arizona1 -- we failed in 2010 and 2014 -- huge turnout failures scarcely traceable back to any one party/campaign apparatchik -- I get that you don't like Deb, she's no favorite of mine either -- but in the scope/generality of what you're blaming on her, as if she's been some critical crux/pivot point responsible for two whole national elections heading way south, I think you may be into a bit of the forest for a tree -- she just isn't and never has been that important, powerful or consequential -- has she done her job pretty poorly? -- yeah, I'd agree, not good at all -- but has she done all that much damage, all by herself, never mind everything else that's been going on in this country in the meantime? -- I'd say that's a stretch -- . . .

Totally agree on Saturday night debates - who thought that was a good idea? To me it shows an arrogance, an expectation that voters are smart enough to know the Repub party continues to attract fringe pols and cannot attract serious talent, which became evident when the GOP put Sarah Palin on their nat'l ticket.
