Senate 2018

Neither Will Hurd (R-TX) nor Pete Aguilar (New Dem-CA) are very popular in their districts and, frankly, neither deserves reelection. A Democrat is likely to beat Hurd, although the DCCC and the Castro Machine have its fingers on the scale for a worthless Blue Dog in South Texas. And it will take some time before a progressive is in position to primary Aguilar in the Inland Empire. They’re both useless back-benchers from overwhelmingly Hispanic districts and this week they co-sponsored a DACA compromise-- a “discussion draft” ahead of Trump’s January 19 deadline.

California state Senate president Kevin de León shot this video about Californians’ shared values about a year ago, when he was realizing Californians would be leading the resistance to Trump by moving forward with the policies progressives in the legislature had run on and were already committed to. On Sunday the NY Times featured de León, now the candidate taking on conservative Democrat Dianne Feinstein for the U.S.

You remember Michele Bachmann, right? She founded the congressional Tea Party caucus and is married to a bizarre closet case who used to advertise in gay magazines and in 2012 became-- along with Michele-- citizens of Switzerland.

As far as Orrin Hatch goes-- good riddance to a rotten and Trumpified piece of crap. As far as Romney… any enemy of Trump’s… Look, a Bernie Sanders clone we were never going to get in Utah.

A doddering fool, Hatch didn't understand the editorial was a put-down; he thanked the editorsOn Christmas Day, the Salt Lake Tribune, Utah’s biggest newspaper, named the state’s senior senator, Orrin Hatch, Utahn of the Year— and told him it’s time to retire.

Trumpanzee was yelling and screaming about fake polls again. It must be a conspiracy, though, because every poll from the right, the left and the nonpartisan ones say the same thing: Trumps the most reviled occupant of the Oval Office since the history of scientific polling.

If nothing else, please watch this 3 minute trailer for Trumping Democracy above-- and then send it to a friend.Now the good news: Voters across the country prefer a Democratic takeover over Congress next year by double digits-- 50-39%. That's huge.

Schumer has recruited 2 of the worst members of the House to run for the two most winnable 2018 Senate seats-- Kyrsten Sinema (AZ), actually the very worst Democrat in the House, and Jacky Rosen (NV), a pathetic non-entity. Only a wave good sweep garbage like those two worthless conservatives into the Senate. And Schumer is counting on just that. On the other hand, Schumer has worked hard to successfully recruit the most electable Democrat in Tennessee for a seat few thought the Democrats had any chance to win: popular and well-respected former governor, Phil Bredesen.

No wonder Señor Trumpanzee prefers Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, first elected to the Senate in 1976, to Mitt Romney.

The DCCC can't get anything right.
