186. "In his twisted way" is not Mayor Pete being supportive of Trump

On the contrary. He's acknowledging that Trump tapped into something that got him elected. And Trump did that in a twisted way. It's stating his opinion. Maybe Mayor Pete is wrong and Trump tapped into animus toward immigrants more. Maybe it's both.

Bernie's schtick was also pointing out "huge troubles in our economy and our democracy". Bernie didn't make it through the primary, though, and it is to be seen if he does this time around.

Democrats were feeling good about our country in the wake of Obama's two terms. We wanted to continue it. The trouble is, voters in a handful of states preferred Trump, and our broken Electoral College system was manipulated into him getting elected. Clinton's campaign (and the democrats) were caught off guard.

But, back to the post at hand: I hate when Democrats eat their own with a single quote.

But if we're relying on quotations of sentences, I prefer this one:

But “normal” and “regular” are not adjectives that apply to the son of a Maltese immigrant father and an Army brat mom who grew up in decaying South Bend, got himself into Harvard, summer-interned for Ted Kennedy, worked for John Kerry’s presidential campaign, won a Rhodes Scholarship, learned Arabic in Tunisia, landed a jet-setting consultant’s job, left it to return to his beat-up hometown and become the youngest mayor of a midsize U.S. city, transformed that city into a national model of renewal, and then — deep breath — volunteered for active duty in Afghanistan while serving as mayor, came out as gay in the local newspaper, married a schoolteacher live on YouTube, turned heads in a dark-horse bid to lead the Democratic National Committee, and had the New York Times’s Frank Bruni gushing about him as potentially the “First Gay President”— all by age 36.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
