He will accept.


This is a terrible idea and a trap.

We won’t win but it’s gone from +73R on e-day to around +33R tonight with 48% precincts reporting.

5000 people would have a much easier time than Tankman

That Nunes altered his memo.

God I hope this is true.

That was actionable against McCabe.

Could be nefarious on a Wray’s part, or McCabe’s part or simply misleading enough to cause the FBI headaches.

(On edit Since some people can’t suss out these several options here they are in detail)


I’ll clarify the options for your benefit

1) It’s possible Wray is a bad actor.
2) It’s possible McCabe is a bad actor. If so it’s probably a paper handling level error but one the Rs can demogogue. Have to acknowledge the possibility
3) It’s also possible that entirely disingenuous allegations are more trouble than its worth for the FBI.

Think of this has a hostage negotiation. There were two hostages, CHIP and DACA. One hostage is now freed.

We haven't WON. But we are in a slightly better negotiating position than we were 24 hours ago.


Of course McConnell will renege somehow on the DACA vote. And DACA's chances in the House were always slim.
But we have two weeks to make our political case on this.

I’m not even sure what he did wrong here? Had a consensual relationship with someone while separated from his wife?

Even if he wasn’t separated from his wife at the time, whoever leaked these photos should see jail time.

This, at least, is good news.

That's it, really. I don't think there is any other reason. The one thing that unites most Republicans, well, it isn't tax policy. And it isn't racial resentment. It isn't even hating "the gays".

It's that they like to see Democrats lose. It's a trip for them. The idea that Democrats might celebrate, might be on top for once, is too much for many of them to tolerate.
