Unfortunately, what is shows you is that Ed's only in it for the $$$ at this point (IF he already wasn't per Randi Rhodes assertions).

ANYBODY that can get behind a treasonous fat bastard like tRump needs their head examined. Ed's in need of a shrink.

To point out how people like Schultz and HA Goodman change their messages over time in order to profit off of the lowest common denominators on both side of the political spectrum.

But it's peachy keen to bash actual Dems here?

Because of “why can’t Democrats have a message” or some weird-ass bullshit like that.

I think with Ed, it's not guile. He's just not very bright and easily manipulated, and so cannot ever be trusted.

I watched all the time on MSNBC and loved it when he came to Wisconsin for the Walker recall. WTF happened?

with all these phonies. They built up a small bit of good will/cred here and there and then started delivering the anti-Democrat salvos.

Association with Russia Today means Foreign Agent registration.

I couldn't deal with him being touted out as a Democratic voice again in another election cycle. We can check him off as a tool and move on at this point.

But of course he can never go back, once he's crossed over.

I hate that he went this route. But it may have been the only offer. He wasn't famous and was out of a job.
