• The Left predicted that Jon Stewart’s succession by a biracial foreigner would be greeted with hate and fear from paranoid, partisan zealots. And they were right.

• Clean as a hound’s tooth, or a Hillary server. Representative Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.), head of the House Benghazi probe, was told by Clinton lawyer David Kendall (of impeachment fame) that the private server on which Mrs. Clinton conducted business during her tenure as secretary of state was now blank, because she had wiped it after turning her job-related e-mails over to the State Department. She turned them over years after she left office and only when the House asked for them, and she herself decided what was job-related and what was not. Assume there was nothing — Benghazi-related, Clinton Foundation–related, anything-related — that might now embarrass Mrs. Clinton. The fact remains that she operates, by preference, secretly and outside regular channels. She did so as first lady, she does so still, she would do so as president. That may be the norm in jerkwater countries like Kazakhstan or the Congo, but it should not be the norm in the United States.
