It is a pleasure to read Kevin Drum in Mother Jones especially when he gets on a roll. And by that I mean he starts expounding on a topic that he obviously has strong feeling about and his sentences just seem to flow off the page. The title of the article is “15 Reasons why the Democrats crushed the Republicans this week.”You will enjoy reading the article perhaps as much as Drum had in writing it.
Drum delivers a whole host of good news about what happened to the Dems in the days following the election. By contrast, the GOP had a very bad week and are are acting as though the rug is being pulled out from under them. The Dems won the House, picked up seven governorships, and may be down only 52 -48 in the Senate when all the votes are counted. And of course the Florida governor and senate races are still up for grabs.
The kerfuffle between Trump and Bob Acosta during a press conference resulted in Acosta losing his press pass. Trump comes off the dust-up looking even more nasty and overly defensive. Some reporters are suggesting that the altercation was set up in advance by the Trump team to get rid of Acosta and scare the rest of the media. Whatever the intent , Trump is looking and sounding more irrational and pugnacious.
Lets enjoy our good news – starting with the election. And let Drum’s prediction about 2020 start you off on a high note this week.. Enjoy the article.
