At this rate, House Democrats aren't going to be able to bring the resolution "Rejecting Anti-Semitism" to the floor for a vote today. They cannot pass it without Republicans if it doesn't get watered down with other forms of bigotry.

There's only one reason for that.
The Democratic Party in control of the U.S. House can not gather enough votes to save face on a resolution simply condemning Jew-hating.

Even a watered down version--to the point there's no meaning anymore--didn't go well.
Imagine the coverage if Republicans couldn't muster enough votes to simply "reject anti-Semitism"?

I've said it before... Marc Caputo does a lot of great work down here.

That said, I think we've established journalists should be careful when touting polls in this state, particularly those who don't have a proven track record.

602RVs?

Give me a break.
Getting a lot of questions about my comments on that poll Marc at Politico published re: Florida. Let me elaborate.

That is a partisan poll for a primary. It's not abnormal to oversample the party you are targeting. It is abnormal/dishonest to sell it as a representative poll.
I don't know how many cycles, and how many embarrassments we're going to have to endure before caution is exercised in Florida. As I showed Gerri Willis at Fox Biz last cycle, we deal in tens of percentage points.

They polled 600RVs, > 300 Dems. We'll interview 300 Hispanics.

Not that I'm shocked.

But @MarkWarner collapsing on @marthamaccallum after being asked about his claim there was "enormous evidence" of Trump-Russia collusion.

He pointed "to what was already in the public domain," and cited a bunch of debunked and overblown stories.
Mark Warner also said he's "been in politics a long time" and "never seen this many contacts with a foreign power."

That is complete and total nonsense.
Finally, @MarkWarner said he's "reserving all judgement" but these facts (debunked) are "indisputable."

I did this thread on @MarkWarner to show you what happens when a reporter pushes back on these claims. It's the reason @RepAdamSchiff is afraid to go on Fox.

He collapsed.

Is The Washington Post indeed a fake fact-checker?

Where's Glenn Kessler on these false claims of voter suppression?

Stacey Abrams didn't lose Georgia B/C of voter suppression. The claim itself demonstrates a gross ignorance to state election laws & how elections are conducted.
If Stacey Abrams had a legit beef, and she does not, it would be with the Democratic SoEs, not Brian Kemp.

Yet, everyone from Elizabeth Warren to Hillary Clinton has repeated that lie, and Mr. Kessler spends his time rewriting what Donald Trump says in a SOTU to make it untrue.
H/T @WayneDupreeShow: Here's Hillary Clinton claiming she lost Wisconsin because of voter suppression.

Where's Glenn?

In a week where #Democrats have been trying to one-up each other for who can be the craziest, I’m going to rant about why @IlhanMN continues to lead the pack. (1)
Starting with her soft stance on #ISIS. In 2016, @IlhanMN asked for leniency in the sentencing of 9 Minnesota men who attempted to join ISIS, the terrorist organization famous for filming beheadings, owning sex slaves, and trying to destroy the West. - fox9.com/news/minnesota… (2)
According to @IlhanMN, lenient sentencing would somehow create less of an incentive for future recruits to join ISIS -- which is absolutely naïve, outrageous, and lacks evidence. (3).

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter

Democrats, I am going to try to warn you again about the Wolf PAC. If you’ve ever heard the expression “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” you know that this can be dangerous. The Wolf PAC = Young Turks (on youtube). #NoConCon
Young Turks are posing as progressive Democrats and there are many indications that they are not what they seem to be. Here’s an article that says they helped Trump get elected:
huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-the-…
The Young Turks claim to be the Breitbart of the left, but honest:
Wolf PAC claims to be nonpartisan. This is confusing. But not really.
