I mean...yeah. It was totally obvious at the time how dumb all the purity tests were. The majority of the base just had no interest in fighting small differences that would never come close to becoming reality, even more so b/c of Trump.
But you had a super vocal minority that went around screaming about how like supporting Michael Bennett was akin to genocide or w/e. And the awful political media and debate moderators ran with it bc nothing is more thrilling to them than seeing the Dems tear each other apart.
Just a total waste of time.

Also don't think it was a coincidence that the candidate who won was the one who was absolutely the least interested in all of these silly fights.
Arsonist claims he never really liked setting the fires, anyway.

The Daily Caller is basically just Glem's hype man now.
lmao. Find me someone this pettily consumed with ratings. Save for Donald Trump (who he does not support), you can't.
Also, Joy Reid should probably take out a restraining order on him, at this point. He is utterly obsessed with her (and Maddow).

*Trump partisan sycophant, who Trump nominated to his position does a thing*

Aha, it's clear that this guy is a rogue Deep State saboteur. A principled peace-man like Trump (who I do not support) would never!
Lol even the very article Glem cites explicitly says that Trump was the one who ordered but he is so pathologically wedded to the Trump Innocent narrative, he has to create some laughable 'Deep State' conspiracy.
During the good ol' "Russia Hoax" days, Glem used to knock all the people who took 'thinly sourced' stories like this one as blind partisans who would believe anything.......and in arguing with one of the authors of this piece, no less. But this one is different (confirms biases)

Hmmm it's almost as if those of us who pointed out that this person was a nefarious (barely) crypto-RW were completely right and those who defended her Left Wing bonafides were faceplant-level wrong. Whodathunkit?
Absolutely nailed it.
Yet another narrative he went 100% head-first into and led the push for...that he was 100% wrong about. If only he was capable of feeling shame, I'm sure he'd be pretty embarrassed right now.

The reality is McConnell knows he can get away with the absolute most dangerous & shameful gaslighting behavior because the political media will spend 50x as much time talking about 'Dems in disarray' than calling him out for taking the economy hostage.
There is just absolutely no appetite among the 'objective' press corps for any sort of sustained coverage of GOP dangerous behavior, lest they get accused of being 'biased' (the worst thing in the world).

Not a single tweet about the 6-point plan put forward by Trump's lawyer to overturn the election but there are more important news stories to tweet about.

(Also, neither of these are tweets lol)

Also, currently doing a 100 tweet thread ranting about the Hunter Biden emails, for the 30th time.
There's a consistent journalistic strategy Mr. Last True Journalist does when a major piece of data comes out that's contrary to one of the narratives he's been obsessively pushing ("no coup"), and that's to just completely ignore it. Just pretend like it never even happened.

Hahaha.
But mah SpyGate! Obamagate! The REAL scandal was The Deep State coup or something. Investigate the investigators.
I would sure feel like a big ol' dipshit if I went all in on this (in addition to going all in on "Trump & Russia is a total hoax") story. Nobody in particular I'm subtweeting.
Hey @ggreenwald. Good news. You got the investigation you wanted so badly and it turned up.......nothing. Surely you will be relieved and will let your followers know that there was no real wrongdoing. Image
