re: #170 Blind Frog Belly White

The Bully Pulpit argument. You know, like we could have had the Public Option if only Obama had used the Bully Pulpit!

Christ, the people who voted for Trump don’t care EVEN NOW that the Russians tried to tilt the election for him. But Obama saying it in the heat of the election season would have worked.

It would have likely worked on enough people to swing the result, and more importantly would have exposed the plotters so that they couldn’t fool the unwary. But no.

The Democrats will need to get a lot more aggressive to win a national majority again, and that includes with their own. Tim Ryan and Seth Moulton, along with their obvious inspiration in the junior Senator from Vermont, should all have been expelled from the caucus by now for their reckless and mindless assault on Pelosi. But no.
