‘Democrats Worry’ Is The New ‘Democrats In Disarray’

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

“Democrats in disarray” became such a staple of political journalism for a while that it eventually became a meme and enough of a source of ridicule that reporters began to become self-conscious about trotting out the stale plot device.

First. When I am scrolling through news aggregator sites like Yahoo and see “Dems Worry…” articles, I scroll right past them.

Thanks for not leading off with the Chinese Balloon or SOTU.

Has there been something in TPM about the vote to change the primary calendar that I missed?

“Democrats worry …”

Showing concern isn’t a bad thing, it beats the hell out of the mindless blustering the R party excels in.

Wonder if Trump is having a campaign rally the night of the SOTU? He’s not above doing it.

Perhaps we can replace “Democrats worry,” with “Republicans whine.”

Haven’t seen it…

Maybe we don’t like advertising stripping democrats of delegates because they have a Republican governor?

Until that balloon bubbled up the media had to go out and find news to report. Scary.
