DWS and HRC need to own the Nov bloodbath...it has to be their legacy, so they'll always carry that burden.

A relief pitcher doesn't get the loss if they come in late in the game, and their team is behind. (IIRC)

It's fairly late in the game now, and will be definitely so by the time someone favoring a more progressive agenda can be put in place.

But the real deciding point is that she raised some serious dough for the establishment, and it's reasonable to think that those who forked it over want their money's worth.

P.S. Just googled it. https://baseballscoring.wordpress.com/site-index/winning-pitcher/

Huh.

Determining the losing pitcher is much easier. The pitcher who gave up the run that gives the opponent a lead they never relinquish is the losing pitcher.

One path is to leave her and the Third Way party, and the other path is to drive all Third Way OUT of the Democratic Party and reclaim it.

'unify' things?
And would that make this thread, this site, less divisive?

And it's a Discussion Forum. No need for discussion if everyone agreed. It's not the site or the participants that make this "divisive". It's the main players.
