I guess Matt Harrigan does not know what the acronym OPSEC means. He also does not know the definitions of malicious and stupid.

[MEDIAITE] Former press secretary to Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... and Democratic strategist Symone Sanders mocked and dismissed a Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... supporter who was beat up by a reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... mob on CNN Monday because he was white.
Sanders took on Trump for his comments Sunday that his supporters should stop committing hate crimes in his name, saying he needed to go further. "The audacity of privileged white people to sit on national television and question if hate crimes are happening, to just flippantly say ’stop it, it’s not okay,’ and not put any action behind those words, it’s appalling to me. It’s actually appalling."
Trump supporter Carl Higbie retorted that there was violence on both sides, and that Hillary Clinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook... and Barack Obama Because I won... hadn’t bothered to denounce the violence at anti-Trump rallies. "I’m sorry, hate crimes and protesting are not the same things..." Sanders responded. "A hate crime is a crime that is committed against somebody because of their religion, because of what they look like, because of their sexual orientation. That’s not the same thing as protesting."

"A hate crime is a crime that is committed against somebody because of their religion, because of what they look like, because of their sexual orientation. That’s not the same thing as protesting."
Do you mean like getting beat up because of what they look like as when you are white? Where's the "white privilege?" in that?
[UK Daily Mail] President Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... delivered a veiled rebuke to Hillary Clinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook... today for spending the summer and much of the fall taking it easy as Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... barnstormed the nation.
The two-time winner Electoral College winner said he was victorious in Iowa, a mostly white state, 'not because the demographics dictated' it, but because he spent 87 days going to 'every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall.
'And the challenge for a national party is how do you dig in there and create those kinds of structures so that people have a sense of what it is that you stand for. That's 'increasingly difficult to do' through a national press strategy, he said.
Conversations in the party about grassroots efforts and building a bottom up party will 'contribute to stronger outcomes in the future,' he assessed. 'And I'm optimistic that will happen.'
Democrats who are 'feeling completely discouraged' by last Tuesday's election, Obama said, should remember that 'things change pretty rapidly.'
'But they don't change inevitably. They change because you work for it,' he said. 'We have to compete everywhere. We have to show up everywhere. We have to work at a grassroots level.'

Hard to do a lot of face time if you have 'undisclosed' medical problems, which the MSM made sure remained 'undisclosed' because they decided she must be the next president.

Seeing as how the HRC campaign had eight times the national staffing (plus twice the cash to spend) as the Trump campaign, there was a bit more to it.
Someone actually knew how to compete in a hostile market and made better business decisions based on that knowledge.
Saved money on catering staff meals by going to those fish-frys too, I'll bet.

OOh com'on. Her strategy was as few public appearances as possible, until Bernie started making gains. Why? She is not likable. The hot sauce comment was one of the worst jingoistic, pandering, obvious comments I've ever heard. Her handlers were probably happy she didn't say colored greens.
And these History! makers who wanted a woman president no matter what, she did you a favor. How is it Legacy! when the first woman president must resign, or even dies, within a year of office due to stress?
I know, I know, we would have had a commemorative NFL game and it would have been mean old Trump's fault, but two fact would remain: she didn't have the stamina and Kaine would be president.
Barry is right, if not for just talking himself up. Trump was going through two or three cities a day, and Hillary! couldn't get through a fast food menu.

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] More than two dozen House Democrats have asked their leaders to postpone this week's leadership elections in the wake of the 2016 election that saw Democrats fall far short of the gains in the House and Senate that most expected.
Led by Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, at least 25 Democrats have signed on to a letter officially asking Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace... of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, to push back elections scheduled for Thursday.
Calling last week's elections "devastating," Moulton wrote in his unsent letter, "It is evident ... that the difficult situation in which our caucus now finds itself requires a much more extensive conversation between members and our elected leadership."
Moulton is not challenging Pelosi, or calling for her removal as leader of the House Democratic Caucus. But another group of politicians is seeking to oust her, and have suggested Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, as a replacement.

This despicable person ought to be serving time in the Graybar Hotel for fraud for forcing ObamaCare on the American people and not allowing it to be read before passing it when the Dems had control of both Houses. She knew what was in it and did not disclose it. And SCOTUS aided and abetted this crime.

This broad's 76 years old and is the face (not a pretty one, in many ways) of House Democrats. You'd think a rational bunch would consider leadership changes after getting their asses kicked like the space Marines in Aliens.
[MEDIAITE] Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison has officially announced his bid for chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Ever since Hillary Clinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook... ’s defeat at the hands of President-Elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , the Democratic Party has fallen into a state of disarray and panic. The election has prompted calls for new leadership, and as a popular progressive who recognized Trump’s chances of victory early on, Ellison was quickly pegged as a potential candidate for the party’s chair.
"Democrats win when we harness the power of everyday people and fight for the issues they care about," Ellison said in a statement released on Monday. "If given the opportunity to serve, I will work tirelessly to make the Democratic Party an organization that brings us together and advances an agenda that improves people’s lives."

...So, to recap:
1. A Democratic candidate runs to the far left.
2. Said candidate gets her ass handed to her, Congress remains in the hands of the other guys, as do a pretty solid majority of the state legislatures. This can in no small way be laid directly to the feet of a political philosophy that is terrifyingly liberal, anti-American, and anti-democratic.
3. After just about a week of careful, reasoned analysis of the reasons for said defeat, the Democrats nominate as their new leader someone who is even more terrifyingly liberal, anti-American, and anti-democratic.
Got it.

Trump promises to clean the MB from government. Can this be applied retroactively to those with sympathies to the MB such as Ellison? I thought the MB (or was it CAIR) was named as a co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial in Texas a few years back and considered a fellow-traveler terrorist.

They are trying to find another "Obama Hussein". Problem is Obama stuck to the teleprompter scripts and won. Plus after 8 years of such people, this ain't 2008 anymore.

[POLITICO] TALLAHASSEE — A Hillary Clinton bundler and longtime political consultant is starting an effort to draft prominent Democratic donor John Morgan to run for governor in 2018.
“He greeted it with mostly laughter,” said Ben Pollara, who helped lead the successful Morgan-funded ballot initiative this year to legalize medical marijuana. “But he did not say ‘no.’ I would not be doing this if he was not all right with it.”
Pollara is filing paperwork with the state to create the “For the Governor Political Committee.” It’s a play on “For the People,” the slogan used by Morgan & Morgan, a national personal injury law firm. Morgan, the firm's founder, did not return a request seeking comment.
The effort is being led by Pollara and fellow Democratic consultant Brian Franklin.
So far, the Democratic short list for governor in 2018 includes names like outgoing Rep. Gwen Graham of Tallahassee, Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, and Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn. Republicans considering a run include Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam and former House Speaker Will Weatherford.
“I’m just a big John Morgan fan,” Pollara said. “It’s not about not liking anyone else.”
He says so far he and Franklin have $25,000 in commitments for the political committee.
Along with leading the medical marijuana ballot initiative, Pollara also raised more than $270,000 for Clinton’s failed presidential bid.
The early push to get Morgan to run comes as Democrats deal with a difficult 2016 election cycle. They lost the presidential race, Florida’s nationally watched U.S. Senate race, and were defeated in a series high-profile legislative races.

[POLITICO] Paul Ryan ...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... is poised to win a secret-ballot election Tuesday to serve a second term as speaker, as House Republicans look to move past years of internal bickering and unite behind President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... The Wisconsin Republican, who last week started making calls to fellow politicians to lock down support, only needs the backing of a majority of the Republican conference. The bigger hurdle will come in January, when Ryan must garner a majority of politicians present -- typically 218 votes -- to keep his gavel.
Even as the conference hailed Ryan last year for stepping up to fill the leadership void left by former Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner ... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans... (R-Ohio), about 43 politicians cast ballots for protest candidate Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.). Sources expect fewer defections this time, a sign that Republicans are eager to show a united front.

Thought Ryan was firmly planted in the swamp? Flora Mae, where's my scorecard?

I don't think I would envy him the job. To a large degree it has to be like herding cats. And that applies no matter who the Speaker is or which party
[BREITBART] President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... says he wants to drain the swamp of Washington D.C., but he admits in a recent interview that he might have to rely on lobbyists to help his transition team.
During an interview with CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl, Trump admitted that he did have lobbyists on his team, but explained that it was the current state of the culture in Washington D.C.
"Everybody’s a lobbyist down there," he said. "We’re doing a lot of things to clean up the system. But everybody that works for government, they then leave government and they become a lobbyist, essentially. I mean, the whole place is one big lobbyist."
During Trump’s presidential campaign, he promised to institute a five year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after leaving government service. He also promised to create a lifetime ban of White House officials lobbying for a foreign government.
Trump indicated he would need politically connected people to help him know the system, even if they were lobbyists.
"I’m saying that they know the system right now, but we’re going to phase that out," he said during the 60 Minutes interview. "You have to phase it out."

Yes, it is. However, the real lobbyists, congresscritters, are suppose to represent the people who choose to elect them, not the money people or special interest groups that have overrun the place. Dear Donald, please stay at Trump Towers, and make the vermin come to you. Move the 'flag pole'. How many Department and agency minions want to be constantly on the train, plane, automobile to NYC every day? Let alone lobbyists who have homes in the DC suburbs.

"In short, I propose putting a 50% surtax -- or maybe it should be 75%, I'm open to discussion -- on the post-government earnings of government officials. So if you work at a cabinet level job and make $196,700 a year, and you leave for a job that pays a million a year, you'll pay 50% of the difference -- just over $400,000 -- to the Treasury right off the top. So as not to be greedy, we'll limit it to your first five years of post-government earnings; after that, you'll just pay whatever standard income tax applies.
This seems fair. After all, when it comes to your value as an ex-government official, it really is a case of "you didn't build that." Your value to a future employer comes from having held a taxpayer-funded position and from having wielded taxpayer-conferred power. Why shouldn't the taxpayers get a cut?
More significantly, it is a principle of economics that when you tax something, you get less of it. So if we're worried about revolving-door government, we should tax it, so as to get less of it.
