27 years ago today, the Republican Party won control of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate in midterm congressional elections.  It marked the first time the GOP held both houses in 40 years. Republicans accomplished this by consolidating and energizing their base voters and have worked that strategy for the past 27 years.  Meanwhile, the Democrats have berated, abused and done everything to drive all energy and enthusiasm OUT of the Democratic base voters for the past 27 years.  One electoral strategy seems to work.  The other is lacking.  I will leave you to figure out which seems to be more effective.    Also in today's open thread: - Ted Cruz trolled the US media again - Steve Smyk is still walking around a free man, and - Speaking of people brazenly showing their criminal faces in public, what ever happened to Dem's stopping the indicted auditor from auditing while under indictment? . Oh yeah... Pete Schwartzkopf likes her.

Peter Eleftherios Baker is an American journalist and author. He is the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times and a political analyst for MSNBC. His net worth is estimated to be well over $1 million. Andrea Mitchell is an American television journalist, anchor, and commentator for NBC News, based in Washington, D.C. She married her second husband, then Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan, on April 6, 1997, following a lengthy relationship. Her personal net worth is estimated at over $8 million. This is what passes for "analysis" in the United States:

Andrea Mitchell: Peter Baker, is the congressional Democratic Party just too liberal for the country?

I think of the amazing things would could accomplish as a people and a species if we were not hobbled by being chained to such brazenly stupid people.   If we don't have the mental acuity to think beyond labels such as “progressive” and “liberal”  and instead think in terms of “people who generally favor some tangible benefit for the vast majority of people” - what hope do we have? Read the essay by Carlo M. Cipolla that Alby mentioned last week.   It explains so much about Republican Banditry and our national stupidity.

The nothing that Biden has accomplished is too far to the left and that scared the white Virginia people.  So now he needs to be mean to AOC in public and accomplish even more nothing, so Democrats can run on nothing in the mid-terms and win by not being scary leftists.    Put me on TV!  I can do this.    #winning
