For no reason other than that I can…
Hillary supporters turn out for book signing at Denver's Tattered Cover
I guess maybe Mikey Half-Price has a few things to learn.
Come on, Mike.
Sen. Tate's Supporters Lobbied In Front Of His Committee, Gave To His Campaign
Previously, on ColoradoPols.
It's one part of a picture. But you kind of have to expect that people who have had dealings with Tate would be the ones more likely to actually voice an opinion one way or another. Barring what they say is like, oh, asking for a jury of Trump supporters when you've conspired to blow up Muslims… On the other side, 100 people could come forward to say that Tate is a great guy; that doesn't negate a claim of harassment.
A Jewish lawyer, a child prostitute, and Steve Bannon walk into a GOP rally . . .

. . . “vote for Roy Moore!”
We ain't prejudicial. We got us a Jew lawyer!
What used to be everyone’s imagined stereotype of an Alabamian.
Probably a Jewish accountant, too. Go for a Jewish tax lawyer to hit the perfecta.
That Jewish lawyer was probably a 14 year old girl.
oye vey
Or maybe "Oyeh vey?"
One biting review of the Moore rally — Roy Moore Emerges From Hiding for Election Eve Rally, and Good Lord, Was It Weird
Could this be the end for Trump? Is this the "jump the shark" tweet that finally disgusts even Republicans?
Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

No.
Excellent analysis from Paul Krugman:
I’m really looking forward to the 2018 elections — we’ll all get to send a little FU note to our favorite Republicans.
GOP Election Strategy 1.0…
Elections were made to be stolen…
Is that a quote from that good ol' boy Texas gerrymanderer, Tom Delay?
Whatever happen to him? The last I recall, he appeared on DWTS and the felony charges against him were thrown out. What became of the Big Roach Killer? (And I'm not referring to Jeff Sessions.)
Assume the Republican Congress CAN overcome their inherent conflicts and actually pass a bill for Trump to sign [not a sure bet, by most accounts].
The impacts of many of the decisions of the current Republican majorities in the House and Senate will not be felt before the 2018 election. The deficit and its implications will not be clear before there is an effort to go after "entitlements" (Ryan's dream), further increase the military and security budgets without changing the "discretionary" spending for the civilian side of the budget, and gut PAYGO restrictions that would trigger immediate program spending.
50% or more of the populace will not connect cause and (inevitable) effect, so they will be voting on tribal connections, their understanding of the party's claims and the personalities of those running. There will be Republican House losses in 2018, but it is hard to imagine a large enough tsunami to sweep away the Republican majority.
To the extent voters (as opposed to just people) still follow the news, the general media seems to be less of a stenographer for the GOP and more willing to challenge the talking points — hence the overwhelming unpopularity of this tax bill in all the polls.
We need to stop letting Republicans set the public's perception, but to do that we need to get our own message out, which has been sorely lacking for the last couple of years.
