  1. Bennet may vote against TPP        “In the short term, it’s dead, anyway,” our brave and principled senator said.

    (I think this was the same rationale he used to claim that he would fight to his political death for the public option in health care – after it, too, was dead with no chance of revival.)

    Bennet didn’t rule out voting for a future version, perhaps titled differently. I’d suggest truth in advertising: CRTW, for Corporations Rule The World.

      1. Never mind dear.  You don't want to be confused with those facty things.  Just remember: Trade bad.  Must stop trade.  Smoot Hawley good.  Autarchy good..  must stop trade.

          1. Lose thenotion that everything is about you, jackass.  The "dear" and deliberate condescension is aimed at Dodd.  MJ is so vain, she thinks every post is about her.

            1. Oh, that makes everything peachy, your Pompousity. When you really want to insult a man, treat him like a woman. Your worst insults for a (presumably) male Polster always imply that he's gay, call him "dear", say he's challenged by "facty things",  wonder what kind of women's underwear he uses. That'll definitely prove you're not sexist, V.

              1. Your PC meter is off.  Saying that AC wears his mother's underwear isn't the same as saying he is gay or don't you know the difference between crossdressers and gays?  Oh, the life of the PC cop gets so complicated.  As to Dodd, treating him like the spoiled child he is is very different from treating him as a woman.  He pretends to be an expert on trade and doesn't know that side letters , which Bennet jocularly called "sidecars" are often used to clarify points in trade deals without reopening the entire treaty process.

  2. Republicans have their Frankenstein monster in Donald Trump. Trump should ruin the Republican brand for many years, and Democrats should not hesitate to take advantage of their scurrilous behavior and destructive policies.

    Now the Roger "Sexual Harasser" Ailes Fox News/Republican Party Frankenstein monster is turning on its own:

    Sean Hannity does not like criticism. 

    The Fox News host attacked coworker Megyn Kelly on Wednesday night for having the nerve to suggest that he lobs softball questions at GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump

    Speaking on her show, “The Kelly File,” she said: 

    “Donald Trump, with all due respect to my friend at 10 o’clock, will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity and will not venture out to the unsafe spaces these days, which doesn’t exactly expand the tent for either one of them. There. That’s my two cents.”

    Hannity ― who has said he’s “not a journalist,” admitted he goes easier on Republicans and has been actively cheerleading for Trump ― didn’t take it well: 

    Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of assholes. 

  3. The Denver Post has endorsed Scott Tipton for a fourth term.  Consider this brilliant reasoning:

    We were concerned by the fact…that Tipton approached the conflict over fracking on the Thompson Divide with a bill drafted almost entirely by the company hoping to develop that land.  Making matters worse, SG Interests and individuals associated with the company holding leases on the Thompson Divide contributed almost $40,000 to Tipton.  …Tipton argues that it's common to start the legislative process with a bill drafted by a special interest…. We wish he'd relied more on his staff to develop a starting point. …There's no question Tipton's Democratic opponent, Gail Schwartz, is a worthy adversary."

    Obviously, the key word for their conclusion is: "Democratic".  I fully expect similar BS when they endorse Mike Coffman.

    1. What a joke. I am beginning to suspect the Denver Post is really owned by interests in Texas and Oklahoma.

      Tipton works on behalf of oil and gas companies from those same places..

      …connection…? nah, couldn't be…

  4. Clinton’s Electoral College Lead Regenerates

    "That’s because Colorado and Virginia, two growing, highly-educated states that George W. Bush won twice, have never looked all that promising for Trump. A few pre-debate polls showing those states closing were probably a mirage, and more recent surveys have shown Clinton building a bigger lead. Given the demographics of this election — Trump running stronger with non-college whites but losing ground with white college graduates and potentially nonwhite voters too — both of these states should end up voting more Democratic than the national average. They move from Leans Democratic to Likely Democratic. One interesting development in Colorado is that Democrats have taken a lead in statewide party registration for the first time in three decades, and this also will be the first presidential election with all-mail voting in the state."

    1. Well as Mike Pence indicated, you can't believe a word out of Donald Trump's mouth, and if you do, well, he didn't really say it anyway, despite it being recorded on video.

      Which is why Trump is leading the GOP ticket.

  5. Has Rev. Rafael Cruz opined yet on whether Matthew is God's revenge on the State of Florida for voting for Drumpf in March over Marco and Ted? Inquiring minds want to know…
