McCaskill warns Democratic donors of pitfalls of blocking Trump nominee for high court

91. If only she was as smart and politically savvy as you are. (Sigh.)

Hey, I've got an idea... as punishment, why not "primary her" to make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that a Republican Senator takes her place. The hard left is demonizing the wrong person. This is not McCaskill's fault. I know there's a certain element that will always "hate" her because she's "not-Bernie-enough" for them, and because she's a "convenient" target... but seriously, they are wasting time and effort. She does represent Missouri and that's just reality. People like that should learn to accept reality.

let me ask this (blah-blah-blah)

I'm not a mind reader. It's impossible for me to determine what her motivations were. Maybe it was because she wanted to signal to the people who'd be harassing her and suggesting that she's a "traitor" or a "saboteur" that they would be smarter to focus their efforts elsewhere, instead of wasting their hate and venom on her. But if that was actually her motivation, it would certainly be aimed at someone who was actually smart enough to take-the-hint rather than obsessing over one person.

Has anyone thought about obsessing over Senator Manchin? He seems vulnerable. Maybe he could be harassed and primaried and replaced. I wonder what kind of Republican those West Virginians would choose in his place?

Throw all the venom and sarcasm you want (blah-blah)

Venom? No. Sarcasm? Yes! I've not attacked you personally. I've sarcastically questioned methods and wording and characterization and obsession with/of her. I've ridiculed an apparent unwillingness to accept the reality of her state's historic and traditional redness. I've questioned the wisdom of trying to oust an actual Democrat who caucuses with us (an who'd likely be replaced by a Republican if the obsessive desire to "get-her-outta-there" and "throw-the-bums-out" were to become reality) but I haven't spewed venom at you or personally attacked you. That's an unfair and untrue accusation. I've been barbed and pointed, but I haven't attacked you.
