In Which We Discuss:

1. The New Hampshire Primary and Iowa Caucus were both over before they started.

2. Tim Scott is now fake engaged to his fake girlfriend because now he’ll be Veep material…or something.

3. Joe Biden is staking his entire campaign on the one issue he doesn’t personally care about at all.

4. Dean Phillips is getting bad media advice, which is weird considering his family tree.

5. Does Donald Trump have leprosy? The internet speculates!
