A ways back, I said the house donkeys (even if they, as one, transmogrify into army mules) wouldn't retake the House next November -- "till St. Hillary is burnt at the stake."
Well, let me clarify. Okay, I exaggerated, not purely for effect, but what I should have written (and what I still believe) is this:
I'd keep the prophecy line: there will be no Democratic retaking of the House till Hillary's head is in Barbara Lee's basket. But I should have added, by way of concise explanation, not all Democrats are democrats -- in fact, the inner party is quite something else.
Yes, the party per se might fall back into control -- the lesser of two drunks, after all, only has to fall asleep a few minutes later.
To put a label on what types run that party now and will if it wins next fall, it's... neo-liberal elitists. That probably gets it fair enough, if a trifle too abstract-sounding.
