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 11 people were gunned down because they were Jewish. Trump even pulled one of his old ratfucking tricks — he called Pennsylvania politicians one at […]

Instant Halloween. Just add a sinister laugh, a wheezing cough, and/or screams from the basement:
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: Part I
There will be some sort of a blue wave in Delaware. Only question is: How much of a Blue Wave? I don’t know. But I feel real good about my predictions, which factor in a bit of a blue wave, but not a blue tsunami. I think there will be a blue wave largely b/c […]
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.
Trump Seeks to Overturn 2nd Amendment Via Executive Order
President Donald Trump’s announced intention to end “right to bear arms” by executive order has pushed an already heated debate over gun control into a virtual inferno of election year politicking. At base, however, it is one of the longest standing debates in our Constitution: whether the 2nd Amendment affords unlimited gun ownership rights to […]
Ken Simpler – A Cheater Cheats
Check out the finance report for Foundation for Delaware’s Future: Ellen Barrosse = $10,000 Joseph Schell = $25,000 Kenneth Simpler Sr. = $10,000 Matthew Steinmetz = $5,000 Simpler Sr. and Schell are maxed out donors to Ken Simpler Jr., as is the FOUNDATION FOR DELAWARE’S FUTURE LLC. Furthermore, it appears that Schell has maxed out […]
Coonsian Utopia
This is sickeningly predictable. If Trump leaves office, things just don’t snap back to “normal” as too many people seem to believe. The biggest mistake a Democrat will make in 2020 is running on the “let’s make Washington bipartisan and good again” as if the only problem is Trump, as if bipartisanship is good, as […]
Oct. 30 Open Thread: Domestic Terrorists 13, Foreigners 0
Trump is upset that some of his biggest fans are killing people — not because he doesn’t like them killing people, but he just doesn’t like it happening when he’s got other plans for the nation’s front pages and chyrons. That plan was to further demonize a ragtag band of about 3,000 poor Hondurans as […]
Make a Note: Read El Sonnambulo Tomorrow
I just read an election prediction post in draft form that is the best political writing/reporting in the state. Hands Down.
We Have Descended to a Lower Circle of Hell, Built by Trump
I get the sense we have crossed another once-inviolable barrier in the Ballad of Donald Trump. Three horrifying hate crimes in five days, like four 500-year floods in a decade, give people overwhelming evidence of big changes, and not in a good direction. Or, if you prefer, people can see shit ain’t right. I could […]
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.
Delaware Prepares to Vote “Yes or No” on Trump
Campaigns on both side know this that this election is a referendum on Donald Trump. Every race, at every level is about Trump. This is the picture you see just below the top pic on the DEGOP Facebook page.
