89. It's the reality of the present time, my dear.

And BTW...reading comprehension might help you.

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratcandidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

But let's get back to the failed Blue Dogs and your praise of DNC Debbie and her 50 state losing strategy.
