Psst, Editor - “Kentucky Democrat” says what???
Hey TPM!!! Harry Reid is from Nevada, not Kentucky. You must have blind-folded monkeys for editors.
Kentucky Democrat!?! FFS, TPM, get it together!!!
Never fold your blind monkeys!
Waiting for the inevitable “Mitch McConnell (D-KY)” chyron.
There are NO copy editors or prooof readers at TPM…that tradition went out with about 1000 newpapers in America that no longer exist.
As I’ve always said: “Harry Reid is a badass!”
That’s gonna hurt.
So who should deliver the GOP response?
Jeff Sessions?
Steve King?
Franklin Graham?
The Kentucky Democrat warned that Trump’s rhetoric
This is indicative of some pretty shabby organization. If you let typos and loose HTML go, eventually they grow into whole sentence fragments.
Hey everyone. This was my post. Another editor read it. As you can see, I mention McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, in the next paragraph, and swapped the state IDs mistakenly while getting the post up.
We always appreciate reader corrections but just a reminder that we publish dozens of stories a day in a field where speed is critical. Sometimes mistakes happen and we fix them as soon as they’re identified. We aren’t trying to bankrupt the tradition of journalism.
Thanks.
Harry Reid could take out the Donald with one punch, which I would pay to see. But I’ll settle for more floor speeches like this. Hit him again, Harry. HARDER.
Trump: “That’s it, Reid! No more press credentials for you!”

We don’t want you to “try” to bankrupt the tradition. We want you to practice it with a bit of thinking and actual reading of your copy before publication.
When I was in junior high school, I was taught to always read my composition completely before handing it in. When I was on a high school newspaper staff, I was taught to read my report before turning it in. When I went to college, the same rule applied, and then it was handed to a proof-reader/copy editor.
Evidently you didn’t learn to do that anywhere along the line to your fine career as a “journalist”.
I’ve done this kind of stuff myself for a long time and I know pobody’s nerfect. And maybe it bears mention now and then that this is a popular and influential website, and every time we show up and read stuff we’re acknowledging that. Keep up the good work—it’s appreciated even if we don’t say so often enough. 
Agreed. This is my go-to site every day, several times a day. I do kinda miss the heavy-trolling days. Sometimes. Okay, not really.
“How do you look your son or daughter in the eye and explain that a man running for president is telling your classmates to be suspicious of you, to doubt your loyalty to this country based upon your religion?” Reid asked.
I remember in the 5th grade we all had a classmate that liked hockey. Why the authorities failed to intervene troubled many of us.And never fold your monkeys while blind.
Give 'em hell, Harry. They need to start listening to the other side of the aisle for once.
Geez. Lighten up, Francis.
