Billy, I swear upon all that is holy, the Washington Compost actually did put this on-line. No fingers crossed, my hand to God and the polygraph people.

And no, I absolutely didn't believe a word of it, either, until I followed the link.

As for Shrill having even an iota of a chance in 2020, first she has to have the physical stamina which she definitely lacked this last time. (Someone here mentioned the Donks creating a version of Lenin's corpse to truck around on the circuit. Are we ready for that much re-invigoration?)

Also: a number of her key people will be tied up in one court case or another and the money from foreign sources are doubtlessly flowing toward younger more viable candidates --- assuming Donks come up with any. Needle meet haystack.

The Democrats have always relied heavily on dead voters,
so it was inevitable that they would eventually run a dead candidate.

To be fair, the article is an opinion article written by Ed Rogers, whose contributions to the opinion page of the WAPO have always been critical of the dims. (WAPO's method of being "fair and balanced".) So, nope, WAPO isn't suddenly becoming an honest news outlet - not by a long shot.

About Ed Rogers:

QuoteEd Rogers is a contributor to the PostPartisan blog, a political consultant and a veteran of the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush White Houses and several national campaigns. He is the chairman of the lobbying and communications firm BGR Group, which he founded with former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour in 1991.

Probably kissing up to Trump so they can get called on at the press briefings. There is always a method to their madness.

You give way too much credence to a pack of jackals glued to Obama's leg, his entire eight years.

To be fair,

Pfui and hogwash. I have no intention whatsoever of being fair to a media as biased as they are. Change parties if you defend the Washington Pest, or the Carlos Slim-owned New York Times.

It appeared there, and was ample amusement when it did. Why? Who knows! Rogers isn't all that conservative, but of course neither are they.

Yeah you're probably right. Lets see how long the Washington Post can hang onto Trump's leg before they lose grip.

"Elizabeth Warren is a grandstanding phony"

There was an episode of the TV show 30 Rock
where they made fun of grandstanding phonies
by having Queen Latifah portray a Congresswoman
standing up during a committee hearing and shouting,

"It makes no difference what I say!
But if I stand up and say it dramatically enough,
people will stand up and cheer for me
as if I had said something important!"

And of course, people stood up and cheered for her
as if she had said something important!

I meant being fair to our readers by providing complete information - and nowhere did I call Rogers "conservative". The referenced article is an OP written by their token contributing writer they keep around to show how "balanced" they are. He uses deliberately inflammatory phraseology, IMO, to ridicule real conservative writers. My point is the article in no way indicates a change in attitude on the part of WaPo regardless of how Rogers headlines his "criticisms". They are and always will be PRAVDA wannabes for the dim party.
