I wrote this last year, but it's evergreen. In 2008, Deutsch called Palin a "new feminist ideal:" because "I want her watching my kids … I want her laying in bed next to me...women want to be her, men want to mate with her" He's paid to explain politics. thecut.com/2019/07/politi…
In a 2005 book he wrote "I cannot remember a time in my career when I was not having either a flirtation with a woman in the office, or a friendship, a fantasy, or all of the above. I am at my best when women are there to energize & excite me." He's tasked with political analysis
This morning he explained that Warren's electability challenges aren't tied to gender or sexism, rather they exist because she is strident. This guy's wisdom is remunerated and broadcast widely to viewers wanting to understand the election.
To my mind, the story here is not that Deutsch is a toad. It's that he, & others who voice similar attitudes, have been the ones (well) paid to shape the story of this primary. So when you wonder how it's shaken out the way it has, look at the storytellers.
