I've often written on this blog (here, for instance) about how people who talk tough rarely do anything tough but talk. They think telling you how tough they are is the same thing as actually taking actions that involve toughness…and of course, it isn't. That's Donald Trump's approach to darn near everything: Talk tough. Say how tough you are. You don't need a plan if you can look tough. And as Jonathan Chait notes, we can defeat our enemies by talking tough and using lots of swear words.
Kevin Drum has a good summary of why progressives should be solidly behind Hillary Clinton. Everything Drum lists has been pretty well documented and it's amazing (and frustrating) how many of them are matters in which her foes have been able to convince people the opposite is true.
