Excellent article, coming from Maureen, I must say.
We should be encouraging her if this is her viewpoint. Maybe she’ll come over to our side.
Than again, maybe not. But if she can write this, I say let’s give her a huzzah.
The link says it was written by her brother Kevin.
Actually her right-thinking brother deserves all the praise; he wrote the majority of this. I’m somewhat heartened by the fact that even this out-of-touch New York liberal has a decent conservative family to go home to.
I agree with and am in shock that Dowd would write such an article.
Check it again. I did, because I couldn’t believe that that hack could suddenly have started to see the election for what it was.
And she didn’t. That excerpt is the beginning of a letter sent to her by somebody else. That’s “her” column today.
This is an annual column written by her brother Kevin, a conservative.
She didn’t write it. Her brother wrote it.
She is doing what many of the introspective in media are doing. Not so much “How did we get it wrong?” as much as “How did we lose contact with these former Democrats?”
The ones with principles will conclude . . . well, I’m not going to become conservative, but these former Democrats who voted Trump can certainly be brought back to the light, and that must be our goal.
Those without principles will decide to pander to the new Trump Democrats and try to get their vote by looking like Trump but not sounding like him.
I’m not sure from the formatting, but it seems as if her brother Kevin wrote most of it, and she just quoted him.
Still, huzzah. But then, I’ve always thought she was kinda hot ;-)
Read the link. Her BROTHER wrote hat part.
She was quoting her brother, Kevin, in the article. Those weren’t her words.
Absolutely stunning coming from Modo.
She seems to have a had a real epiphany.
I believe Maureen's conservative brother Kevin wrote the bulk of the content for that article. Maureen apparently only wrote the italicized intro...
It is not written by Maureen. It is written by Kevin her brother and the sane one in the family.
Well, here is what Kevin, an affluent, educated suburbanite, has to say in his column, titled an “Election Therapy Guide for Liberals”:
Apparently you didn't read this part of the article.
Maureen did not write this. She put it in her column but if you read the whole thing from back when it was put out, her brother wrote it. Apparently Dowd’s family are conservatives/Trumpites. At Thanksgiving when she went home, they had Trump Champagne and toasted several times for her benefit. LOL
My mother was Irish, she hated Republicans until she died. She hated Obama so badly she Registered as an Independent.
She was mortified that me and my brother are Republicans, Mo will never change.
Once an Irish woman makes up her mind not even the threat of eternal damnation will change it.
Maurine didn’t write the article. It was written by “Kevin, an affluent, educated suburbanite”, and she republished it as a response to Krugman’s miserable, whining tweets.
Still, hat’s off to her for publishing it. No doubt she is still a liberal, but not as braindead or insane as most. She’s kind of like this liberal guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLG9g7BcjKs
This article was written by Mo’s brother, Kevin. Smart guy, his sister got the elitist snot gene in the family.
Good article, flows nicely!
“Excellent article, coming from Maureen, I must say. We should be encouraging her if this is her viewpoint.”
That’s not her point of view. For some reason seanmerc chose to excerpt the part of her article that quotes her excerpt of an article written by her brother Kevin.
