He just went there to hand out boot straps and copies of “Atlas Shrugged"

“For once in my life I felt pretty"

Exactly what it is like. They should be sitting around a couch talking about the lessons they all learned while their sassy housekeeper keeps cracking wise in the background until finally the lisping little kid says something like “Yeah, the press sure did WIG out over that!” they all laugh, cue credits over the laugh…

I’m so glad you said that, I just texted my wife to suggest going for a steak for dinner

Especially because he has said that at times he has thrown out large parts of what he’d written and reworked it. You can imagine how happy they would would be if they, say, started printing covers that highlighted a specific plot-line, only to have him inform them that he cut that part.

Of course she is establishment but let’s not act like her support base is just wealthy and powerful. She has a very supportive base that includes, in addition to older dems, women and the Hispanic and African American communities. I just have to say this because of the last part of your comment, I had the privilege of…

I gotcha, like I said I was mainly asking because of down-ticket races. CA has some tight Congressional races coming, depending where you are

That is why I had originally wanted him for Secretary of State. I know some people think he’s too gaffe-proned for that, but to me is is how we want America to be seen. Strong, straightforward and honest, and sure he makes mistakes and is occassionally offensive, but he has a great heart planted firmly in the right…

As in not voting or just not voting for her? We still need every dem in the voting booth, there are many critical races, even in CA

She is a pro; she may be establishment, but she is establishment in the good ways as well, meaning big picture thinking for the party. Making sure a Democrat is in the White House and winning as many seats as possible, a statehouse here-and-there, this needs to be a priority. She is a party loyalist which is a nice…

I’m with you on the near-sympathy. I really believe, much as I disagree with his Rand-loving self on almost everything, that he is a serious person who wants to do serious(ly bad for most of us) things, but now he’s stuck running the nuthouse. Nothing said more than how much he didn’t want the Speakership, how sad was…

Hillary is a better stump-er and I think she will do a better job stumping for down ticket races, midterm numbers don’t apply here because they are always lower but yeah, turnout is absolutely the name of the game. I really worry that Bernie won’t really stump for her like he should if he loses the nomination, we…

I bet they mock the tea party for it too. This is no different than Paul Ryan last Sunday, being forced to admit that eliminating an existing plan is not the same thing as having a plan of your own.
“We’d dismantle Obamacare”
“And replace it with what?”
“Well...something better than Obamacare, I can tell you that…

I believe the thinking is that a Bernie to win would require non-likely voters to turn out in big numbers, which will help down-ticket candidates.

So they’re tea partiers? Because that sounds like their “logic”

Absolutely; there has never been as useless and obstructionist a group of congresspeople as republicans since President Obama took office, and it was Vice President Biden who McConnell actually worked with. Budgets would not have been passed without him.

Sounds like someone read Sam Brownback’s strategy memos

He didn’t even clap for veterans; does he even understand being a republican? You don’t actually help them but you act like you can’t sleep at night because you’re too busy thinking about them and their families (whose assistance you voted to cut earlier that day)

It’s not your fault, some doctors are actually replacing the little hammer they use in reflex tests with a super-lifelike 3-d replica of Paul Ryan. If you see it and don’t swing on it, they check to see if something is wrong

Vice President Biden strikes me as the type who, while waiting for the President to enter the chamber would just say to Ryan “I’ve seen you work out, I don’t need to. Scranton strong! Here I’ll show you.” Ryan would try to laugh it off and Biden would say “No, I’m serious” to a befuddled Ryan. Oh what I wouldn’t give…
