He holds a lot of cards: Micky Kaus pointed out that Platner “has the leverage. All he has to do to screw the Dem party is… nothing.” And my RedState colleague Bonchie described the Left’s “nuclear levels of cope” over … Continue reading →
There has never been any doubt in my mind that if Graham Platner starts looking like a loser, the Democrats will dump their “working class” nominee. His standing in polls has been steadily sinking – and who knows what’s going … Continue reading →
I’ve already written about the Colorado Democrat primaries in terms of the House race won by DSA leftist Kiros, but at the state level the results were different. At the state level, the more establishment Democrats resisted the challengers, and … Continue reading →
