(55,072 posts)You compulsion to protect the man in charge of congressional campaigns in two consecutive sets of losses. I think that answers your question of why he made a point of throwing women's rights under the bus. He knew it would satisfy those who insist women remain " fresh" of face and out of power. Naturally Pelosi is to blame for Lujan failing to bring about wins. Women are always to blame for men's failings. Just ask Hillary.
He could have deflected. Politicians are expert at it. Being asked a question is an excuse for 4 year olds, not politicians. That's the best you can cime up with as an excuse, and you fancy yourself a political tactician.
You are welcome to put your case for a Democratic Party that stands for no one and nothing before the electorate. Tell them that winning means more than their lives. Tell them they should sacrifice their rights and their survival because a group of privileged white men need to win over another group of privileged white men. Tell them how much it matters that the D group of white men are the ones who plunge them into greater poverty and higher death rates. See how well that does. "
