I like Murphy, but the country needs a national Anger Translator and he’s not that guy. Love the idea of Murphy or Van Hollen as Majority Leader though

Doug seems like a decent guy. Can’t blame him for not wanting to put his family through all that again (as much as I’d love to have him as First Dude).

True, and he's also attacking along lines that way too many consultant-brained Dems have shyed away from, and which resonate with voters. It's awesome to finally hear a major candidate come right out and ask "WTF is up with all the Nazis in your home and office?"

That was the general thinking after the California Republican Party imploded post Pete Wilson. No sign of them swinging back in the years since, though. Now we just get Spencer Pratt and wannabe AM talk radio blowhards.

Wow. The blunt truths are SUCH a relief to hear. As horrible as it all is, it’s like I can finally catch my breath, just by hearing a politician bluntly say them out loud.

Oh, c'mon. Fetterman sucks, but buying corporate bonds from a large tech company that sells servers to a gazillion customers and framing it as a "Trump Accounts" thing? That's just shitty tabloid reporting.

Ossoff is probably doing it the best, but I've been gratified to see a number of Dem candidates reading the room and straight-up calling their opponents corrupt, racist shitbirds this cycle. The dueling clips with the GA and MI debates tonight have been great.

Oh, god. Please tell me that's a misquote or is missing relevant context. Aside from ignoring the large number of people getting paid large sums to do exactly that, the implication that anyone can accurately research what swing or low-propensity voters might care about 2+ years out is...something.

Interesting to see how much Reagan's stock has fallen over time. 20 years ago he was still Saint Ronnie and even most Dems wouldn't criticize him. And JFK has to be just pure vibes and faux nostalgia, right?

Color me skeptical that partnering with Steve Bannon and guys like Tegmark & Yud counts as being ahead or out front of anything. We need better leadership across the board on this issue. Nobody on the national political scene is covering themselves in glory right now.
