Totally inappropriate and really unprecedented for a cabinet secretary to overtly intervene in an election of an ally like this. And even more wildly (though unsurprisingly) on behalf of the pro-authoritarian party.

Likely Democratic nominee for #IAGov Rob Sand wasted no time taking Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst to task for her tone deaf ‘we’re all gonna die’ comments today. If he’s jumping on this, you know that Medicaid is a winning issue for him in Iowa…and a losing issue for whoever his GOP opponent will be.

There are good Dems who realize what a menace Trump is who nonetheless think Trump's win offers some useful lessons. That's understandable. What's crazy dangerous are the Dems who think we have to meet him halfway. Never compromise with fascists. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/why-dems-hav...
