The Dems still don't know what they are for. I don't know if only being Anti-45 will get them much past this year's election.

I'm willing to kick that can down the road for this year.

Just being for defending the Constitution seems better than the GOP.

The Dems will lose five seats in the Senate and gain 18 in the House.

Yes, the Dems have an uphill battle in the Senate.

But I think it's possible that if 45 doesn't modulate, Collins will switch. Especially when she doesn't get ANY of the promises the GOP made to her for her tax reform vote.

And the prognosis for Senator McCain is an uphill battle for him.

Arizona is definitely purple right now.

Here's how the Republican party is doing in Minnesota right now. They've been in debt for years, so the new chairwoman came up with a new idea - she's demanding a 10% cut of money donated to the party:

Campaign finance experts say the arrangement is unheard of in party politics.

Carnahan requested a $66,000 salary when she ran for chair in April 2017, saying that it’s “important to keep as much money in the party as possible,” according to notes from her presentation.

Apparently she feels differently now that she's got the job. But hey, this is the new face of politics, right? You pay your money, I get my percentage, you get your access. Nothing to be ashamed about, right?

She said the person responsible for her proposal being publicized “stabbed the party in the back.”

Oh. I guess they weren't quite ready for that rock to be looked under.

Well, Pres. Trump said he would make money running for president, why can't folks at the state Republican Party level be entitled to do the same.
