«Young voters cheer Bernie Sanders’ anti-establishment message. They turn out in throngs at his rallies. And they form the core of his grassroots efforts to win the Democratic presidential nomination.
But their fiery passion did not translate into the robust turnout he needed on Super Tuesday»

«About 37 percent of Democrats and independents under 35 voted in 2016. According to Broockman and Kalla’s figures, Sanders would need to get that figure up to 48 percent [11 points, for those who didn’t do the math yet — John L.]. By comparison, Broockman told me, in 2008, Barack Obama raised black turnout by about five percentage points.»
Pinning this. I had to look it up for about the 3rd or 4th time.

Here’s hoping this tweet is soon irrelevant (meaning: here’s hoping Bernie fades).

False. Sanders worked with John McCain to pass a massive, emergency, damage control bill after they were all asleep at the wheel. And when pressed by McCain, Sanders folded. Opening the door to the biggest privatization expansion in VA history. More: https://t.co/U3pKIt2GHe https://t.co/GdWQ5Qo5k5

Go, Italy!

As @anneapplebaum notes: Italy’s numbers are high in great part because the Italians are doing a good job testing their people fast, accurately, and for free.
America’s numbers seem low not because US is exempt, but because US is testing late, slow, and expensively https://t.co/FY7uvW41Fb

@KGuilaine The only way English will be a truly international language is if there are international contributions to it. This is not a cause for distress but rather celebration.
The soft power runs the other way. (I.e., it’s English that has the “soft power”. Also, why are we using the word “power”?) The “lingua franca” (ha!) is going to pick up new words, of course.

Nigerian soft power has been increasing. Nigerian English like ‘next tomorrow’ is in the OED loool.
“Oxford lexicographers updated the dictionary with 29 Nigerian words, recognising the “unique & distinctive contribution to English as a global language”.” https://t.co/kxCLBCGswB
That being said: yay, new words! (Now I just have to understand them.)
Also: wow, Nigeria has 200 million people? That is NOT chump change.
