Do you do this if you;re down 14 in the 1st quarter?  If so, how is this different from saying that you should always go for two?

Early voting starts Oct 23.  Two weeks until I can vote against Ted Cruz.

The answer is that for a long time they chronically underachieved and were really boring to watch. The Swedish woman who coached them for years was committed to a 4-4-2 which kept their best players out of their preferred positions (and some of them on the bench). The new coach seemed to be figuring out the tactics…

Is that one barrel of oil? Or does each guy have his own?

By “the two leaders”, do they mean the one leader and one follower in the slipstream? Sorry in advance to anyone hurt by the truth.

aka mulching the mushroom.  

It’s the job of the party and the candidate to get people to vote for them.  It’s not the job of every disaffected left-leaning flake to toe the line in order to drag them over the finish line.  Put the blame where it belongs.

Democrats failed us, all right.  They did it over the course of a generation culminating in the election of 2016.  To get all mad at them for failing to stop the inevitable consequence of their prior failures is....well, OK.  Whatever.  Go ahead and pretend there was really something they could have done.

This is the correct take.

Fuck Hillary Clinton, too. With a rusty crowbar. All she had to do to prevent this was to stop sucking for a split second.

Last, but not least, strategic geniuses Robbie Mook and Jen Palmieri, and the one person who managed to lose to donald trump all be her neo-liberal, neo-conservative self, Hillary Clinton! That’s right sports fans. The person who controlled the Democratic Party to the extent that she was able to crowd all then-current…

She is quite the self-satisfied little attention seeker, isn’t she?

Once Flake goes away, we can start pretending that Ben Sasse is going to save us.

Oh, Paul. They’re red state Democrats. Be grateful WV doesn’t have some Republican ghoul. If you want to get mad at someone, look at the DE jerks or the NH ladies or whoever’s turn it is to provide the deciding votes on some shitty piece of banking de-reg or drug price protection.

Mika sometimes makes me wonder if the “hammerheads” don’t actually have a point.

Actually, that paragraph makes perfect sense. is there a reading comprehension issue on the part of the author? I mean, Brett Stevens is awful and everything, but what is the point of block quoting a crystal clear bit of writing and saying it makes no sense?

Hey Robbie Mook. Doesn’t the evidence support the exact opposite of what you’re saying?

The DCCC operates as a protection racket. Libby’s description is cynical, yet naive.

I resent that crack about celery.

Not according to this. People live in places like Bangor, LA, and Presque Isle.......
