Do you think she needs a primary challenger? She’s always been pretty far left. Might as well challenge Liz Warren while you’re at it.
Sorry, but I do believe that a good portion of the Democratic activist base co-exists rather uneasily with Jews due to disagreement over the Israel issue.
Do you need to have the premises of coalition politics explained to you again?
How about a cite for this? My recollection is that she’s mainstream to right-leaning for a Democratic Congresswoman.
You believe all sorts of weird things about Democrats. You’re not a mind reader, and your instincts about what Democrats actually believe are terrible.
Yes, I am the power behind Florida politics. Nobody wins office unless I approve it.
Have faith. If the Dem candidate bothers some Jews being insufficiently loyal to Israel, the Pubbies will nominate somebody from StormFront.
Okay, so I will not notice Jewish Democrats being disproportionately targeted for primary challenges because there is no issue. Thanks for that reassurance.
You may, but that doesn’t mean it happened.
The post I criticized was the one you made implying that many Democrats don’t like Jews. That’s not nearly the same thing as Democratic primaries.
Actually, I just pointed out that the Democratic base is divided on Israel and that they co-exist with Jews uneasily. Issues like this tend to bring the knives out, much as it did during the Iraq war when Joe Lieberman was singled out and Clinton and Biden left alone.
Knives? What exactly do you think is going on? Are you claiming that the DNC is trying to oust Schultz because she’s Jewish? Do you really think that any primary challenge she faces must be part of a plot by the Democratic Establishment? Do you really think that in a state the size of Florida, there is nobody who would just like to be elected to Congress, and who thinks that Schultz’s very public internal conflict gives him that opportunity?
The DNC never ousts incumbents. I’m talking about the grassroots, which doesn’t actually have to conceal their problem with “Zionists”.
Lieberman wasn’t “singled out” (i.e. persona non grata among Democrats) until he started opposing his own party’s nominee.
You’re full of shit about what Democrats believe, as usual. Democrats “co-exist” just fine with Jews.
Yeah, its easier to get along with people who really hate to argue.
Aha. So the Dem grass roots has an unconcealed problem with Zionists, while the Dem establishment’s problem is concealed. So I guess your point is, Democrat = Antisemite?
And all those Dem congressmen are what, self-hating Jews?
All the Senators have now announced their support or opposition (Cantwell was the last – she’s for the deal). 42 for the deal, 58 against. The deal will go through, and any disapproval may well be filibustered (depending on whether 2 or more Democrats decide to vote for cloture even though they would uphold a veto).
The deadline to vote was something like 9/20 right? Does the treaty get signed right after that or are there more procedures to go through?
Ix-nay on the eaty-try!!
Interesting. There’s a faction of Republicans in the House who now do not want to vote on the resolution of disapproval for the Iran deal. There appear to be a significant number of Republicans who do not want to vote to disapprove the deal now – they want the Administration to provide the IAEA’s agreement with Iran (an agreement to which the US isn’t a party, for better or for worse) before considering whether to vote down the agreement.
So, the House would certainly vote to sink the deal, but those who are most fired up against the deal… just don’t want to hold that vote? Does this make a lick of sense to anyone?
They’re losing. If they can raise the level of hysteria about the “side deals”, perhaps they can win. Maybe, just maybe, they can scare enough Dems so that they could say “Well, we were reluctantly OK with The Deal, but we can’t handle the Side Deal.” All they are saying is give war a chance!
Does the G5+1 deal incorporate the terms of the IAEA deal or something?
