Theory of Holy Moderation and Exalted Centrism ™ to be tested
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Monsanto) has no interest in having his ass kicked by whoever the Trump cult runs against him in 2022’s primary. Under the theory of Holy Moderation and Exalted Centrism ™ Blunt’s Missouri seat should go to a Democrat, when voters find the GOP has nominated a “radical” who is “out of step” with the common sense moderation of Show Me State voters. Right?
Anybody have national polling numbers for Ted Cruz?
Americas oldest college debate society votes to strip Ted Cruz of a prestigious Princeton honor for public service.

In a Monday letter to Trump attorney Alex Cannon, RNC chief counsel J. Justin Riemer said the committee “has every right to refer to public figures as it engages in core, First Amendment-protected political speech” and said “it will continue to do so in pursuit of these common goals.”
This time Russia doesn’t have an operative in the White House.
Nevada proves that so-called “mainstream Democrats” are anything but. They are tools of corporate dominance, and they are that way because Bill Clinton showed them how good that sweet corporate moolah tasted and now most of them are hooked.
They are not interested in lifting up the people. They are interested in pointing to the 1-in-20 success stories and telling the other 19 that this proves they could succeed if they just worked harder for The Man. Who then flips the burgers? Why, those who just weren’t motivated enough, of course, so their work here is finished.
Fuck them. Fuck them long, fuck them hard, and fuck them with a rusty chainsaw.
5 bucks says, Cruz uses losing his honorary as a “badge of honor” to regain some footing with the rabble.
