People who support John Carney in this Primary are helping Ken Simpler Win

You dolts are playing into Ken Simpler's hands. He wants you to support Carney and fight a damaging primary so that Dems are divided and angry when the general election gets here. Carney is a vanity candidate that stands for nothing other that fucking up the rightful nominees chances. Get a clue you unrealistic Carney zealots! Ken Simpler is the real opponent. (Ed Note: I'm just gearing up and getting ready of the inevitable, substance-less arguments that will be a daily (hourly?, 5-minutely?) feature of this blog's comments section when Carney faces a primary for his vaguely right of center, but otherwise feckless first term. The names will change, Carney's name will change position, but the arguments are evergreen.)

ACA replacement monstrosity will pass because – fuck it

Republicans fear their base, (and primary challenges from the right) a lot more than they fear losing to Democrats (scoff) in general elections. They also feel (rightly) that they were elected to fuck shit up. Fucking shit up is not a bug, it is a feature of GOP governance. So yes... this monstrosity should kill them but it will only make them stronger. You can read a longer version of this lament here if you are into that sort of thing.
