Joe Donnelly is no prize, either. As if what the Senate Democratic caucus needs is another Joe “Nighthorse” Manchin.
Maybe he’ll have a conversion experience contemplating Mourdock, instead of trying to become virtually indistinguishable from him.

How the hell do you think Ronald Reagan got big tax cuts through a democratic House and a Senate with less than 60 GOP VOTES?
Tax cuts are popular? Half the Demcocrats in the Senate and House are Republicans? Filibustering everything wasn’t the norm yet? The Senate wasn’t actually Democratic?
Just spit-balling here….

Early in my time in the Senate, [ed. 2008] single-payer proponents–led by organizers from the California Nurses Association–visited to seek Senator Kennedy’s support for single payer as the path to national reform. We asked them how many senators they knew supported their preference. “We haven’t done a head count,” they said, and they never provided one. Senator Kennedy’s health team had done one–the Medicare for All legislation he sponsored earlier in the decade had garnered zero cosponsors.

What’s so funny? He didn’t mention the public option so much as once.
