Stacey who?
When all you got is whining it makes sense to get the best whiner.
“While we cannot comment on the specifics of an ongoing investigation, I can confirm that the Democratic Party of Georgia is under investigation for possible cyber crimes,” secretary of state spokeswoman Candice Broce said.
Speaking of whining!
What investigation?
You mean like the ongoing one on the 80,000 vote undercount?
I don’t get it. Controlling the House in representation of the majority of Americans is not something?
You guys would probably feel better if you skip her response. I know I won’t listen to her, but then I won’t listen to Trump either. Does that make me a bad person?
Cool.
If I were the dems I would have picked someone who actually won a contested race.
To your point, I think this is an olive branch to the folks in the cry-closet over at Slate/HuffPo/NYMag over Beto-mania. “But, but, but…Stacey almost won too!?! How come she isn’t seen as the next Obama too?!?!?”
She clearly made connections on the national level, and they clearly want to keep her relevant. I.e., this move is much more likely to be about the future, and not the past. Plus, anyone who did cry stopped crying like the day after the election. Then, like big boys and girls, you get back to work.
Thought abt that, but: 1) She may not be a starter, but you still give the bench some playing time when you can, to keep them up to par; and 2) The response to the SoTU is generally a losing game, anywys, so what better than to put in someone that has nothing to lose, really, and is just hungry for a win?
Is Bobby Jindal still available?
