Talk:Don McGahn

Biography
No information about how or why he left the USNA?

"Coursework completed" for an LL.M. is not a verifiable fact. It was years ago, and if he were going to get the degree, he would have it by now.

--- There is no indication of his current status. Is he employed or retired? If so where? Mountainlogic (talk) 15:53, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

--- It says his firm represented Russian oligarchs including Alexander Mashkevitch, but Mashkevitch isn't Russian and seems to only have Kazach dealings. Anyone care to cite sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbabuch (talk • contribs) 13:22, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

POV deletions
This edit makes extensive deletions of well-sourced WP:RS material. I think we should start restoring it. --Nbauman (talk) 02:58, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

BLP violation vs Donald Trump?
Some of this article reads like a gossip column. For example, how could the New York Times know what Trump was planning to do in some hypothetical future situation? Probably a lot of it should be deleted as lacking reliable sources and BLP violation. A source which speculates on what a man is planning to do, is unreliable.

"lock step voting"
The quoted term "lock step voting" is also known as "block voting", and is more frequently used at the "grass roots" (vs. mass media) level. Unions, for example, have always made a regular practice of block voting. There is a Wikipedia Article on block voting that should be included. Consideration to moving the passage on block voting should be made at some point. The documentary "Dark Money" was just recently released, but at some point this may be the main aspect of McHahn that he is best known by. "Lock-step voting" has a negative, and pejorative connotation, where "block voting" is a more open description of a political tactic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_voting Tym Whittier (talk) 18:44, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Pronunciation?
Is the last vowel like "gone" or "ran"? I've heard both in the media, it would be helpful to have a citation to his own pronunciation. babbage (talk) 13:07, 10 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I have not heard a single media source pronounce it like "gone"; all that I have heard in the past several days pronounce it like "ran". I would think that the president of Hillsdale College would have been fully briefed on how to say his guest's name? youtu.be/WWbiUqq_Lqw?t=41 - Wacomshera (talk) 00:12, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
