Statewide Polling Talk

We are hearing that a well known Delaware based membership org has paid good money for some good statewide polling. I'm not trying to blow anyone's scoop up, but if…

Carper is Stonewalling Calls to Divest

Dem Senator Carper is now just trying to run out the clock and pray September 6th hurries up and gets here. Each day looks worse for Carper and local and national news outlets continue to examine his execrable record. Today it is the fact that Carper talks big about fighting the opioid epidemic, but the fact is that has received major campaign donations from the very companies his state is suing over their role in the crisis. The Harris campaign was quick to make an issue of it:
“I call on Carper to immediately return campaign contributions from opioid companies and to divest of those investments,” says Harris. “Other lawmakers, including Carper’s colleague Claire McCaskill, have done the same.”
Meanwhile, seven hours into the controversy, the Carper campaign is flummoxed and stonewalling the challenger's call for some semblance of alignment between what Carper says and what he does.

If she wins the primary, Kathy McGuiness is the only “Democrat” I will vote against in November

I'm lazy. I haven't hated on the Kathy McGuiness for auditor campaign in these pages in a way that it richly deserves to be hated on. Her run for Auditor is the absolute epitome of everything that is wrong with the Delaware Democratic Party. This campaign is the tar in the overflowing ashtray of the smoked-filled backroom. To accept this role marks McGuiness as a souless vestigial tail hanging on the ass-end of corrupt Peter C. Schwartzkopf, her reputation from here on out caked with Pete's shit balls. Park City Kathy is an unqualified political hack that was hand picked by party insiders in order to have a compliant puppet in an important office. The whole thing reeks. Vote for Kathleen Davies. If that doesn't work vote for whatever idiot the GOP nominates.

What was Germany like just before the Nazis consolidated power?

That isn't a question we have to wonder about because we are living it. And while I'm familiar with Godwin's law, the types of stories breaking in the past week point to the fact that Trump is working on holding onto power at any cost. Natural born citizens are having passport applications denied because that belong to a certain scapegoated minority group. A paramilitary law enforcement agency operates above the law General lawlessness is tolerated as long as it promotes the goals of the rising regime. The formal "opposition" is unwilling to accept the scope of the emergency. A cult of personality continues growing around a leader who demands that followers first loyalty is to him and not the country.

News Journal’s Carper Endorsement Happily Devoid of Any Internal Logic

My theory is that they wanted to endorse Carper so they cobbled something together. How else can you explain this confused endorsement? The paper claims that we need a fighter to take on Trump, and that fighter is... Tom Carper? Really? A man, they point out, whose key strength is his eagerness to compromise and collaborate with Republicans. A man whose obsequious collaboration with Republicans set the stage for the situation we are in now? What? Seriously. WTF News Journal editorial board?
