That's why I'll listen to chastened Republicans like this guy on campaign strategy suggestions, and I welcome the brilliant Biden ads put out by never Trumpers like the Lincoln Project.

Was just thinking last night the the polls look so good that it will be tempting to "skate". What if they ARE being manipulated too? Man, that makes me sound like a paranoid kook doesn't it? But yes, that thought has entered my mind.

We can't let up until the GOP is totally defeated. Any race that is even close will be one they may try to steal. We can't let that happen.

He's right, of course, but usually when calling him right, we tend to think of "far right."

But he's not wrong here, so as long as this is the line he is spouting, spout away.

Take nothing for granted, and don't forget the downticket candidates.

posts here in 2016, and a general attitude of treating criticisms of the campaign's tactics as "concern trolls" when it was clear there were glaring red flags staring us in the face as early as that Spring. I sadly saw a similar attitude here with supporters of certain candidates in this past Primary which was obviously unjustified as well.

I get blasted pretty much universally when I point out the dangers of taking a November win for granted.

Incumbents receive extraordinary benefit of a doubt. The states we need to win are not particularly favorable from a demographic standpoint.

It is going to be very close. I always prefer logic above polls, especially this far out.

station had Walsh on.

He was 100% blasting Trump and he lost most of his audience.


He was relentless.


He also apologized about what he said about Obama.


I respect the new Joe Walsh, just can't quite believe it.
