Can Delaware Liberals theoretically raise $50,000 for a primary challenger to John Carney?

It is a simple question. Based his track record so far, can we get 100 Delaware liberals and progressives to pledge $500.00 each? Money talks. I'm in, so the goal is now 99 Delaware liberals and progressives on the record pledging $500.00 each to signal their disgust with this travesty of a budget and the terrible "leadership" that foisted it on this state. Say yes or no in the comments, and if we get to $50,000 in pledges we'll go on to phase 2 - setting up a fundraising page and start turning those pledges into real money thereby giving some qualified candidate a running start at challenging Carney.

White House Poised to Really Fuck Shit Up

Kellyanne Conway has confirmed that the White House is willing to repeal the ACA without a replacement in place. I'm no economist, but I am a dyed in the wool capitalist, and this plan smells like a recipie for economic disaster. And yet, this should not come as a surprise to anyone. Remember that fucking shit up is what Republicans believe they were elected to do.

Tim Dukes is an idiot

IMG_2109 Far be it for me to crap on someone who doesn't know the difference between "past" and "passed" they probably don't spend too much time on book learnin' where Dukes went to school. And lord knows I've made my fair share of typos. Just read past beyond that and drink in the stupidity and see how happy Gov Carney has made the "all taxes (other than taxes on poor people) are evil crowd".

Chamber of Commerce DINO Dems want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

This post if fairly typical of the battered wife mindset of "centrist" chamber of commerce Dems. It is all "hoist up the white flag, we've lost" before the battle is even joined. Del Dem says, “Andria Bennett has given the Republicans all the leverage.” How does he figure when Dems hold a super majority in the house? I’m not saying Bennett made her play in order to make the Acting Gov come back to the table with more Rev, but why not take the opportunity? Bennet’s vote seems very gettable in that with some minor amendments. As the post notes, Bennett was one of six Democrats who voted against the budget in 2015 BECAUSE it did not do enough to raise new revenues. The only possible reason not to go with HB 107 and a package that brings more revue, and less draconian cuts is that the Acting Gov, some chamber of Commerce DINO’s, and the figure head Gov might peel off back the the GOP side.
