The description I’ve heard is “front of the class minds with back of the class attitudes.” It worked for Obama, it worked for Clinton, and if we don’t recognize that it’s a winning combination we’re going to continue to get fucked in the general elections.

Steve Bannon looks like if a pile of laundry from a cheap Vegas motel soaked in piss, liquor, and gas station meth wished that it would become a real boy.

“No, no, no! Do not come to Texas! Texas is full!”

Meanwhile, Texas:

It’d be worse than that. We don’t share a border with North Korea. We will not like what happens if we initiate endless blood feuds with our next door neighbors.
