It's Thursday, so Howie Klein is here from his perch at Down With Tyranny and the Blue America PAC. Since election season is here, he's bringing on one of the Blue America-endorsed candidates for Congress, Jerrod Christian, running in Ohio's 12th District. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJkwnjk0nn4

One of his Blue America-endorsed candidates, Nina Turner, was defeated in a special primary to fill the congressional seat vacated by Marcia Fudge. She joined the administration as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The problem is, Nina Turner was targeted by the Democratic party establishment with a big assist [...]
It's Thursday, which means that Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC joins Nicole to talk politics. Today they discuss Tuesday's first big primary day of the '18 midterms plus how racism was just codified by the House. Nicole also welcomes David Pepper, chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party to talk about the anti-gerrymandering ballot measure that actually passed in Tuesday's election.
This professional grade revisioning is so cringeworthy it could hurt, fair warning. Regressives are just having a banging week. [Two take the urinal cake.] Mister Pittenger takes his cake for running a Fifties filter on life … until you run into a Trumpette that believes we are post-post-racial/sexist. […]
Today is the day your 2015 income taxes are due. It's a good day to compare and contrast the candidates to see how your dollars would be spent in their respective administrations. Today, Joel Silberman returns as he votes in NY tomorrow. And Cliff Schecter sets the record straight on John Kasich, the governor of his home state, and I coin a new term, Kasichsplaining

Yesterday, I wrote about the GOP's "rebranding" effort following their "autopsy" in the wake of the 2012 elections. Let it be known that they're doing the exact opposite of everything recommended in that report.
