OT the PIT - reincarnation

Why bother learning to vote in Russian after what happened in Iowa and West Virginia the last couple weeks? It’s becoming “Whose suffrage is it anyway?” Where the candidates are made up and the votes don’t matter.

Can you imagine the media circus if a GOP operative reacted this way to a G A Y candidate?

This article does a good job of explaining where the usual suspects came from:

Launched ahead of the 2018 midterms, Acronym was described initially as a “digital-first startup” (in the words of Axios), co-founded by McGowan and Michael Dubin, the founder of the men’s grooming company Dollar Shave Club whom you might recognize from their ads. McGowan, who previously worked as the digital director of the Obama and Clinton-affiliated Super PAC Priorities USA Action, was able to bring in money for Acronym’s affiliated political action committee Pacronym from a variety of well-known wealthy Democratic funders, including the billionaires George Soros and Marsha Laufer.

I dont get why the DNC would put themselves in this position.

Because they’re blinded by Clinton partisanship...

I thought the republicans with the tea party fringe was going to have the fragmentation leading to the next true three party era in the United States, but the establishment has done a good job of reigning in the fringe over the last 8 years. The DNC would do well to distance themselves from any of the Clinton cronies but they haven’t learned and are relying on the population density of the west coast and northeast to recite their “but we’re more popular” mantra.

Sadly, Mike Bloomberg might be their best chance against Donald Trump in the fall even though he will likely alienate the vocal far left. Bloomberg, just because of his media presence, has the greatest chance of reeling in undecided voters of the remaining field. Everyone else has too much of a track record of pandering to the vocal far left to attract enough centrist 34-44 year olds from swing states.

It’s quite amusing how, for whatever reason, Donald Trump has managed to get the republicans in lockstep. Mr. Trump can break an actual law, have his attorneys admit to it during his impeachment trial and still face no repercussion. Yes, withholding appropriations is illegal. Breaking that law in this instance doesn’t, in my opinion, warrant removing Mr. Trump from office.

Here Newsom smelled a mighty opportuity to "spend money on research".

Democratic strategist James Carville expressed his concerns as the Democratic primary race is officially underway, saying he's "scared to death" of the direction his party is going.

Appearing on MSNBC, Carville began by pointing to the success Democrats had during the 2018 midterm elections and stressed that it "matters" who the candidates are and what the party chooses to talk about.

"I'm 75 years old, why am I here doing this? Because I'm scared to death, that's why," Carville exclaimed. "Let's get relevant here ... all the Sanders people are taking pictures wishing Jeremy Corbyn the best. ... I don't want to go down that path."

The former Clinton advisor slammed the press corps for going "AOC crazy" over its coverage of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and pointed to more moderate candidates like former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who he noted "got a lot of votes" in Iowa.

We've got to decide what we want to be. Do we want to be an ideological cult? Or do we want to have a majoritarian instinct to be a majority party?" Carville continued. "What we need is power, you understand? That's what this is about. Without power, you have nothing. You just have talking points."

Carville, who previously endorsed Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., for president, insisted that Democratic donors "will not give a popsicle to the DNC" with the current state of the 2020 field.

I don’t blame this guy. He lost a daughter. I blame Nancy for inviting him.
