Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
People need to stop listening to Democratic consultants who regularly lose elections for the wisdom of who Americans ‘will’ or ‘will not’ vote for.
It really is mind-blowing. If you asked a DC consultant whether Donald Trump could win the Presidency in 2016 - much less 2024 - I gotta wonder what they’d tell you. Hillary Clinton thought her biggest competition was going to come from Jeb Bush. They didn’t even see Ted Cruz coming, nevermind Donald Trump.
Two huge red-flags for me: When she got her ankles broken on the court by MTG on weapons to Israel, and her more recent failure to endorse the chief of staff who ran the campaign that got her into office. Not to mention her perpetual machiavelian calculating she does. Its wayyyyyy too similar to Pelosi, and I’m losing faith in her.
She’s got Beltway Disease. It comes for a lot of inexperienced and naive outsider candidates.
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington isn’t fictional because it presupposes a Joe Everyman disgusted with the sausage making of politics. It’s fictional because it presumes Mr. Smith wouldn’t be easily seduced and incorporated into the sausage-making process.
