James Carville with an explanation of the kind of candidate that has been successful down ballot. Got to love him wearing his LSU shirt and Marine ball cap and insisting that the epicenter of American culture is not necessarily New York.
Way to stick it to both Trump and Sanders, James.

Pro tip Representative Jim Jordan, this is a bad look:
The brother of Ohio State University whistleblower Mike DiSabato told state lawmakers in a public hearing Tuesday that Rep. Jim Jordan personally pleaded with him to intercede after DiSabato publicly accused the Republican congressman of turning a blind eye to the sexual abuse of male wrestlers by team doctor Richard Strauss.
Adam DiSabato, who was a champion wrestler at OSU, told members of the Ohio House Civil Justice Committee that Jordan was in tears when he called on July 4, 2018, a day after NBC News broke the story, according to a video of the committee hearing that was published on the Ohio public broadcasting website.
“Jim Jordan called me crying, crying, groveling, on the Fourth of July…begging me to go against my brother, begging me, crying for half an hour,” Adam DiSabato said at the hearing. “That’s the kind of cover-ups that’s going on here.”
Jordan, he said, called him repeatedly that week. “I had to have my lawyer call him to tell him to stop calling me,” he said.
Jordan, a powerful Republican congressman and a top defender of President Donald Trump, was an assistant wrestling coach at OSU from 1986 to 1994, a period when the DiSabato brothers wrestled. He declined to comment on Adam DiSabato’s allegations.
Mike DiSabato backed his brother, who testified at the hearing, which was held to discuss a proposed bill that would create a window that would enable Strauss victims to sue Ohio State.
"Truth is a powerful thing, isn't it," he told NBC News. "And the reason for Jim Jordan's desperation will play out very, very soon."
...Adam DiSabato’s allegation...he is one of the 350 former OSU students who have filed 17 lawsuits against the university. And Coleman spoke about Strauss on a videotape that Mike DiSabato made that spurred an independent investigation.
That probe, conducted by the Perkins Coie law firm, concluded in a report that was released last May that coaches and athletic administrators knew for two decades that Strauss was molesting male athletes – mostly under the guise of giving physicals – but failed to sound the alarm or stop him. Strauss died by suicide in 2005.

Agreed but it's not as if Tommy shouldn't be in prison right now.
He's pretty much a fucking scumbag.
