1. Interesting read

2. Good article

Conservatism has been tried by both parties for over 40 years and the economy we have now, with most of the wealth sucked up by the 1% while wages for the rest of us have lost purchasing power every year. Conservatism has failed for everyone who isn't in the top 1% of wealth holders. It has failed most miserably for the bottom 80%, which is where the country lives.

And conservatives chug along, blissfully unaware of the results of their policies and incapable of realizing they don't work and will never work, no matter how long they're forced on the rest of us.

Enough.

3. The Blue Dogs and Tea Partiers have something in common.

They both think that when they fail, it is because their policies were not conservative enough.

4. Good article -- not sure it or its thinking will resonate

sufficiently for the party to recapture the House in 2018 or Senate/WH in 2018. Naysayers won't agree with the premise in the first place. On the other hand, Schumer's statement yesterday about D Party message roll out on Monday is a positive, but ... proof will be in the pudding. We shall see. Keeping my fingers crossed.

5. 'Would' or 'have'?

6. Yeah, because hardcore socialism plays so well in rural red districts...
