Discussion: Terry McAuliffe To Dem Who Tanked Medicaid Expansion: 'I Hope You Sleep Easy Tonight, Buddy'

Discussion for article #230504

Ouch, but I have to wonder if the fact that he was screwing over so many people even computed to this guy. For statements like that to even have any effect on a person, you have to already start out with a sense of shame.

Good. McAuliffe may be slimy, but I’d happily take a few more dirty fighters amongst the D’s.

Exactly right.

Being directly responsible for the torment and pain of tens of thousands of needlessly suffering souls might just cause more than missing a few nights’ rest.

The fact it was essentially a money deal makes it all the more discomfiting.

Liked, in part, except that he’s not that slimy… if he was he wouldn’t
have the votes to be where he is.

McCauliffe’s certainly among the new crew of former backseat drivers who actually took the wheel and ran for an office, and he wouldn’t be capable of that if he was one of the real slimeballs.

What do you expect when a gang of mindless, soulless, zombie republican politicians is hell bent
on totally destroying everything? Oh, lets upbraid them for being soooooooo nasty. Riiiiiiiight!

Good. It’s so easy for men it seems to deny others what they are privileged to have obtained themselves. He should fee shame, but I am quite sure he does not.
Good for McAuliffe.

I never thought T-Mac had it in him. I was wrong. Good on him for fighting back and getting ugly with that sh*thead.

What’s the punch line? Did the Republicans give Puckett a state job in exchange for his vote?

Did his daughter get her judgeship?

Is she ashamed of how she got her job?

Does she have any ambition to do more in the future?

Yeah, did he get his thirty pieces of silver?

I agree with you. We need more like McCauliffe.

I don’t know why you didn’t think he had it in him. Apparently you weren’t aware of his role in the Clinton Administration. McCauliffe is a fighter and I personally like him

Good. I’m not a huge fan of McAuliffe either, but Puckett should be strung up by his toes and flayed Bolton-style.

Edit: Yes, that’s a GOT reference haha.

Excellent. It is high time DINOs like Puckett are confronted. The same should be done in the Senate with Manchin and others.

I don’t know much about McCauliffe, except that the Beltway pundits sneered that he was a poor candidate. The Beltway pundits are always right.

Phil Puckett to Terry McAuliffe.

Yep he did. More specifically his daughter did. I don’t know whether McAuliffe could have done so, but revoking her nomination to be a state judge would definitely have been the right thing to do. Instead they all, including Mark Warner, kept wringing their hands to see if there was some other way they could patronize the Princess Puckett (who is not even all that well qualified to be a judge of any kind). (IMHO, that’s why senate election was as close as it was – Warner’s discussions broke in the three weeks prior to election.)
