  1. The writing is on the wall…

    Even the LA Times, which has been an outlier and had Trump polling at 4 percent ahead of HRC, now has the two tied nationwide.

  2. Republican implosion in CO continues, Chucky Baby endorses Bennet at DenverPost.com:

    Bennet is the kind of public servant we admire. After making his fortune, he left the private sector with the goal not merely of advancing in politics, but of making lives better for hard-working people. His leadership at the helm of Denver Public Schools was transformative. In the Senate, he’s been a reliable leader who builds bipartisan relationships necessary to get the job done.

    Bennet has worked well with Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, and Coloradans should be proud to have such valued members of their respective parties working together to challenge the gridlock and dysfunction Bennet long has rightly railed against.

    Bennet draws criticism for holding his cards on some tough questions. His long wait on supporting the deal with Iran meant to forestall the rogue country’s nuclear ambitions comes to mind. Currently he’s been hard to read on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

    …blah blah blah

    On balance, given what the relative newcomer has accomplished in Washington, we see his approach as working and look forward to seeing what he will do in his next term.

    I'll refrain from commenting at this point except to point out that those who most praise bipartisanship are Op-Ed pages and politicians who are itching to triangulate against their base.

    1. Good that you are refraining from commenting. Otherwise, Blue Cat would have to again put you in your place, which she does so well.

      You do have one big thing in common with Daryl Glenn; neither of you really want to work with the other party.

      1. Too late. I commented on Zaps contention that they're both lame on the debate thread already including thoughts on Zaps and Glenn's  identical take on never working with anyone on the other side ever.wink

    1. Reminds me of an old bad joke from years ago about Ted Kennedy; in his 60s; still going to Florida on spring break looking to pick up coeds. Unfortunately, the slime bucket Trump, in his 60s and now 70, looking to pick up young women is no joke.

    2. There's also a report out on the Huffington Post about him walking into the dressing room at a Miss Teen USA pageant. The report is attributed to Miss Vermont who said that in 1997 he walked into the dressing room while teenage girls were changing.

      Good God, and he represents the party which is freaked about about Caitlyn Jenner peeing in a women's restroom.

      Andrew, Moddy, either of you care to defend this creep?

    1. Nice ad all the same and shows somebody thinks it's worth investing real money. Maybe they were trying to cram in more stuff people might really care about instead of the same old he was mean to Obama stuff. Better stuff than anything in Carroll or her supporters ads to date for sure. 

  3. The Revenge of Mitt Romney?

    According to Real Clear Politics, a new poll out by Y2Analytics in the state of Utah has Trump and HRC tied at 26%, Evan McMullin at 22%, Gary "Aleppo" Johnson at 14%, and Dr. Anti-Vax Stein at 1%.

    Moderatus, be afraid. Be very afraid. 

    1. Mittens should have waited instead of running against a popular incumbent president.  Running against a candidate with HRC's historic low approval ratings he probably would have wiped the floor with her. So thank you, Mittens.

      And thank you, Donald. How could Dems possibly have found their candidate running against an opponent even deeper underwater on approval ratings if it hadn't been for you.

      The luck of the Clintons?

      1. If I wore a tin-foil hat and subscribed to conspiracy theories, I would say that the Clintons arranged for the Donald to be the GOP nominee. They are many things, but they are generally not stupid. (They occasionally do and say stupid things.)

        They knew that she had high unfavorables so they needed someone with higher unfavorable numbers. The facts that: (a) there were 16 other folk in the race, (b) some of the rules changes made by the GOP after 2012, and (c)  the fermented mentality of the tea party crowd and their hatred of Obama (and the Donald's ability to sing their song) provided the perfect storm for his candidacy.

        1. Fermented Tea Party? Wouldn't they have to change their name to the Kombucha Party? 

          But I guess that would be too foreign for them. And they’d think it came from China.
