Just the type of “blue” meat that will shore up the base for tonight’s SOTU.
And just the type of arrogant obliviousness to the other 80% of the country that will lead to record-setting losses in November…

that will lead to record-setting losses in November
Can I hold you to that? I think we will lose seats, but not 2006 or 1994 level.

Disaster poll: (CNN)

They’ve completely failed to provide real reform which the majority of the country wants. They tossed aside the “public option” which a majority of the country was in favor of.

They utterly failed to lead when the country voted them into historically high majorities in both changers of Congress.

Of course they’re tone deaf.
