Just got the fax from Sluzhba vneshney razvedki Rossiyskoy Federatsii, trying to work it in.
These people – from any political party – should be confronted with the facts as often as possible, not in the expectation that they will answer with only truth, but just as a means of keeping on the pressure – on the theory that discomfort can make their lying less smooth, which would be a public good.
“proxy” must be the new buzz word in troll world.
This is a slow-pitch softball question for a sycophant like McDaniel.
“The Senate is very tough. There are a couple senators I can’t really get involved in. I just can’t do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can’t help some of them…"
I hate to break it to Donnie, but those Senators are where they are because of the help his policies have lent them.
Ah, to live in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
And these ‘donor’ folks can’t see that there’s no profit in underwriting an extended stay?
Kinda makes me miss TPM’s infamous “sock puppet” from a few years back. It was like playing a whack-a-troll for a while there.
College Republicans went coed right about the time of Title IX.
Also, the line is shorter on the GOP side.
THIS Troll pops up in dire GOP situations, usually
Same place they get their nasty, spiteful men.
Eh, party staff are party staff. Asking about if they think they’re losing and treating the response as newsworthy is just plain pointless. Like asking a team coach in public before a match if he thinks his team will lose. No coach in their right mind would answer straight.
Silly topic.
Even though she’s a despicable liar, telling this particular lie is basically her job.
I’m almost sure we’re saying the same thing.
Possibly my comment took it a little further, but not much!
Yeah, although it’s practically political spin malpractice as by such standards the whole Trump operation is outright treason (which some of it may be, but you’d expect them to avoid own-goal type arguments… although in writing that I realize most of Trump’s campaign has been scoring own goals this year).
Country clubs.
I’m not sure why anyone is taking Crazy Uncle Don’s judgement on the race for the Senate as useful when he also thinks the Repubs will take the House.
I really haven’t seen too many scenarios where he was correct about much of anything. Anyone have any examples where I’d want to go along with his choices?
Dems need to push hard regardless of what these folks think. Finish the deal.
To be honest though - if you’re trying to convince Republican donors to keep throwing cash in your direction, you don’t say “Don’t worry, I’ve got this.” Instead, you pitch the idea that you’re doomed without a very generous infusion of cash.
It’s probably more telling that trump said there are some Senators he wouldn’t mind seeing go - a way to spin losing Republican seats in the Senate as not being all that bad…
Yeah - it’s like being a team coach. Dem Party coach would say the same thing. If you’re the Coach you’re not doing your team any good if you go out and say “we’re in for an ass whoopin, we’re losing big on this one.” Maybe for the planners but not out loud to the public!

Well your comment went on about holding feet to the fire etc. - and if it were about policy or substance fine - but about “is your team about to get thumped”? Come on… it’s pretty silly. Maybe slightly entertaining in a kind of “laugh at the kid stuck in the embarrassing situ way” but not really otherwise useful.
Ask the soulless bitch about Covid19 and Trump policy and the Veep situ, now that’s both fun (as in laugh at the kid…) and useful.
I have higher standards for women. Silly me.

Trouble with that is, people don’t want to waste their money on the loser.

Agreed (as amended).
