Democrats, get your damned big-boy pants on
The Washington Post's PostPartisan ^ | September 19, 2016 | Jonathan Capehart

If the presidential election were the Olympics, bed-wetting would be a sport and Democrats would be the undisputed gold-medal winners. Every four years, they grouse about their nominee and then freak out when a race they believe said nominee should win looks as though it’s lost. Remember what happened when President Obama muffed the first debate with Mitt Romney in 2012? And today, the closing poll numbers between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have Democrats in a near panic.

Look, I get it. The race between Clinton and Trump should not even be close. Or, as my colleague Eugene Robinson wrote last week, “In a sane and just world, this presidential race would be a walkover.” Trump appealed to the darker angels of the Republican Party base with an unabashedly racist, xenophobic, nativist and misogynistic campaign to win the nomination and is continuing same to be elected president.

That the polls are closing or have Trump leading in key battleground states despite this is worthy of a freak-out. But if that’s all Democrats do between now and Election Day, then they will have only themselves to blame for the horror that would be “President-elect Trump.”(continued)

"Trump appealed to the darker angels of the Republican Party base with an unabashedly racist, xenophobic, nativist and misogynistic campaign to win the nomination and is continuing same to be elected president."

Just shows they STILL don't get it.

These are true believers. They totally, 100%, fall for the horseshit!t the government and democrat politicians shovel.

Its the WaPo bubble. Seriously - there is an amazing level of group-think inside the beltway.

This is my favorite part about politics, watching Democrats squirm.

I think the writer means big-boy pajamas, thongs, dominance-themed leather and ball-gags.

WaPo seems to just hire any old hack to write for them these days.

In a sane and just world Hillary would be in Leavenworth and Bill would already be dead.

In a sane and just world, Hillary would be in prison for mishandling classified information.

50 days is a long time. The progressives will do anything. Just ask Seth Rich.

Criticize, marginalize, demonize, criminalize. We will be entering the criminalize phase in October when Obama Justice department fabricates it’s own rumors then and launches investigations against Trump.

It's NOT close. Trump leads by 2-3 times the most optimistic of the polls, which don't see the light of day in most MSM outlets.

I agree with him, the race between Clinton and Trump should not be close. Trump should be winning by 30 to 40 points!

1. Jonathan Capehart is a punk. Calling Eugene Robinson a “colleague” is an admission of punkism.

2. The only RAT I can imagine wearing big-boy pants is Rachel Maddow.

And we will have a civil war like none ever seen in the history of the earth.

The commie ‘RATS don’t own any “big boy” pants. It’s Speedos or a dress. OTOH, a lot of the ‘RAT women own pants.

Big boy pants? What a misogynist thing to say.
Is this guy voting for the vagina or not?
