I'm terribly confused. The Durham hullabaloo is that Hillary Clinton's campaign infiltrated White House servers while Obama was in office, and therefore she was spying on Trump? I'm going to need someone to explain that one to me. This is a job for Frank Lee/J Boone.

The Barnes stuff is not encouraging, and sounds like a recipe for another 6 years of Ron Anon. Barnes is in that no-man's-land where a lot of Republicans find themselves with respect to Trump: Barnes could denounce the Defunders and Abolish ICEers to appeal to moderates, but he would piss off the far left upon which he relies heavily, and no matter what he does it seems like he's not going to get enough votes to win a general election. There is no strategy he can pursue at this point. You can't win by just appealing to the far left, but you also can't win if you alienate the far left.

I wonder if part of Johnson's decision to run again was his estimation that his likely opponent would be Barnes.
