    That being close to taking a majority is big news should be embarrassing. Should have been there to start with. Stop hyping up a failure, just do it.

      Especially given their opposition.

      Like. fuck me. We’re publicly making a martyr out of a terrorist because some women outran the SecDef and shattered his ego as masculine the drunken epitome of a fratboi who never left the frathouse; DoJ is raiding a congresswoman’s DC residence because of nebulous accusations that her father lied on immigration papers.

      This should be the easiest win in fucking history.

        Exactly what I meant. Not to show my age, but anyone else remember the punchline of the SNL skit of the Bush Sr./Dukakis debate? Dukakis is asked if he has a response to the stupid Bush lines being thrown out, and he says “I can’t believe I’m losing to this guy.”

        Except these days the Democrats are so not self-aware that they’re celebrating a win and shooting themselves in the foot doing it. Again.
