"The Democratic grassroots are shaking with energy. In a series of special elections across the country, in a range of districts, Democrats have consistently outperformed results in previous elections. Money is flowing to Democrats challenging Republican incumbents, and a new cadre of activists is taking charge of local elections. Most election analysts give the party even odds, maybe better, of taking back the House. Control of the Senate could even be contested.
None of this matters, or registers, in public discourse, which is dominated by the various scandals, falsehoods, missteps, cover-ups, firings, hirings, incoherence, pathos, threats and random crude exertions of the Trump administration. The Free Beacon features an article by Matthew Continetti headlined “The Media is Killing the Democratic Party.” Continetti cites (slightly) rising approval ratings for Trump and a declining preference for congressional Democrats in recent polls to reach the conclusion that the Stormy Daniels scandal is sucking the life out of the Democrats’ message."
I'd say that unless there's something much bigger than sex and payoffs, the Stormy story is ultimately going to help Trump's case. If some bigger story arises that involved coercion and mob connected violent threats, that's another story. If Cohen's files give some proof of business tactics that are more Russian mob connected than just typical shady Trump shit, that's another story as well.
That article was horribly disingenuous, and as filled with lies and half truths as Stormy Daniels is filled with...
The author made about five attempts to “virtue signal” his agreement with the media agenda that “Trump is a chaotic, incompetent, corrupt, horrible liar who is wrecking the country.”
In the wake of all those cringing bows to his media masters, the author’s feeble critiques of both the Democrats lack of a coherent message and his own profession’s ongoing suicide-by-succubus rang very hollow.
