I heard a progressive radio guy opine that TPTB--in this case the money people--when deciding who to back for office, would pick strong Republicans and weak Democrats.

I don't know if that is true but it sure seems true. Their guys get a lot of their shit done and generally ours don't.

Definitely not the time for calm.
