Telling people to not care about women's access to basic healthcare because it might hurt the ballot is itself a bad strategy

Telling people they must share the same opinion about a single issue or have no voice in the party is is bad strategy as well.

Whatever happened to the Democratic Party embracing the "big tent" philosophy? It is getting more dogmatic as the years go by.

While the other side would vote for a dog that could bark "tax cut."

You are asking for the same thing, just a different dogma.

way back before the election I posted an article from Slate that talked about how Trump servers had this weird pinging back and forth with Alfa Bank
never heard much about it since then, except from those who were trying to debunk it but that one story always made me wonder

Today the New Yorker revisits the story

Because, "big tent" shouldn't include stupid-ass ideology. Why not have some flat-earthers in the party, or birthers? Let's be inclusive!

I have wondered about this off and on, especially since the server location was identified as very curiously Lititz, PA. If it were in Silicon Alley it could be easily dusted off, but it was pinging away from the heart of PA Dutch Country (which is anywhere near said PA Dutch people that you choose to spin a buck). Having spent quality time in Lititz... I have questions.

Thanks for posting that; good (if not long) read. There seem to be way too many connections to just be happenstance, yet, it was set up in a way to create plausible deniability. We can only hope that Mueller is close to the truth.

Trump is up 5 points in a new poll not from Rasmussen. Hes up to a historic low of 41. Where that can be cause for celebration, 5 points of momentum is close to 14% down there at the margin.

Trump from the South Lawn this morning:

“I think a lot of Democrats are going to vote Republican,”

Um, no they aren't.

"The main base of the Democrats has shifted so far left that we’ll end up being Venezuela. This country would end up being Venezuela.”

I heard the Venezuela comparison a few times over the weekend so I guess that is going to be the designated scare tactic heading into the mid-terms?

“I thought the way they behaved was absolutely atrocious,” Trump fumed. “I thought the way they conducted themselves, the way they dealt with a high-level, brilliant, going to be a great justice of the Supreme Court — the way they really tortured him and his family — I thought it was a disgrace. I thought — I thought it was one of the most disgraceful performances I’ve ever seen.”

You read correctly. The man caught on tape admitting to grabbing women by their vaginas is judging Democrats' behavior while try to make sure a serial sexual assaulter wasn't confirmed to a lifetime position in our government.

“It was all made up,” Trump said. “It was fabricated. And it is a disgrace.”

Two weeks ago, Trump had this to say,

“I thought her testimony was very compelling and she looks like a very fine woman to me, very fine woman,” Trump said of Ford while speaking to reporters on Friday. “It was an incredible moment I think in the history of our country,” he continued. “But certainly [Ford] was a very credible witness. She was very good in many respects.”

So which is it, Mr. President?

Pretty remarkable, Trump had gotten himself back to down to nearly his his lowest levels, with no bottom in sight, just four weeks ago, before the democrats managed to throw him enough meat to recover. timing certainly couldn't have been worse, though I haven't given up hope that left to his devices he'll manage to screw things up badly enough to return hope for the mid-terms..

Starting to thinks the polls don't mean much, they seem to be less revealing in the trump era.

Any new midterm polls? Anyone have faith the D’s will perform given the new surge of momentum for the Republicans?

I think this republican surge talk is scare tactics...from the democrats

Impressive work by the Dems to orchestrate public and private polling swinging toward the GOP as a scare tactic

They have come a long way from 2016 when they forgot Wisconsin was a state

McConnell admits he'll fill a seat if someone dies

They're going to kill Ginsberg. Literally.
