Their base will froth in the moment, but they’ll always fall in line with time and anti-abortion promises. And running Mueller would thoroughly revoke the shadow of 2017/18’s weak simpering.

If I were the Democratic Party, I'd definitely try to shut up about gun control between now and November, as this is basically the only issue that the Dems can lose on.

Is this an issue of the women's march organizers not coordinating with the national level party? We have a historical context here, and its a really stupid thing to ignore.

Wasn’t enough to close the gap, but still true. A typical 20+ Republican lead turned into +5.

Correction: my numbers were close, but the spending makes it even wilder.

Someone needs to tell him that coke is fucking deader than dead, and that heroin's come back in a big fucking way.
Also, this is the guy that was CEO of Massey Energy, a viciously bad coal company, and he served jail time for what he did there.

Yea I stopped reading that after noticing some of the language he was using. Democrats bring over taken by billionaire class .... ok sure .... but he acts like republicans or our government in general hasn’t?

Gladly read a legit analysis on the above topic but that read like a Rachel Maddow monologue

WTF, man. That's the opening salvo, but it's demonstrably false.
