 Swing?' The New York Times wants to know.

If you discriminate against the ugly, you're a

Lookist.  If you discriminate against a

columnist, are you a Brooksist?

'At Once Diminished and Dominating, 

Trump Prepares for His Next Act'

Ross Douthat Sez:  "Mitt Romney has the deadly taint 

of Never Trump."

Ross Douthat Sez:  "Ask me about Performative Masculinity."

"Prospect of Pardons in Final Days Fuels Market 

to Buy Access to Trump"

Ben Smith Sez:  "Maggie Haberman lives rent-free
