i understand fully, Hilary's premise that Sen Sanders hurt her candidacy.

Never have such words as .."Don't do as I do, do as I say" ring true.

His disparaging assertions, along with the media's abisimal and criminal coverage of her campaign, a 30 year drum beat to destroy her...piled on.

All his campaigning for her did not sway his ardent supporters.

Seasoned politicos fully know that words used as weapons matter..

It's all "them." My question is

what about "us?"

The GOP is sucking the air away from us at biblical proportions- have we turned into a
party of "crickets" ????

Please, I beg you, understand there are more of us, then them....

It's just...
We don't vote.
And
They do.
Consequently, they control the agenda.
Howard Dean is absolutely spot on.
We do NOT need conservative, anti choice, candidates.

We need to vote. So sick of hearing about the Trump voters "standing by their man."
They are getting waaaay too much coverage...given their numbers.

How the fuck do we get people to under stand that they do not need to be in love with a candidate...they need to recognize that the damage Trump has done with SCOTUS Gorsuch is done. Damage for decades. Even is Trump goes to jail...it will not matter because he had the last laugh.

Does anyone get it?

Is there a straw that will break the camel's back?

All it takes is one....

The "Mooch" talks and talks and talks....he loves the sound of his own voice.

Watch this space boys and girls!! He WILL stick his foot in his mouth and it WILL be a huge problem for the Trumpsters....I'm betting the house, first born and grandchildren. H is so riding high on his ego and over confidence he will stumble...badly.

58% of registered voters in the Ossoff/Handel race, voted.

Some people might get excited at a 58% turnout. Not me.

With all the analysis, words and opinions expressed about that election, the most disturbing to me is, why don't people vote.

All that money spent...perhaps the most costly congressional race ever...garnered 58% turnout.

Discussion on Chuck Todd is centered on "how safe do members of congress feel!"

Outrageous!!!

How dare they discuss more security for them and their families on the tax payer dole!
I sure as hell DO NOT want to see them get protection from gun violence.

Nope. No way.

They want protection....change the f**ing gun laws or live like your constitutants have to day in and day out...

Somebody please!

I am enormously sad, and well beyond the prayers and thoughts stage.

Everything every reasonable public servant has done to mitigate gun violence in this country has been rebuffed and marginalized.

Those shot today are no different, nor more worthy, than all other shooting victims.

While very sorry, my feeling is a shallow "nothing to see here, move on."

The shoting porn being perpetrated by cable news, ad nausum, will likely knock Sessions out of the
lede. Mean while every Republician coveting a microphone will keep the shoting balloon in the air, and milk it to no good end.

It is so depressing that it is unbelievable.
