    Miriam Adelson looks like she'd have to think before choosing between a month of Clockwork Orange-style aversion therapy with non-stop screenings of "The Gilmore Girls" and a blow to the head. Okay, I might have trouble with that one, too, but still...

    There is one. It's called Revelation.

    This sums things up, I believe.

    Republican: I'm telling Democrats how to beat Trump in 2020. It's Job One so get over it.

    Democrats have one job in 2020: Beating Donald Trump. Nothing else matters. If progressives manage to mess this up by insisting on hard-left positions and ideological purity, they will own Trump’s second term. There is a time and a place for everything. When the ship is sinking and you find yourself in a lifeboat, you don’t argue about where you want to go, you head for the nearest land. Further travel arrangements can wait until you’re back in civilization.

    There are four states that matter in 2020: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Florida. Win three out of four of those states and Trump is a one-term president. No matter how popular something might be with activists in Los Angeles or donors in Manhattan, it’s dead weight or worse if it isn’t a winner with Rotary Club members in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

    Democrats could, however, easily expand this four-state map — for the Republicans. Want to put Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada and New Hampshire in play? Easy. Just run on policies like eliminating private health insurance, reparations for slavery, legalizing drugs and decriminalizing prostitution. Every one of these projects has been pushed by one or more Democratic presidential candidates. There may be things to be said for all of these issues. And someday, we should have a serious policy debate about them. Today is not that day.

    Anyone who works for the Faux Fascist Noise /Rupert Murdoch media empire should know goddamn well what they're signing up for.

    Plus remember any black person(s) affiliated with those entities is there for one purpose: sooner or later, to act like a stereotypical n***** r, so the audience full of Leroys and Louellas can nod to each other and chuckle and say, "yup, that's what those people do."

    So big burly black-rapper dude paired up with bouncy bleach-blonde Barbie-doll white bimbo ... hmmm yeah, not too hard to guess how the script on that is going to go.

    I will note that marijuana is legal in Colorado and prostitution in Nevada, so maybe they're not vote killers in those states. This is the classic pundit whipsaw Democrats face. Rest assured that if the two dozen candidates spent all day every day saying nothing but "Trump sucks," this dude and others like him would we writing "you have to tell the voters what you're FOR!"

    Sounds like that group that wanted to make Reagan the fifth face on Mt. Rushmore.

    I heard the Nazis were real good at installing ovens and inviting people over for cookouts. Nothing like the aroma of smoking meat.
