    Wilson's a pretty smart guy, but this advice is useless. "I am against putting children in cages and concentration camps" is now a culture war flashpoint for the Republican Party. "I think all Americans ought to be able to serve in the armed forces" is a flashpoint. "I think unarmed civilians of any race should not be shot by cops" is a huge flashpoint. There's no fighting indecency by ignoring it. You have to take a position. If you lose because your fellow citizens are bigoted fucks, so be it.

    I see Fox News on at the gym and I guess it "works" for their core audience - but they seem to be retreating deeper and deeper into their base to the point that their opinions shows may as well be a foreign language or a religion you need to be well versed in to understand.

    That's an excellent op-ed. We'll see if Democrats are paying the slightest bit of attention.

    I'm just not sure. I think, along with winning, the progressives want to re-litigate the Democratic Party of 25-30 years ago along with it. We'll see.

    Over a third of the Democratic vote is people of color. Party can't abandon civil rights or a non-racist immigration policy. That's not "progressives." Over half, well over half of Democratic voters are women. Same for reproductive rights. ANY Democratic policy to advance the economic well-being of the non-wealthy will be attacked as "socialism." That's been true since 1932. What Wilson really wants (way too smart to admit it, even to himself) is for the Dems to nominate Jeb Bush.

    Coming up next, we'll find out which of the three Mexicos will pay for the wall.

    Pirro is a Saturday night host — that’s like working the breakfast buffet at the nudie bar. Only reason that she is at all relevant is that she says outrageous things and Trump is addicted to cable opinion shows which discuss him, especially those which praise him.
