Oct. 31 Open Thread: President Pariah

Something unprecedented in American history happened yesterday -- a sitting president was universally shunned when he tried to stage a photo op pay his respects at the Pittsburgh synagogue where…

Scott Goss Hackery Now Goes to 11

There is a effort underway at the News Journal to try and save Mike Ramone. How else do you make a connection, and try to build a false equivalency between Republican dirty tricks (like planting fake signs and making up outright lies about support for abortion in the ninth month) to DelawareLiberal's reporting on the Democratic Party's legitimate protest of Mike Ramone's crimes? There is a story here but it has to do with Goss' connection to Ramone. Why the yoeman's effort to stretch this dirty tricks story to cover Ramone? Even in light of the NJ's low journalistic standards - Scott Goss' hackery is unprecedented.

Open Thread – Trend to Democratic Partisanship WAAAAAY Overdue

For the ENTIRE time I've been blogging I've been saying that the Democrats approach to elections needed to be more "base turnout" oriented. In the past few years I've seen some positive changes in the Delaware electorate and now we only have some holdouts like Coons and Carney who still think that Republicans want to "cooperate" and come to "consensus" in the name of "good government." Complete bullshit, or course and bullshit that is increasing being called bullshit by Democratic voters. Last year PEW Research study showed that Democrats were finally catching up with Republicans with regard to sticking together and not bringing flowers to partisan fistfights (see below). So anyway...in thinking about today's poll question, I wonder if Trump is just speeding up a process that was already underway. We already know that the Democratic Party primary is THE election for statewide offices. If Simpler loses that clinches it. If it is a trend, Ramone, Lavelle, and every other Republican in New Castle County will be gone this election or next. It is well overdue and if you hear any Democrat like Carney or Coons claiming that Republicans are "trusted partners" please keep the momentum going by shouting down that bullshit.
