On MoJoe they were discussing vetting candidates better, etc. and what could they do to make

the repubs more appealing. Ridding themselves of Grover Norquist and Rove would be a great start. What has Grover contributed except hate and divisiveness, always thinking he's smarter than the other guy. Karl is just plain "out of the loop" with his "numbers" schtick, etc. These two should be shown the door, asap.

...and the ones that rate highest on the "nothing but hot air" index, treat them like something you scrape off your shoe.

If you want better vetting, maybe there should be some consequences to being wrong all the time. That doesn't happen in big-time political punditry, and obviously it's causing problems.

Just a thought.

interact with an imaginary America. Not only do they not understand liberals, they don't understand their own damn voters. They are clueless. They ran the worst possible candidate for their own base. Idiots who don't even know their own.

forgiving and humble. That's what they have to do.

"There but for the grace of God . . ." is what they need to remind themselves.
