Also, it's partly Sam Seaborn talking, but something can't be "very unique" JARED

This thread helps me explain: Re: leaving out the social issues, I am not sure how I feel about that. I want those social issues to be front and center, but I guess we have learned that forcing them there has only divided the country more deeply, and we aren't changing anyone's mind. Maybe Schumer and Pelosi are right to sideline/downplay the social issues and focus on jobs/economic issues, and once they're back in power the social issues can just quietly get taken care of?

I feel like I want to cross-stitch a bunch of sampler-style definitions of Collusion and send them to various members of the admin.

But Her Emails! - Junior Edition But...he left Congress because there was nothing left to investigate with Benghazi. He could have stayed and started the millionth investigation.

The thing about the economic issues is that social justice warriors are not going to vote for Donald Trump. Under any circumstances. The DNC got into trouble when Trump was able to woo away disillusioned working class voters. We've been saying for months that the maligned WWC cost the democrats in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. They've been sold a bag of goods and when Trumponomics doesn't work out like he told them it would, they can possibly be brought back to our side. Trickle down economics hasn't, doesn't and won't work but the democrats weren't offering an equally attractive possibility. By laying out exactly how they want to improve the lives and financial security of "regular Americans," they're giving those voters something to grab on to. A lot of the "Make America Great Again" rhetoric is about restoring the American dream (for some people anyway), and the Democrats are giving a concrete plan for doing that. We'll lower your cable bills. We'll make sure you can afford to send your child to college, and we'll make sure your child can grow up to get a great job and make a good living if he doesn't go to college. We'll make sure you can afford a roof over your family's heads and that a predatory megabank won't give you a predatory ARM, then take your home away from you.
What I keep hearing over and over and over in these 2016 post-mortems is that many Trump voters DO care about social issues, but they are currently more concerned with putting food on their tables. It's not my personal hierarchy of priorities, but I think it's worth understanding.

Did you see the talk about Tillerson resigning? They're calling it Rexit.

I'm pondering them replacing sessions. No one in their right mind could hitch their wagon to the administration right now, right? So it would have to be someone already in the equation?
I guess applying common sense doesn't work, but I just can't imagine anyone else would want to get on the ship that looks like it's eventually going to sink.
EtA: holy metaphors, kitchen. Don't Monday without coffee ever again.

The mooch commuted via private jet this morning. It will always remain a mystery to me how Trump convinced middle America that he is a man of the people, and that the Democrats are the liberal elite. These people are rich as fuck. Meanwhile, Chris Murphy rides the bus on the regular to talk to constituents. He's not even as involved as HRC was as First Lady...

This comms team is such a mess. First Scaramucci said Trump is undecided on the Russia sanctions bill, then Sanders said he is on board, now she's back to him being undecided.

I cannot believe this is real life. I think he thinks he is at a campaign rally.
