Then there was the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth smear campaign from the 2004 presidential election, which targeted Kerry and his war service in Vietnam. The partisan Republican accusers famously manufactured nearly every allegation they made about Kerry. They lied about documents. They lied about eyewitnesses. And they lied about their partisan leanings and connections. Despite the lack of evidence to substantiate their claims, which were floated 35 years after the fact, the press refused, in real time, to call out the Swift Boat allegations as a dirty trick.
As bad as the MSM is on repeating these (should be) easily debunked conspiracy theories, Democrats have had plenty of experience in what to expect, and we still fall into the same rhetorical traps time after time after time. And what Bernie did on 60 minutes was just so tone deaf to the realities of the political climate i thought it was immediately disqualifying. His desire to be right was more important than the viability of his campaign. Just inexcusable. Democrats act out of fear nearly all the damn time and it rarely works out for us. I hope Bloomberg aligns his digital team to the efforts of the D candidate and continues the work of exposing trump which clearly the DCCC and DNC are petrified to do.
Really enjoying Press Run, and never miss you on Stephanie Miller .... or AM Joy....but OMG you linked to one of my most favorite songs ever..... even if it is about her dog..... just memorably beautiful and moving. Thank you!
Clearly the author is making the ridiculous assumption that if we pick someone other than Biden there won’t be a scandal problem. Guess he forgot about Kerry cheating to get his medals for bravery.....
I don't think we can expect the DC media to give up the practice of parroting Trump's debunked conspiracy theories and childish taunts, but this time around, we've seen that voters are simply tuning out Trump. The turnout numbers on Super Tuesday were staggering. An added factor is the complete and utter bungling by the Trump administration in the management, containment, and transparency around the Coronavirus. Not only are testing kits STILL not widely available, but the CDC website is wildly inaccurate. I do think this may be the 'X' factor that changes everything, no matter how deficient the media reporting continues to be.

The US sends bombs, Cuba sends doctors, but communism is evil and capitalism is both democratic and holy.

Here we go. This is the headline of a story posted a short while ago on Vox:
The Democratic Party’s risky bet on Biden:
Picking Biden over Sanders might seem like the safe electability choice, but the Ukraine situation makes Biden much riskier than many believe.
