Sean Patrick Maloney, having blown his war chest in an attempt to not represent his congressional district, now goes back to his House campaign, which goes from likely D to likely R. His run made no sense, unless his marching orders were to slow Teachout upstate. He did that.

1. I've always been interested why the machinations behind

GOP primaries are never worth the attention of the self-appointed thought leaders of the left, or the media as a whole.

It's funny because this is the same Intercept that was popping champagne bottles when Hillary lost.

3. my favorite take from the Intercept was a Zaid Jiliani tweet ..

it said..

"One of the real weaknesses of the left is how little power it has in the GOP. Why don't left people engage with it and win slots there?"

it just makes no damn sense.

2. ...the usual cosmically stupid take from an intercept staffer.

Zephyr Teachout.

Sean Patrick Maloney...how much more establishment can you get with a name like that?

8. That's fairly judgemental, no ?

9. That's really no different than declaring your vote is only based on skin color

Might wanna rethink your priorities, there.

6. WTF are they talking about

Maloney is my rep and this district voted for Nita Lowey for a very long time. Likely R? No. This district is blue. The one right above us swings between parties.

7. So was Maloney allowed to run for AG AND Congress ?
