Because Matthew Yglesias and Damon Linker are so prescient and smarter than the rest of us.

On rare occasions I link to a LiberTard site or writer. Usually it's to mock them. It's especially fun linking to them when their past words of wisdom prove to be so...pathetically partisan and so dreadfully wrong.

VOX: Underrated and overrated 2020 Dem presidential candidates (from September 14, 2018 by Matthew Yglesias and others).

BIG SWING and a MISS by Mr. Yglegiggleasissyus. Matt continues, from the above link: 

Avenatti, by contrast, has:

    Publicly said he’s exploring a run for president.
    Formed a PAC to donate to Democratic candidates in 2018, a common first move of presidential contenders.
    Visited Iowa in August for the Democratic “Wing Ding dinner” fundraiser, alongside declared presidential candidates Rep. John Delaney (D-MD) and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
    Visited New Hampshire that month for a Democratic picnic, where the state party chair enthusiastically introduced him.
    Also visited Florida and Ohio and Pennsylvania, where he met with Democratic officials and tried to schmooze Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), another potential contender who called Avenatti a “phenomenal guy.”
    Decided to put his campaign headquarters in St. Louis to make it easier for him to flip Missouri blue.
    Released a platform document laying out an agenda he’d run on.

He is really, truly, honest-to-God running for president. And I think he could win.

Matt, Matt, Matt...of which are you more proud: your narrow biased political view or your ability in arrogantly bestowing admirable and altruistic accolades on people who fool no one other than you?

Ooooooooooooh, "and I think he could win." [Insert audio of prepubescent girls'-sleepover squealing, both hands raised and waving around like...well, like litle girls do.]

NY Post: Avenatti can't find lawyers to represent him on extortion charges.  Oh, teh Schadenfreude, so delicious, so satisfying.

My same question posed to Matt (bias and/or arrogancy) applies to Damon Linker at The Week, writing on September 1, 2016: Donald Trump is poised to lose in the biggest landslide in modern American history:

Trump isn't merely going to lose. He's going to lose in the biggest popular vote landslide in modern presidential history.
[.]
Trump may well end up being the most unpopular candidate from a major party since before the New Deal.
[.]
Trump, by contrast, is going to sink.
[.]
The most credulous members of the Trump fan club will show up to cast ballots for him no matter what he says and does. But the rest? An awful lot of them are likely to stay home out of simple self-respect. Precisely how many do so is what will make the difference between a loss and a historic wipeout.

How'd that landslide/"wipeout" end up, Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamon?

Hey guys, what's it like - how does it taste - eating words of ass?
