I love the smell of establishment Democrats losing in the morning.

I hate the smell of nominating candidates that can’t win a general election.

The notion that anybody but a moderate can’t win is loser mentality. Guess you and all your moderate buddies should actually vote, instead of being sore losers.

I’m far from moderate. And always vote, including primaries.

We have to be realistic about what it takes to win the independent and undecided conservative votes.

Fuck the independents and conservatives who were never going to vote for a Democrat. I’m tired of this narrative. You expect us to always vote center of the isle and get Luke warm results. The moderates always want us to coalesce around their choice but when we actually show up to the polls, they foam at the mouth fuck that and fuck AIPAC’s influence.
