At Autumn Arch Brewery tomorrow, I'd be looking for two things. 1) Some DL peeps I've never met face to face. 2) All the Democratic candidates spending 100% of their time on camera bashing Trump and calling for unprecedented Democratic unity. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so. This is a Code Red situation, folks.

If you can stomach it...In this episode, Delaware Democratic Legislators break their arms off patting each other on the back for passing LGBT protections 10 YEARS AGO. If you can't stomach it simply know that Pete Schwarzkopf is the Dr Martin Luther King of LGBT rights, also celebrate John Carney for not being Governor ten years ago...Huzzah!!

Delaware put the Democrats in power, it wasn't so that they would smother Democratic initiatives, fail to bring democratic bills to a vote, allow the death penalty to come back, and put Republican budget smoothing proposals above literally EVERYTHING. If the Democrats don't do anything, why should they expect anyone to continue working and voting for them?

The Oregon state house passed a climate change bill that the Oregon Senate didn't have the votes to defeat. So the GOP Senators left the capitol to deny a quorum.…

1) John Bolton has always wanted to bomb something in Iran, 2) The WH will blame Iran for whatever a Fox News chyron tells them to blame them for, 3) John Bolton will kiss Trump's ass today and tell him how strong and manly he is, 4) Trump will approve Bolton's pet project of bombing something in Iran, 5) On the night of the bombing, Trump will appear on TV at 8:00 pm to take credit for the amazing success of Operation #AmericaFuckyeah! 6) Having been bombed will not sit well with Iran, 7) Senators (including, no doubt, Coons) will rush to mic to be a part of Operation #AmericaFuckYeah!

Since Celia Cohen retired from the biz, it falls to me to set the early matchups.  Spoiler Alert: This is the roughest of rough drafts.

US SENATE- Democratic Primary

Chris Coons vs Unopposed July 1, 2018 is the deadline for the party to set the filing fee. July 10th is the deadline for candidates to file for a Statewide Office. Since the Dem primary IS THE ELECTION, It will be a crime when Coons goes un-primaried. But I'm not hearing anything, so it looks like Coons gets a walk.

US SENATE- Republican Primary

Some Crazy Person vs Some Crazy Person Let's face it, Trump-fever continues to grip the DEGOP. Nobody with a chance of winning statewide will expose themselves to the deranged mob known as registered Republicans. So it looks like Coons gets a walk.  How lucky is Coons?  Castle gets taken out by a lunatic, then everyone just lays down like he is a young Mike Tyson.
