An 89-year-old man who has announced every inauguration parade since Dwight D. Eisenhower’s second term in 1956 is “heartbroken” after President-elect Donald Trump benched him in favor of a new lead announcer.

President Barack Obama is under fire from conservatives due to his decision to announce new gun control measures via executive fiat while being flanked by a group of children. Republicans have accused the president of exploiting sentimentality in order to create the impression that his actions are morally – if not politically – justified. Emotionalism is toxic to the drafting of sound and effective legislation, and CNN contributor Will Cain made that point better than anyone today. But he could not have made his point as effectively as he did if his thoughtful analysis had not been so wonderfully contrasted by the impotent fervency and irrationality masking itself as compassion displayed by CNN host Carol Costello and Democratic strategist Maria Cardona.

'Optics' is not just ghastly jargon coined by DC insiders. It also unwittingly describes politics' disconnect from people's reality
Are there any bits of American campaign jargon more annoying than the word "optics"?

But wait! Did you notice how I just managed to explain the Gop's dilemma without using the word "optics"? That's because it's a staggeringly pointless piece of jargon that just means "how things look" or "public perception". Jargon is occasionally defensible when it expresses, in a syllable or two, something that would otherwise take paragraphs to explain. "Optics" doesn't do that. Yet here, courtesy of Patrick Gavin at Politico, are 13 instances of campaign personnel or journalists using it in the last few days. (For more,...
