Discussion: Chris Van Hollen To Head Senate Dems' Campaign Arm

This reads like a troll post, sorry.

Good post. Agreed.

I can see that, but it was honest consternation that one of the prime jobs of being an elected official is just getting re-elected and that doing good work doesn’t seem to be valued as much as one would hope. :\

Chris has been my Congressional Rep and he seems like a real person rather than a politician. He was head of the DCCC during a tough patch after Rahm Emanuel helped us take over the House. The key is building the party in all the states and not running national campaigns. That will take a while. Hopefully the country will have had enough of Trump by the mid-terms. Maybe Chris’s shortcoming is that he is a DC person through and through. One of the few who can go home every night, but he has had a very friendly district. A good soldier.

We hear you. We know you didn’t want to vote Trump but felt that you had no option. We know we let you down.

BULL

SHIT

Everyone, and I mean, everyone had an option. Those White Union members (the few who are left) voted for the White supremacist. Period. Didn’t have to, just did. No the Dem Party didn’t let these fools down; they let themselves down.

I volunteered for his first two House runs. His hair was much, much, darker then.

Decent man.

I think you’re confusing my proposed script with my private thoughts. You can’t win over the rust-belt whites by confronting them with their racism. Think, “Friends, Roman, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him,” and insert "Democrats’ for Caesar.

Not if they both voted for the auto bailout Obama pushed through his first year. That saved a lot of the middle class assembly line jobs that Tramp wanted to die by the bankruptcy of the US car companies and damn few GOPers supported.

And Dems can’t win over working class Whites when they’ve been losing their vote for the past 30+ years.

Progressives started on the plains of middle America.

What is most consistent about you is your give up attitude. We will never change anything if surrender at every opportunity remains the approach of the Democratic party.

I must admit your “failure is the only option” view of America is extaordinsrily representative of centrist Democrats.

What is most consistent about you is your insistence on displaying what a complete and utter moron you are. I have a give up attitude and surrender at every opportunity?? Dumbass, I was working 10-12 hour days, every single day for the past 3 months, while your happy ass was moaning and whining about your dream unicorn not arriving. Nor am I exaggerating here…you literally responded a few days ago that you DO dream about having an unicorn, and consider that one of your best virtues.

So…again. GFY. With some large, preferably sharp and repeatedly.

You sure haven’the learned a damn thing from Clinton loss.
