Maybe it's time to turn down the hard left rhetoric……

Or, from the same article, maybe not.
Always good to hear advice from non-Democrats, Sudafed. Has Powerful Pear weighed in yet?
Doubt he will, W is pretty far up the alphabet for Roger . . .
. . . and, anyway, he’ll have to work his way through Asperse, Blather, Concoct, Distort, Evade, and Fabricate, etc., first.
Things have an order.
T is for Tulsi
As in Tulsi Gabard who is Roger’s favorite Dem candidate
FiveThirtyEight had an article six days ago pointing out that when someone says that X policy is losing the independents/moderates the question that should be asked is, "Which ones?" Possibly even more than Democrats or Republicans, both fairly diverse groups, independents have diverse positions.

Moving three points on a " consideration scale" may or may not be significant, depending on how many total points on the scale. I didn't see that info…did I miss a link?
Of course, there's also this bit.
Washington Post has a touching, positive story about a kid who was bullied in Colorado Springs and has gone on to help his PTSD by gathering and donating shoes — 25,000 pairs or so thus far.
I wanted something other than the coverage of Trump and his minions. Perhaps you do, too.
Thank you.😊
Just another manic Monday . . .
(. . . OK, I know that it was Sunday. But, that’s my fun day. My I-ain’t-gonna’-Ttump day, . . .)
And – he's resigning.
I wonder if the other one, Duncan D. Hunter of California (the one with the airline-traveling rabbit), will follow in his footsteps.
Hunter's defense strategy – he blamed it all on his wife. They say chivalry is dead.
Well, it’s Australia now, too . . .
Time to break out your, Ttumptastic Bingo Cards – Coerced Countries of the World Edition . . .
Rudy getting his chance to shine!
Come on…
Trump Pressed Australian Leader to Help Barr Investigate Mueller Inquiry’s Origins
WHEN YOU ARE DONE HERE I NEED YOU TO HELP ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR FIND THE DNC SERVER AND DISPROVE THE FAKE PARTISAN MULLER REPORT
Trump ghostwriter Tony Schwartz believes there might only be days or weeks left in the #TrumpsterFire presidency . . .
There will be a rush from current and former members of the Trump Administration to gain whistle-blower protections or immunity deals in order to save their own skin.
The tidal wave of testimony will only grow as Trump's hysterical tweets get even crazier. He will attempt to throw everyone in the White House under the bus.
We'll know it's over when Cory Gardner protests (while rapidly walking away from a pursuing reporter): "I never endorsed Trump"
Everyone else who's left is either riding in the clown car now (Pompeo, Barr, Giuliani, maybe Mulvaney, Pence, and Perry), out of the loop (DeVos, Carson), or deeply embedded in some other part of the dumpster fire administration's wrongdoings and coverups (Ross, Mnuchin).
Worth reading the entire column, but here's the meat.
What’s the Matter With Republicans?
Yeah, yeah, argilty blargility
What the writers means is : If only Trump had lied about consensual sex with an adult coworker, then the Rs would favor impeachment.
I guess Trump lying about paying for it doesn't count, then.
Not content to allow Giuliani to claim "worst Trump attorney" without a fight, AG Barr now has an entry, too.
WAPO: Barr personally asked foreign officials to aid inquiry into CIA, FBI activities in 2016
Fairly unorthodox, indeed. And in this season, I'd bet it could also be labeled "unconservative" and "unreformed," too. With the miracle of modern Goggling, I can find out it could well be considered sheketz.
Rudy heard the plaintive plea, "Who will be my Roy Cohen?" and answered the siren call.
