This is a helpful essay in thinking about how reporters should approach Trump -- and also what we as readers and writers should be willing to consume or quote. I'm thinking A LOT about this and I've changed my habits since the election. Good Politics/Bad Politics is something that I continue to read -- but I'm done with a lot of otherwise excellent journalism that encourages us to look at the spectacle...and not focus on the actual policy and practical outcomes.

Appreciate the feedback
I think it will be like Twitter. People will still call it The Gulf of Mexico.
