Yesterday, Joe Scarborough said he thinks Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan need to withdraw their endorsements of Trumpy-the-Clown and tell their members to do likewise. "He's so self consumed, it's just breathtaking... You've got to cut him loose." Watch that video up top of the segment; it's pretty remarkable for a center-right show like Morning Joe.
They're not seeing this as a "lesser of two-- or even three-- evils" election because they see overwhelming evil on both sides of the aisle-- and everywhere else. They want to re-litigate the "murder" of Vince Foster and talk about Hillary's "aggressive" lesbianism. I mean we're talking about the real brainwashed crazy here. But ... don't you want to hear what the whack-job libertarians are talking about? Some of it has grains of truth, you know.
Last night Russ Feingold's campaign sent an e-mail to his followers saying that "Donald Trump just encouraged Russia to commit cyberattacks against Americans... Trump held a press conference on national security that reaffirmed just how truly dangerous he is-- and utterly unfit to be the president of the United States." He's the law and order candidate? That actually sounds illegal.
Team Hillary despises progressives even more than they hate progressive ideas. So, sure, they've done a piss-poor job of reaching out to Democrats and independents who were animated by Bernie's revolution.
Terry McAuliffe is a long time crooked operator from the corporatist wing of the Democratic Party. Don't ask how I put myself in this awkward position, but Dick Gephardt once tricked me into shaking hands with him.

In remarks from the Democratic National Convention stage applauded by big media, Sarah Silverman lauded the Democratic Party primary process as "exemplary."I guess that's why she's a comedian.Perhaps she doesn't know who Debbie Wasserman Schultz is.
"What is truly revealing is [Antonio Sabato Jr.'s] implication that believing something to be true is the same as its being true. Because if anything, that was the theme of the Republican Convention this week. It was a four-day exercise in emphasizing feelings over facts."-- John Oliver, on last Sunday's Last Week Tonightby KenIs it possible for one and the same person to be the one who talks a would-be jumper out onto the ledge and the one who gives him the hope he needs to come back down from it?
Someone from Bernie's campaign says Hillary didn't steal the election. Stealing an election is different from 7 or 8 people on an e-mail thread. This some real misdirection there. She totally stole the election, state by state by state. She cheated in every state and people who pay attention and keep an open mind know it. As Matt Taibbi pointed out at Rolling Stone yesterday, "the primary season was very far from a fair fight.
