Unless Raser-Schramm has a decent candidate slotted, this is some bullshit:

However, after having conversations this week with those involved in the party and Party Chairman Erik Raser-Schramm, I have decided not to seek political office at this time, especially for the position of State Treasurer.

Yesterday was not a great day for Trump. He finally cracked and answered a Stormy Daniels question, claiming he didn't know his lawyer Michael Cohen paid her $130,000 or why.…

The crux of the division in the Democratic Party have been well discussed and are well known to readers of DL, so there is no need to go into them here. For a long time I thought that the divisions were something that could be worked out. I once naively thought that the abject heinousness of GOP misrule is more than enough motivation for all Democrats to come together. Now I'm not so sure. For me, the rise of wildcat teacher strikes is some tipping point evidence that we have two fundamentally different Democratic Parties trying to wear the same sweater. One Democratic Party wants social and economic justice, and one does not. I don't think they can co-exist. The goals of the two parties are antithetical.
