Golden is a star and should be respected as such; it's idiotic to not realize the difficulty of that district

He did not need to say that it didn't matter if Trump was elected or not. We don't need Dems in tough districts to kiss the party's ass but they don't need to kick it either.

There is a fine line and some walk it better than others. I think it's always ultimately counterproductive to trash the party you belong to (if you plan on staying in that party and want it to win and be in power). The best pols find ways to accentuate their own brand without attacking the overarching brand they belong to.

TBC, I'm glad Golden is in Congress and not the NASCAR guy he beat.

I don't know. Considering that Senator Brown of Ohio was one of the best at that and he lost, maybe Golden wouldn't have had a chance if he hadn't trashed his party as hard as he did. Look at Tester's results, too.
