I’ve long wondered what it would be like if debate among American political leaders was more like that in Britain…
Today we got a glimpse of what that might be like. It’s a long way away from the UK style of conversation, but it’s also a long way from what we’re used to hearing.

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
