Early Returns: Exit Polls and Calling the Shots

[BloombergView] [Early Returns] [Jonathan Bernstein] 1. Stephen A. Nuño and Bryan Wilcox-Archuleta have more evidence why we [should not trust the exit polls on Latino voting]. 2. Dan Drezner on [who will call the foreign-policy shots] in the Donald Trump administration. 3. At the Monkey Cage, James Pfiffner on why Trump will need a [single, strong chief of staff]. Hard to argue with some 60 years of evidence on this one. 4. Julian Sanchez on why we should [call the "alt-right" by that name]. Convincing! My hesitation isn't the one he talks about, however; it's whether it reflects unfairly on other conservatives. My rule of thumb: The more conservatives push back against the name, the less likely I'll be to use it. Although beyond that, I've never been a fan of using "left" and "right" to talk about U.S. politics anyway. 5. While Sarah Posner reports on how the group is [celebrating Trump's win]. 6. Philip Klein on House Budget Committee Chairman (and apparent nominee for secretary of Health and Human Services) [Tom Price's approach to health-care reform]. 7. See too Sarah Kliff on [Price and health care]. 8. This is an unusual situation, but I still tend to agree with my Bloomberg View colleague Noah Feldman that [unfaithful electors are bad for U.S. democracy]. 9. And Nate Silver quantifies the obvious observation that the 2016 presidential election was [no landslide]. Get Early Returns every morning in your inbox. Click [here] to subscribe.
