Opinions P.M.
 
 
Mike Pence’s Obamacare fudge
Pence should come clean on expanding Obamacare.
How ‘Westworld’ managed to make a supposedly decadent orgy feel boring
When explicit sex becomes a cable TV staple, the only really shocking thing left to depict is emotion.
 
Trump campaign demonstrates utter transparency, in one sense of the word
But on the other hand...
 
If Clinton wins, get ready for an outbreak of conservative male grievance
White men's loss of status has fed the Trump campaign; the emphasis may shift from "white" to "men."

Some questions for CNN on Donna Brazile
Since CNN doesn't appear to be hurrying to grant the Erik Wemple Blog's interview request.
 
Amid political uncertainty, businesses must step up on climate change
The GOP’s Trump blunder will haunt the party
For many, there is no going back to the GOP.
 
Want to shrink prisons? Stop subsidizing them.
Pay for what works: Give money to states that reduce incarceration and crime.
 
 
It’s not the economy, stupid
Voters are not nearly as concerned about the economy as they once were.
 
To reform our prisons, follow the states’ lead
Criminal justice reform should be easy for the next president. It's already underway.
 
Las Vegas PD still using bogus drug test kits, years after admitting that they’re unreliable
Hundreds of innocent people have likely been convicted. No one in Las Vegas seems to care.
Kudos to Chuck Grassley
A lonely voice in the GOP wilderness.

Sketchpad: Trump gets another portrait of himself he isn’t paying for
He doesn't know anything about art, but he knows what he doesn't like.
 
There are two reasons people vote the way they do, and the reason they give isn't one of them
At election time, you need to understand code.
 
Trump’s Putin problem returns in a big way
Trump is plainly the worst choice.
