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?  Right, Chris Coons? Right? Dems have a real shot here, right?

Coons called out for his “despicable and unacceptable” vote. Meanwhile, Tio Bernie says, “if any senator believes this is the last time they will cast a vote on whether or not to give a raise to 32 million Americans, they are sorely mistaken.”   So Coons will have another shot to vote like the big follower of Jesus Christ he claims to be.   Via Common Dreams: Shameful-Millionaire Senators Vote Against Popular Minimum Wage

Chauvin’s defense team will argue that Floyd was asking for it (by being African American).
