Today’s link is from site favorite Ruy Teixeira. Teixeira is considered something of an apostate by those in charge of his Democratic party. That’s because he often criticizes them for, well, dismissing criticism no matter the cost to the party. It would be one thing if this cost were merely theoretical, but the polls back Teixeira up. A lot. Some of the numbers he provides in today’s link are eye-popping. So the mandarins better get to listening and quick. They barely have a year to right the ship. If they don’t, they could be flat on their backs wondering what happened… and how it happened again.
