The Lovable Losers

It’s going to be a long eight years if Democrats really believe the path to redemption runs through that diner where former Kentucky governor Steve Beshear delivered the party’s official response to President Trump.

[...]

Democrats apparently believe that using characters like that as props is the way to win over a demographic they lost in November. It’s not. But don’t blame Beshear for that kind of simplistic, focus-group thinking. Blame the party that enlisted him.

[...]

Democrats have to accept that reality. Instead of preaching to the choir, they have to start listening to the disaffected. A photo-op in a Kentucky diner doesn’t change the basic credibility problem Democrats have on a fundamental issue: the economic survival of the non-elites. Until they fix that problem, it’s Trump’s America.

The only remaining reason for Perez’s entry and victory was simple: In defeating Ellison, the establishment wanted to rebuke the progressive wing and retain control of the party.

Therein lies Perez’s — and the party’s — biggest problem. The Democratic Party needs the progressive wing’s energy and new ideas if it is to recover. The hole is quite deep: Even if Hillary Clinton had squeaked out an electoral college victory, in the last 10 years Republicans gained both houses of Congress, 12 governorships and 850 state legislature seats. It’s fashionable to blame this entirely on President Barack Obama, but these across-the-board losses suggest the leadership issues run deeper. More than 800 state legislature seats lost is particularly remarkable in a such short period of time, something that could not have happened without institutional issues at multiple levels.

Waiting on a Democratic platform that goes beyond, "Dump Trump" ...
 
It's funny... the left would rather criticize the man for how he eats a steak, then support the lobbying the ban.

Elitism at its finest

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., who fired off one of the harshest criticisms of Attorney General Jeff Sessions over his meetings with a Russian ambassador, faced blowback herself Thursday when the senator's own tweets contradicted her claim that she never had met the ambassador.

"It's clear Attorney General Sessions misled the Senate — the question is, why? I’ve been on the Senate Armed Services Committee for 10 years, and in that time, have had no call from, or meeting with, the Russian ambassador. Ever."

McCaskill's statement that she never met with Russia's ambassador was immediately challenged by Charles C. Cooke, editor of National Review Online, a conservative news site. Cooke noted that McCaskill had tweeted about a 2013 meeting with Russia's top diplomat in the U.S.
 
i'm totally fine calling her a liar

one said it on twitter

the other is the attorney general and has history of being on the record of saying no one is above the law etc and then swore an oath to tell the truth and he ended up lying

does everyone get why they aren't equal?
 
What a joke the left gas become. They've done tremendous damage to themselves because they refuse to acknowledge the reality of the current day.

Exhibit A as to how the 'liar' label has become way too commonly applied.

Wait. Because it was said on Twitter we should lend it less credence?
Click to expand...

yes, i think lying on twitter is less worse than lying under oath

that this is somehow debatable is crazy
