@Zigmanfreud I personally believe not being up for the job was the biggest factor in all this and everyone’s celebration or panic over what was going to happen was just a distraction.
@LPDonovan That every new scandal goes back to “See?! He knew what the tattoo was!” Is a big reason it’s not fatal, no one really believes he didn’t know so it actually doesn’t hurt him because it’s old news. Plus many of his critics being past bad behavior defenders helps too.
@JayCaruso They hate Collins because she’s often the deciding vote, she’d have been irrelevant and likely went with the majority fewer times in important situations if the majority was that big. And if you note I agreed with you just pointing out they really do hate her.
@LPDonovan Most of the time I see this stuff and think the standard “this person is bad because they told me something I didn’t like” then you get a little deeper and you realize it’s part of a deeper theme they’ve embraced.
@RadioFreeTom Credentials are good if you are always willing to tell your audience what they want to hear. Like going to a doctor and he just agrees with what your google search told you.
@Zigmanfreud One of the worst things to happen to journalism is reporters becoming the story as opposed to the reporting. You went to work, did your job, you don’t need a week about your talent and ability to withstand hardship. Even if you did sympathize with them it’s exhausting to watch.
@LPDonovan The problem facing Mills, besides all the reasons that got her to this point in the first place, is she’d have to risk pretty significant humiliation for a long shot last ditch effort and she hasn’t exactly shown a willingness to go all out.
@LPDonovan The focus on filling a specific mold is how you end up with it spilling all over the place. Also can’t dismiss how bad things get anytime Sanders pops up. Letting him through that door is really the gift that keeps giving.
@LPDonovan Contact is just not good for you, especially when you have to blow up most of your core public identity to do so, which the other side loves. The only people having a good day are your biggest critics.
