(11,196 posts)That they are masterful at continually destroying themselves. They have a propensity for committing knee jerk reactions without bothering to stop and think about the consequences. They never learn.
Roger Stone is the 2017 version of Lee Atwater, king of the dirty political games. I think that there are more than enough reasons to question the allegations made against Al Franken. Did the Democratic Party allow Al Franken due process and a chance to clear his name? No. Like Brutus to Cesar, they hauled out their knives and committed political murder, thus finishing Roger Stone's work. He must be having a pretty good laugh at them about now.
Gillibrand and all the rest should have realized immediately that Roger Stone would go after Al Franken because Al was one of most effective Senators when it came to dealing with the Trump crime family.
Before they turned on Al Franken I had become quite impressed by a lot of the Dems in Congress, particularly after watching the hearings. There sure looked like a lot of young Dems with great potential. And then they act stupid. Gillibrand is coming across as opportunistic and only interested in her own political future. I don't trust her and I most certainly would not vote for her (or any of the other idiots) if the make it onto a Presidential ticket.
We can absolutely expect the Rethugs to turn on us but we have every right to expect the Dems won't. I won't waste my time, energy or money on an undeserving candidate.
