Ben Kamisar — Conway: Pelosi reelection shows Dems missed lessons of 2016

Trump's advisers breath a sigh of relief as Democrats chose Establishment leaders Schumer and Pelosi to lead them rather than learning from their defeat. The Democrats have seriously lost the plot.

What a relief. I was worried they had learned from the elections & might be competitive and cohesive again. https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/804002693362700288 …

William K. Black — Democrats Need to Give Up Being Deficit Hawks Even When it Feels Good Politically

No, we need to return to non-simplistic, real economics, and stop spreading simplistic myths about money and federal deficits spread by Wall Street vultures eager to profit from the destruction of the safety net.

This is what Bernie should be saying.

I am not so sure that the Democrats are as guilty of playing politics as Bill is. I would say that they are simply financially and economically illiterate — morons rather than manipulators. They have bought into all the myths and associated shibboleths.
