Reading the tea leaves from Virginia, it turns out that white college educated suburbanites and exurbanites really loathe Trump with a white hot passion.
The problem is the white non-college educated working class thinks he’s still hot as spit.
For now, the better educated among us are finally taking the remote away.

We are about to kill the next generation of American scientists. Well, we’ve already killed the current generation substantially. Trump’s proposed budget cuts the NIH budget by 20%.
Look away, BiFF, look away.

I’m headed out early so I can camp on later tonight.

Hillary’s staffers have set up organizations that are recruiting and training candidates to run and win. Then you have Brazile doing the rounds on TV, posing for picture with that monster sheriff Clarke and going on Tucker to spread lies and gossip. What is happening? I bet she leaked those debate questions to hurt Hillary. Who in their right mind thinks Hillary needed those questions?
No one.
I agree pm317, it’s very odd how Brazile can do terrible things like leaking debate question(s) and tear the HRC campaign a new one but not be held accountable. I would like to see someone publicize an accounting of Brazile and her meaningless and cruel actions.
Media is complicit and Brazile is offering them their own salvation which they welcome. Like you I want someone to take her on and call her out.
But I also I want someone to write a book, call it “Hillary’s America” because what is happening is because of her, and unfortunately, her losing to trump and people realizing that they have been asleep at the switch. The book should set the record straight about her, the person, the vision, and everything in the context of 2016. She didn’t even get her fair share of credit as the first serious woman nominee ever in the history of this country. Maybe we will have enough development by 2018, that it will change the narrative about her. There is a lot going on behind the scenes. Hillary has unleashed her army, wittingly or not.
Agree, pm317. This is the beginning of Hillary’s legacy.
The media will never, never cop to the part they played in Trump’s rise and electoral college election. How many cover to cover Trump rallies did I see? At some point, anchors and pundits started to point at the sky as they sighted Trump’s jet. De Plane! De Plane!
As I said (a broken record) Tapper, Todd. Blitzer, etc. will never confess to or face how they worked to destroy the US but we know the truth.
Hillary’s Legacy!!!
One begins to wonder if Putin has something on the Brazile Nut.
These numbers are unbelievable. The fact that trump won EC by fiat and a few 10s of thousands votes seems to have made a big impression on people who didn’t vote in 2016. Hope this continues to 2018 and beyond.
If there is a print edition, be sure to snag one.

Biden is opening his big mouth again attacking Hillary. Get rid of these old fossils. We want younger, fairer, and smarter leaders. Did you hear what Danica Roem said when asked about her opponent? She said he is her constituent now and she doesn’t attack her constituents. That statement asserts power yet very gracefully. The Bernies, the Bidens, the Braziles, the Warners of the old guard in the party should learn a thing or two from the people who got elected last night.
What did Biden say? Did Anita Hill have a response?
From DailyMail caption:
“Joe Biden knew he was capable of beating Hillary Clinton in the presidential race – but decided not to run fearing a ‘stop at nothing’ campaign by her backers, the former vice president has revealed in his new memoir. In Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose, set to be released November 14, Biden reveals how he wrestled with the idea of running for office before and after his son Beau’s death, and even admits he did not want to be Obama’s vice president in 2008. he tells how Hillary implicitly threatened him that sh could not control her supporters. Then after his son Beau’s (inset) death, he eventually came to a decision not to run – when ‘opposition research’ began and would ‘stop at nothing’. He does not mention the secret scandal roiling his family at the time which such research could have revealed: his son Hunter (left, behinds his brother’s coffin) being accused of blowing money on drugs and prostitutes by his wife Kathleen, then divorcing her and starting a relationship with Beau’s widow Hallie (left of Biden). He says he was ‘afraid… I would do something I would regret’ if his son’s death was used against him. “
Fuck him. Jesus, what losers Biden and Brazile are.
I’m with you. Who cares what Biden thinks. He’s the past and he’s bitter.
Warren and Bernie have just become not relevant and they know it. Biden is not relevant either and he knows it hence the anger and the attacks. Last night proved we can win without Bernie. The whole Bernie/Warren/Brazile thing seems like a coordinated attack attempting to make Northam loose so that they could come in and claim only they knew how to win and pick at the carcass. Their plans did not go so well. Women are not in the mood to tolerate Biden these days.
Damn straight.
To me one of the worst Media culprits is Thom Hartmann on Progressive Radio. For years, he gave a platform to Bolshie Bernie that was instrumental in letting that old coot think he had a snowman’s chance in hell of getting the nomination. Yesterday, Hartmann said that the Democratic Party should “turn back to Bernie” who, of course, is not a Democrat.
Those Stevenson/ “limousine liberals”-oh sorry, Purist Progressives are either useful idiots or they’re on the payroll.
BTW, I was thrilled with the win of so many Democratic candidates-diverse or traditional.
Educated people can’t stand the Orange Dogpile by a huge margin, but let’s be fair. The group that needs the least help understanding his grossness is black women.
Bless them, they had Bernie’s number, too.
If I remember right they stayed with Hillary longer in 2008 too.
