Moore will be elected

and then Moore should be used as an example of the most vile of Republican conservative extremism by Democrats in 2018.

That's how the cards will be dealt; that's how they should be played.

Sorry for Alabama (but I live in Texas, so I feel ya)

"He successfully hacked our election system"

This is not accurate.

Last year, Homeland Security disclosed that 21 states' election systems had been targeted by Russian hackers. There was no evidence they actually penetrated the systems. Experts likened the activity to a burglar jiggling a doorknob to see if it is locked.

It's not worth

a bucket of warm piss, as some very conservative Democrat once said about something else.

Can someone explain

where she got the idea that as acting DNC head she could summarily replace the nominee with someone of her choosing?

Lived in Texas all my life

Been to Boston once on vacation.

You're wrong.

I do not agree that it doesn't matter.

There is a yawning schism in the Democratic Party because it matters. There are thousands of threads in this forum and others that demonstrate its relevance.

Donna Brazile could have come clean about it months ago, but she didn't have a book to sell at that time.

This wound is still oozing, and to ignore it would be dangerous.

I agree that moving on -- while addressing the causes of last year's ignominious defeat -- is necessary.

The primary violation, IMO, being the continuing bias against Sanders for 'not being a Democrat'. Skinner himself cleared this up two years ago ...

... but the alerts and hides and bans since then on the basis of people believing this false premise are too many to enumerate.

Who decides what Democrats say helps

or, for that matter, hurts Trump in any way?

Sometimes it's obvious and sometimes it is not. Who arbitrates your decree?
