By Michael Tomasky thedailybeast.com — OUR PLATFORM AIN’T STRONGIt’s not just Sanders and the electability question. The whole field, while all of them seem like good, dedicated people, has disappointed. BEAST INSIDENew Hampshire is voting. I remember when this used to be an exciting day. Even if my candidate didn’t win, which he (they were all men) usually didn’t, I loved both the reliable rituals and the unexpected little accidents.
New Hampshire is voting. I remember when this used to be an exciting day. Even if my candidate didn’t win, which he (they were all men) usually didn’t, I loved both the reliable rituals and the unexpected little accidents. If memory serves (the video doesn’t seem to be online), I recall Illinois Senator Paul Simon saying during his concession speech in 1988 that “our platform is strong”—right before the riser he was standing on collapsed.
Well, it’s not exciting now. It’s depressing. I’m depressed. Almost everybody I know, every Democrat anyway, is depressed. It’s a mess. Iowa was a shitshow and shouldn’t be first anyway. New Hampshire shouldn’t be second, it’s totally preposterous, yet the party lacks the stones to tell these self-important, second-tier states to go stuff it. The candidates don’t look like winners. The party looks like it might be headed toward a face-off between a billionaire and a man who wants to ban billionaires, neither of them really Democrats.
And Donald Trump is going to be re-elected.

Is the Daily Beast baned here???...
The democrats are really depressed or is this normal..
Are MAGA Hats flying off the shelves?
Quick...let’s sell them a bridge.
L
Yes. Yes, he will.
Embrace the suck. :)
Time to focus even harder on a massive turnout for Trump and our Congressional candidates.
Bad link.
This is a permalink.
The best thing Dems can do is protest by NOT voting this year.
Am I naughty to be smiling at dreams of that actually happening to the current group of America hating socialists, preferably while they are wearing nooses around their necks?
Go ahead, Mr Tomasky. Jump. Happy landing.
Really, now??? Bernie is a commie and by definition. evil. Warren is a phony serial liar and a closet commie. Biden is a political kleptomaniac, stealth pedophile and practices serial sexual harrassment. Don't know much about Klooby other than she takes the usual immoral leftist positions. Bloomy is a filthy rich, aspiring dictator (remember limiting your freedom to buy the size soda you wanted. What else will he demand that you do?) who is trying to buy the election. Butt-plug . . . well . . . enough said.
From my viewpoint, they are an exceptionally awful bunch.
All of the Democrat candidates are weak. What’s going on right now is haggling over which one is the least weakest to face Trump for a punchers chance. We have a good economy with a incumbent president running for re-election with accomplishments in hand, that’s tough to beat in any election notwithstanding that a elected President has never been defeated in re-election only 4 times in past 100 years and all of them except one were because of economic issues; Teddy Roosevelt ran and split the votes which assured Wilson over Taft
Not all bridges are covered, go for it

At least Muckrack is outed as a DNC talking point manure spreader.
too bad
embrace the suck
If the Democrats do not have a good day today in New Hampshire the Democrat Party will soon die off politically...killed by its own flesh & blood (Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, etc....human scum and vermin that they all are!!!
Has Mr. Tomasky heard of #Walkaway?
Watched the ritual last night at Midnight when the “five” Residents if that small NH Town are the first to Vote.
Doomberg got three Votes, one write in on the GOP Ballot and two write ins on the Rat side.
The Fox Host interviewed one of these Geniuses, not asking who they Voted for. She did ask why he thought Doomberg got three Votes. He responded, Climate Change and the Deficit.
He went on to say the Kids in his Household thought those were the two big issues in the Election.
Another reason I won’t count our Chickens until the day after the November Election. People are frigging insane.
