Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's incendiary suggestion this week that liberals "cannot be civil" with Republicans any longer is unproductive and simply "ridiculous," a top Democratic senator said Wednesday.
The stark repudiation of Clinton's comments by Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., a vulnerable red-state Democrat seeking re-election this year, comes as top Republicans have lined up in recent days to criticize Democrats' fiery rhetoric amid the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D should remember what happened to Senator Tom Daschle after considering a Presidential run for 2004 when Hilliary was still also considering 2004. Losing a close election plus anthrax.
She's way behind in her reelection bid, so this rings of sincerity in a way that most Demwit posturing never does. Kudos. Oh, but still, buh-bye. Thanks ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas.
She has been running for statewide office almost non-stop since we moved away (1988) and has near total name recognition. Rick Berg was a one term congressman hardly known outside of Cass County.
Cass County, home to Fargo, the state's largest city, is known as "Imperial Cass" by much of the rest of the state. ObaMao actually carried the county by 7% in 2008 when the state voted for McCain by a margin of 9%.
Romney fared a little better four years later, winning the state by 20%, but just under 3% in Cass County. Point of the matter is that being a politician from Fargo carries a certain stigma for statewide office.
Cass County has elected a lot of governors, but not from Fargo. A smallish city in the center of the county, Casselton (population 2500) has the distinction of being home to FIVE governors to Fargo's ZERO.
In July 2018, a spokesman for the political network organized by the Koch brothers announced that they would not financially support Cramer's campaign because the brothers viewed Cramer as insufficiently supportive of free trade and fiscal conservatism, and because Cramer held other views inconsistent with theirs.
BTW, he is also a THREE term congressman, not TWO.
That's the sound of desperation as the 'blue wave' detours down the electoral sewer.
