That said, Trump will be defeated by a large popular vote majority in 2020 (fingers Xed), so Mike's headline may well be correct anyway.
And there are compelling reasons for the change (unless you don't believe democracy particularly important):

i particularly enjoyed Owen Jones getting pwned by James Cleverly.

This is perhaps possible around about the time that Texas flips to leaning blue, as that would add a large does of inefficient votes to the Republican tally - but I've no idea how long it would take for that trend to reach that point.
That might be another reason for some states to be wary of it.
We kept being told that Japanese disinvestment is due to other reasons.
Certainly nothing to do with Brexit.
"That’s hard to say." No
Both are appalling.
Oh and Ed's Diner which was a huge novelty and exciting when it came out but has now dissolved into general chaindom.
Just see how many like pizzas with pineapples on them.
Morris Dancer endorses fish and chips, not foreignist fast food dens of depravity.
Edited extra bit: (If you're wondering, yes, I do know the origin of fish and chips...).
Which incidentally is further proof that Scotland isn't fit to be an independent nation.
Have I missed anything?
I once won £120 in a Nando's by downing a pint of garlic and chilli sauce. Could taste it for days...

There would be problems in practice and that would encourage further reform.
(And the Portugese introduced tempura to Japan, I believe.)
Music for my jilted generation, first concert I ever went to aged 15 in 1993. RIP.
This might have political fallout. Let's see if "the Sajid" will reverse Theresa May's 20,000 police cuts or at least establish a judge-led enquiry. Next PM punters will be watching!
I’m sure he wouldn’t have wanted more than a brief tear to be shed, before everyone goes back to the party.

This will all get sorted out in time, but right now it's a definite drag.
A max of three Tories moving would be just enough to cause panic in the government but not enough for them to lose their working majority .
I think matters could come to a head next week depending on the whip arrangements . If Mays deal goes down what next .
A free vote on the no deal and extension would be the safest route . If the government whipped to support no deal the Tories would implode , if they whip against no deal the ERG will implode .
An interesting side story what does May vote for . Can she avoid the vote because coming down on one side or the other is going to cause big problems for her.
Or are you saying that acted as some sort of catalyst for much greater awareness; because if so I haven't seen much evidence of it (outside certain hipster-y areas of London) where it existed previously.
Although, when I went with a group of birders to Arizona, we did clear out the stock of cooked food at a KFC (who were just about to close) for ten bucks.
Would have fed the 5,000.....
For some reason, I draw considerable comfort from knowing I live in a "golden age of political blundering".
If he can put in place a decent number of second/third places in other states, that puts him in quite a good position.
(Chris WIlliamson not even on the bench...)
Why didn't they act before?
'A charity run by Prince Charles received donations from an offshore company that was used to funnel vast amounts of cash from Russia in a scheme that is under investigation by prosecutors, the Guardian can reveal.'
It goes on
'There is no suggestion that end recipients of funds were aware of the original source of the money, which arrived via a disguised route. However, the documents indicate that criminal and legitimate money may have been mixed together, making it impossible to trace the original source, before passing through screen companies into the global banking system.'
"Easiest trade deal in history"
"We hold all the cards"
"Have our cake and eat it"
