Noel is one of the good ones at AT, with Widburg and Cashill.

But his analysis here is shortsighted. The Democrats understand EXACTLY what they are doing. They do not care what electoral consequences there are, despite the obvious risks.

Noel should be asking WHO is controlling the Democrats, and WHY the controllers are indifferent to the electoral consequences. Instead, Noel gets bogged down in the conventional political analysis of the charade, the kabuki show. That analysis gets us nowhere, because it is beside the point.

And ironically (and unwittingly IMO) that analysis serves to confirm and perpetrate the charade.

Exactly. And in many ways this type of analysis seem to be the standard response....as if it's scripted. The thought is "Democrats are dumb so vote for Democrats who seem to agree with us more (i.e. Hawaii babe forgot her name) or vote for Republicans. Columnists like this ARE part of the problem. There's no way they can't see what's happening. Heck Rush Limbaugh saw it and talked about it all the time. He called Obama from the get go and trumpeted it for years. Either way the REAL agenda and the real puppet master stay hidden from the public.
