Rick Wilson, author of “Everything Trump Touches Dies,” is a GOP consultant and one of a tiny handful of Republicans I trust:
1/ Tough love:

You know who benefits from the House civil war being waged by AOC?
Donald Trump, that's who.
The new class of Democrats has more Katie Porters and Conor Lambs than AOCs, but hey, it's just the majority of the only body you control at stake, and the Presidency.
2/ You don't want to hear it. You don't want the understand it. I promise you, my TL is about to turn into a tu quoque nightmare.

And yet, I persist.
You control *one* house of *one* branch and that one house needs to be absolutely unified and focused.
3/ So choose one:

A) a grinding legislative and strategic program where no one gets everything they want but that holds together a caucus full of new members from swing districts and serves as a counterweight to Trump.
B) Burn down Pelosi, feed Trump, and lose.
4/ The choice isn't "AOC or Nancy"…the choice is "Nancy or Trump."

But by all means, y'all do you.
5/ And before you accuse (which you will, no matter what I say, but here's to it):

This isn't me being critical of a progressive or a woman or a woman of color or blah blah blah. This isn't a conservative or GOP critique. This is *just* politics.

If Speaker Pelosi is suppose to be the orchestra leader as Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell keeps saying she is, then her orchestra is playing way out of tune these days and it’s not all on the Left hand side of the room.
Neither Democratic Representative Lacy Clay of Missouri, with his screwy reasoning of when and when not to use the “race card,” or Democratic Representative Greg Meeks of the NY 5th, with his threat to primary Ocasio-Cortez, is helping Pelosi’s cause in any way.
“The times they are a-changing,” so “lead, follow or get out of the way.”
Here’s some advice ‘for’ a never-Trumper……….Fuck off.
The Democratic Party leadership is too old, too conservative, too corrupt, and too unresponsive to its constituents. I’d rather burn it down to the ground and follow AOC into the wilderness for the rest of my life than pretend it’s all right to coddle right wing blue dogs while finger-wagging at AOC. Those assholes have been talking out both sides of their mouths and backing loser right-wing candidates for forty years now, and losing, losing, losing. They are are as contemptible as they are morally repulsive and incompetent. No doubt they are outraged that their shenanigans are coming to an end; they will say and do anything to continue their revolting agreements, lifestyles, compromises, and perquisites, while they continue to push crap neoliberal economic legislation that hurts everyone but their wealthy campaign contributors, all the while pushing the Overton window farther and farther to the right. AOC and the Justice Democrats are right to fight. They’re right to fight Trump. They’re right to fight the pampered asses of the Democratic Party. What is Pelosi doing? Is she going full steam ahead with impeachment? Chopping Chuck Schumer’s balls off for the immigration bill? Pushing forward with investigations of Trump cabinet members? No. She’s fighting AOC. Pelosi and the leadership has got to go. Yesterday.
And look who just took sides on this disagreement:

Oh the man who promoted sarah palin and as soon as the d’s start winning takes cheap shots.
He should never have been allowed to appear as a “liberal/resistance” figure. He is the scorpion in the old fable of the frog and the scorpion just waiting for the most damaging time to stick it to the “libs”.
If he was serious let him stand up and admit his sins.
Every document, email, message, note whatever he ever exchanged with any thuglicans must be made public.
Every penny – this means the gross and includes costs of benefits, per diem, flight costs every penny – he took from thuglicans for helping destroy the country must be donated to the ACLU.
He must stand loud and proud in condemning addled ronnie raygun as a fraud who trashed the US economy and desecrated the country with his delusional fantasies of an addled mid Condemn perjurer poppa ( what diary’s Oh you mean these diary’s) as criminal that should have died in jail and who abused his pardon power just to stay out of jail. Offer to deliver the twit and his puppet master cheney to the Hague for war crimes convictions, just as the bounty hunters delivered murderers to the law.
Then and only maybe will I give him credit for being anything but slime looking for a profit no matter how or from whom.
His behavior reminds me of mafia chieftains who become religious in their old age with the hope of atoning for his crimes.
He is and was trash
Cannot accept his opinion on anything as being honest since he is incapable of being honest.
