In Which We Discuss:

1. Puerto Rico apparently held the key to the ongoing GOP dry mouth epidemic, but nobody from their party was there to look for it

2. Nikki Haley is now free to use as many private jets and basketball tickets as her little heart desires

3. Susan Collins proves that unassuming old slow-talkers have the same capacity for evil as the rest of us

4. California isn’t the only state that can force you to vote on too many props

5. Finally time to dig into our favorite thing: Suspicious election polling in random states

6. The one thing we can still do is unify around rural white people
