1. Terry is a doofus opportunist

who should have stayed a behind-the-scenes-fundraiser

[lonestarnot]

2. ackety.

[FSogol]

3. That puts him total agreement with DU.

[cali]

12. hardly. but you know that.

[merrily]

4. Wasn't he the man who had the "bright" idea of running a "racially charged"

campaign against Obama in 2008?

He's correct that the Democrats' strategy in 2012 was bad and they need better messaging, but it doesn't take a professional strategist and/or politician to figure out that one.

5. yes it was him!!

He had akso along with Clinton-verse staffers (Carville...) had another good idee. Help Bush keep the WH in 2004 so that HRC could run in 2008.

6. He's so right. We blew it.

It’s McAuliffe’s own party that has him down.

He begins carefully — “I don’t mean to be overly critical …” — but then he gets rolling. In a 2014 campaign fought against a backdrop of dropping unemployment and record highs for the Dow, he says there’s no excuse for Democrats to cede the argument on jobs to Republicans. “They didn’t talk about it!” he exclaims. “They didn’t have a strategy.”

“Why come out and vote for the Democratic Party? There was no message to say: Here’s what we’ve done. I wish the party or whoever had done a national media campaign and say, here’s what you get when you elect Democrats,” McAuliffe says. “But there was no — what was the message out of ’14? I’m asking you rhetorically — do you know? No. What was it?”

7. We don't think much of him either. nt

[FSogol]

9. I like him. The alternative was Ken Cuccinelli.

McAuliffe has been good for gender equality and fought for medicare expansion until Puckett (a democrat) handed the legislature to the GOP.

[cali]

13. he's a truly, deeply corrupt piece of shit.

disgusting in so many ways. that he's better than Cuccinelli is damning with faint praise

[bemildred]

14. +1.

They are all, with some few exceptions of which McAuliffe is definitely not one, deeply corrupt. I get annoyed every time one of those smarmy bastards starts talking down to me and telling me I must be confused because I think he is a crook. Yeah, right.

[Cha]

16. +1

[samsingh]

8. he's not wrong though

[Johnyawl]

10. Don't listen to HIM!

It doesn't matter that he's actually making sense.

He's not pure enough!
He has faults!
Feet of clay!
He's a DLC moderate!
HE'S A CLINTONISTA!!!

[Cha]

15. +1!

[LukeFL]

17. Yeah he needs to be pure enough

To be a Democrat like all the people here are

11. One of the main fuckwits that brought us to this cross is waking up?

Good, knowing is half the battle.
