McCaskill warns Dems about 'cheap' rhetoric; says GOP senators privately believe Trump is 'nuts'

(CNN)Sen. Claire McCaskill has some advice for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the incoming freshman who has rapidly risen from obscurity to one of the most well-known figures in the Democratic Party: Talk is cheap.

McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who's in her final days in office after losing her bid for a third Senate term, told CNN in a wide-ranging interview that her party must begin to focus and deliver on real issues to attract independent and white working class voters -- not pie-in-the-sky policy ideas, such as tuition-free college, that have little chance of becoming law. Her concern: Voters grow cynical after hearing campaign promises that never go anywhere, empowering forces like President Donald Trump to rail against Washington for failed promises, as he did in 2016.

Democrats, she suggested, should be cautious about the rise of politicians like the 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez, who vanquished a Democratic leader, Joe Crowley, in her primary, and have vowed sweeping changes in policy.

"I don't know her," McCaskill said when asked if she'd consider Ocasio-Cortez a "crazy Democrat" like the ones she decried on the campaign trail. "I'm a little confused why she's the thing. But it's a good example of what I'm talking about, a bright shiny new object, came out of nowhere and surprised people when she beat a very experienced congressman."

Everyone here knows that Trump is not a stable genius, and may not be playing with a full deck.
At a minimum, he is a known sociopath incapable of human empathy, modesty, tact, a good work ethic, or even basic intellectual curiosity.

The only posters who will not admit Trump is unstable, are those that have their lips glued to his white, flabby ass.

I thought the whole point of having the Electoral College was to have a fail safe to prevent unstable incompetents from being allowed to set foot in the Oval Office.

Whatever the failings of the Electoral Collage are, the good news is that the American people can be trusted to make the right choice, to make a wise choice - the American voter chose Hillary Clinton by millions of votes over Dump.

Poor Claire. She fucked up.

Defeated Sen. Claire McCaskill says she was hurt by Democrats' mishandling of Brett Kavanaugh accusations

Sen. Claire McCaskill, whose vote against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh played a major role in her defeat in the Missouri Senate race, is now criticizing how Democrats handled sexual assault accusations against the judge during his confirmation fight.

"I don't think my vote [against Kavanaugh] hurt me as much as the spectacle that occurred," McCaskill told NPR. "There were mistakes made by my party in terms of how that was handled.

The only mention of Trump is in the headline. Nothing in the article.
Looks to me McCaskill is implying Occasional-Cortex is bat shit crazy.
