Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[....] Let’s try to put our arms around how dangerous Biden, Beto, or Biden-Beto would be for Trump.
The Trump theory of reelection is essentially this:
- He starts out 3 million votes in the hole.
- He gets lucky and draws a challenger who is either a radical leftist, deeply unlikeable, or both.
- He holds his 2016 states with similar margins.
- Maybe he flips New Hampshire.
That’s it. That’s the plan. The guy with the approval rating that’s never gone over 46 percent in the RealClear average and who is at -10 approve/disapprove on his good weeks doesn’t have a lot of options. Trump hanging tough and maybe splitting the popular vote close to even and eking out another Electoral College victory is the best-case scenario for Republicans [....]

I'm sure he brews this stuff by the barrel. Of course it didn't help for Bernie's campaign aide to talk about Jewish "dual allegiance" in "backing up" Ilhan.
But what is this shit? You get a wave of new women and minorities in Congress, and it's supposed to be seamless? Fuck them. AOC once again did a bang-up job with Wilbur Ross. Another congresswoman tore into the Consumer Protection head cuz she couldn't tell her *roughly* the ARP on a $20 fee/$20 interest charge for a 2 week $200 emergency payday loan (spoler: roughly 500%). Another Trump official got ripped up cuz he couldn't give any useful answers. I might prefer they scream less and follow AOC's lead, but at the same time it helps for common people see them holding these motherfuckers' feet to the fire.
Yet someone's going to focus only on one supposed anti-semitic statement (did same people fret over Bibi saying this week that non-Jews in Israel mean nothing? Pshaw.)
