92. Again you project

May 2016

At no point in this thread or ever have I praised Debbie. Quite the oposite time and again I have said how her failure to support the 50 state strategy of Deans lead to democratic loses yet you keep trying to twist that to support of Debbie.

My guess is that it is because you are so lost in your ideological defense of sanders you can't think of anything past your hate of anything not sanders.

I am quite content with either of our candidates, I have no dog in this race. I am certainly not a fan of Debbie. That doesn't mean i don't see right past the complete BS of that quote.

I find it quite amusing that when presented with the direct evidence of how that quote failed almost immediately you now try to cling to the idea that while it didn't work then it works now.

Except I can point to all sorts of cases of where it falls flat on it's face in recent elections the easiest to point out is the Tea party primary destruction they have wrought on their own party following that same twisted logic. Richard Lugar is a perfect example of the base choosing the pure republican over the republican light Dick Lugar using that same thought process only to see the candidate they chose over him fail miserably in the general.

This quote is priceless in the context of that truthy quote of yours.

Donnelly has said that he will continue the “common-sense Hoosier tradition of Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh.”[35] Matt Tully praised him for his willingness to reach across the aisle.



Apparently they will pick the democrat pretending to be a republican when it suits them. I am sure you would categorize Donnelly that way.

You have yet to show any evidence whatsoever, other than your steadfast belief that that quote means anything other than the wishes and hopes of a president trying to defend his record.

I will be happy to see something from you other than clever quips that leads me to think you might have a point, but so far all you have is veiled insults with no connection to reality whatsoever.
