Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, Slams 'Crazy Democrats' on Fox News
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/30/us/politics/claire-mccaskill-crazy-democrats.html
"“The crazy Democrats are the people who walk into restaurants and scream in elected officials’ faces. The crazy Democrats are — we have a state senator here in Missouri that actually advocated for the assassination of President Trump,” Ms. McCaskill said, referring to State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who made the remark on Facebook last year. “That’s a crazy Democrat.”
Does she think any of her colleagues in the United States Senate are crazy Democrats?
“Well, I would say this, I would not call my colleagues crazy,” Ms. McCaskill told the interviewer, Bret Baier. “But Elizabeth Warren sure went after me when I advocated tooling back some of the regulations for small banks and credit unions. I certainly disagree with Bernie Sanders on a bunch of stuff.”"

1. Whatever you have to do to win.
Say it, win, vote the right way. All that matters.

2. Indiana Sen Joe Donnelly is running TV ads
that “prove” How conservative he is. They don’t use the words “crazy Dems” but basically make the same point.
So here's my question to any DUpipo who would like to come defend this way of thinking. IF your candidate has to pose in the clothes of a conservative to win, would that not mean the people who are hiring them have a certain expectation of what that candidate would/will do for them? I keep hearing/reading everyday, especially on DU, that there are WAY more of you than there are of us, yet you have to have your candidates LIE to the people to get the votes you need.
Advice; run on what you believe in. Do it. Trump did and he's upholding as many of his promises as he can, and he needs a larger majority to finish what we hired him to do. He's doing what we are paying him to do.

3. She wants to win
so she's doing whatever she can even though it means she's throwing the "crazies" under the bus.

5. Just win baby!
Do what you gotta do.
There you have it, folks. Lying on your resume' is perfectly fine with the democratics. So, maybe our next candidate for anything should do this; Put on their website what they really believe, all their conservative virtues and ideas. Then go out publicly and proclaim you are for abortion, you believe we're destroying the planet, we must raise taxes to 90% on high earners, etc ...
I mean, after all, what does it hurt? I think I'm going to go apply for a neurosurgeon position down here at the hospital. I don't have the training, but as long as I SAY I do, all is good.
