Boy, the fallout from the Ned Lamont victory, which has doooooomed Democrats this November, continues.

6. Helps to explain all the GOP hysteria of late.

Like what happens when you turn on the light in a room full of cockroaches...they don't exactly stand there calmly ready to engage you in debate.

Not that I ever experienced a roomful of cockroaches, at least not in my house...
