Former President Donald Trump was arraigned in New York on Tuesday on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, but the largest blow to his hopes of reclaiming the White House might have occurred nearly 1,000 miles away in Wisconsin, where liberals secured a majority on the state's Supreme Court for the first time in 15 years.

The Electoral College formally affirmed Joe Biden’s victory Monday, but President Trump fights on, much like the Black Knight in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” who won’t give up, even when his arms and legs have been chopped off.“ ’Tis but a scratch,” he says after King Arthur severs his right arm.“It’s just a flesh wound,” he insists as he loses the other arm.“I’m invincible!” he yells after losing his left leg, to which Arthur replies: “You’re a loony.”The psychology of the nation, six weeks since the election, is encapsulated in that 1975 movie scene.On Trump’s side, in his...

As he inches toward the GOP nomination, Donald Trump is becoming more and more disliked among American voters. Donald Trump wasn't wildly popular to begin with. And now he's becoming even more disliked among American voters, creating a significant threat to his chances of winning the Republican presidential nomination.
