When you’re looking to Moscow Mitch for decency and bipartisan healing, you are well and truly fucked.

“tactically?”. How about vigorously, repeatedly, constantly, undeservedly, etc. etc. etc.?

Republicans just want to keep their options open. That said, they’d prefer cheating their way to victory to fighting their way to victory.

In other news, a tree fell in the forest.

Seriously, does anybody really care what Schumer calls for at this point? Why waste his breath and our time?

The duo advised McConnell to launch similar discussions in the Senate to get ahead of potential uncertainties.

I’ll hold my breath waiting for that to happen. #moscowmitch is perfectly happy to ignore this advice and I hope to all that’s holy that he is the loser next November 3rd. Probably won’t happen, but I’ll settle for him becoming Minority Leader again as a consolation prize.

It’ll be edited to “Socialist leaders’” elsewhere. Fair and balanced!

My hope is McConnell reads this letter while walking into traffic.

Yes, maybe Sanders and Schumer had this higher purpose in mind.
