Senator Leahy shut your face

Senator Leahy we can win the Bolton battle but not if you give up. Steve Clemons at The Washington Note has the details.

Senator Leahy is opposed to John Bolton but seems to want to convey that in the end John Bolton is going to squeak through. This comment is not only wrong-headed but undermines the very hard work and serious effort expended by the many outside the Senate who have been doing battle on the Bolton nomination -- and undermines Leahy's Senate colleagues Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, Barbara Boxer, and others.

Something Seriously wrong....

.....with a political party that keeps conceding defeat before the battle has begun -- or wants to forfeit the possibility of winning when in fact those OPPOSED to John Bolton have been the ones WINNING this effort.

No matter what the effort when individuals or political parties give up the fight before the battle is over they lose. Giving up has been the Modus Operandi of the Democratic party for six years and that's why they have constantly lost.
