Icon Most disappointing thing about the Democrats....

is that they are totally lacking in effective creativity.  On top of that, I think they want others to do the heavy lifting for them (i.e. the husband of Kelly Anne's commercials). 

I still can't believe in this day and age that Biden's electronic messaging is with severe glitches. And someone Biden should think of hiring is Eric Alterman of The Nation.  He wrote an excellent book some years ago that showed the importance of tactics like "working the ref" - something the Dems are horrible at.

If the Dems lose in November, they should just pack it in.  Frankly, I am so sick and tired of the arrogance of the Democratic Party.  It is almost like they tell themselves that they are on the side of good, so all will win out - eventually and screw the everyday person so long as the fat cat Dems survive.  And look where we are at today.

I've said this over and over again - we have benefited nothing from the Clintons except dismal loss.  For Hilary Clinton to lose to Trump was purely due to her arrogance and hubris.  For her to completely ignore how the Republicans showed their playbook over and over again of how successful they were at turning utter bullshit into huge scandals. And this was PRIOR to her campaign even starting and for her to ignore that is proof of her arrogance and hubris.  From bullshit blow job scandals to birtherism and all the other idiotic things Bill Clinton did that just kept the ball rolling were ample examples to teach the Dems on what to do and what not to do.  I mean how fucking stupid can you be when for 8 years the Republicans turned everything the Clinton's ever did into nefarious conspiracies and NOT learn a goddamn thing from it.  Yes, the email server was complete horseshit, but when a person is already successfully portrayed as a scandalous person, you don't continue to give the other side ammunition. 

Really, if you look at Democratic presidential campaigns, they are filled with example after example of repeatable, self-inflicted injuries (and many of them go right back to fucking arrogance and hubris - take Dukakis and the Bernard Shaw death penalty debate question - when he was asked what he would do if Kitty Dukakis was raped and murdered he basically just inserted a political handgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.  Man, imagine if had said, "Well, most likely like almost any person, I would want to tear the son of a bitch's head off his shoulder and bury him."  No, he stuck to his bullshit hubris and arrogance thinking his "ideals" would rule the day and ended his campaign right there. 

Then, after his famous Snoopy tank ride what did Kerry do years later?  Yes, while being portrayed as an out of touch wealthy elite he is filmed fucking windsurfing! 

Or how about after watching Mitt Romney self-immolate with is 47 percent statement, does Hillary learn from that?  Oh, fuck no.  Hell, she didn't even learn from Obama's God and guns clingy statement and threw one out all of her on with her "deplorables" comment (yes, we Dems know what she was saying, but that was not the way to say it).

Anyway.....that's it...sorry for the rant....I'm just amped up from the possibly eventual blowing of an obviously winnable presidential election....
