramatic revelation as Americans were casting ballots,” proving himself to be “the guy who follows the law and preestablished procedure and the evidence to the truthful conclusion.
