Yet again the voice of reason on this site David. I dislike the democrats driving voters to trumpy candidates. Let me be more blunt, i hate it. I also agree, In Wyoming, democrats should have crossed over and voted for Liz. Whole different scenario and acknowledging the price she will pay for her service to her country would have been great to see. I don't, never have believed that winning is everything.

We'll have to see if a bunch go through and do same-day registration to do so...

Whoever is running the strategy for the Dems needs a kick in the head....

Liz is a good conservative. She could have won if she worked the system instead of spoiling for a fight.

*gave up her principles in the interest of political expediency and power

Corrected that for you :-)

David did you vote for Hillary Clinton? If not, how do you think you have the right to tell democrats that they should vote for someone they disagree with 100 percent of the time to save the other side from themselves?

People need to earn my vote and just living in reality isn't good enough. I don't owe Steve Berman or any other pathetic wanna be victim any saving. I would never vote for Liz Cheney. If you want democrats help you better start moderating your candidates. And like I said just believing in reality isn't moderate.

Living in reality does matter: if you live in a district that's guaranteed to elect a GOP representative, then it makes sense to get the most sane person you can.

Just think about that. The other side has gotten so bad we now have to dismiss every democrat agenda and want just to save the idiots from the evil. No, I would rather watch America burn than be Steve Berman's real savior. Maybe they should take some responsibility and vote democrat no matter who we nominate. That would be the mature thing to do.

Again, if it's a district that will no matter what go for the GOP candidate whomever they may be - vote for the sane GOP rep. Otherwise you end up giving power to the crazies - which is a really dumb idea.

And note: we're talking about primaries, not general elections. Vote Dem in the general election after voting sane GOP in the primary: you give up nothing that way.

Well you give up your ability to pick which democrat you want to run.

There typically isn't much of an option in those districts: there may not even be a Democrat running, for example.
