73. Because not to is sticking our heads in the sand

Sun Mar 18, 2018, 01:04 PM

Mar 2018

We will need to flip many Trump districts and offending the voters there will not get them to vote for us.

Yes, we all know the truth - except for offending many women saying that they vote the way their husbands do - but we do not need to say it in public IF we want to take control of Congress.

Too bad that on DU so many want "purity" or, I don't know, catharsis, instead of reaching our.

We need them. Period. It is not about different polices, had we had a Bush, or McCain or Romney; it is saving the country from disasters, both domestic and foreign policies.

It is not just Durbin - a respectable reliable Democratic senator that Trump called "little;" it is senators who are up for re-elections in states that Trump won: McCaskill of Missouri, Brown of Ohio, Heitkamp of North Dakota.

But, I suppose, November will be here soon enough.
