Not So Casual Observation

Here’s your morning buffoonery:

“Republicans have chosen extremists to be their nominees, and this has changed the political map of the cycle,” said Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. “In a year where Republicans want these races to be all about Democrats, Republican nominees who have extreme positions help us make the contrasts we need to make.”

The first part of the quote is fine. The second part of it is wholly superfluous. I don’t want to hear about how the Republicans running extremists helps anything, let alone Bob Menendez to do his job. This is as serious as a heart attack and Menendez reduces it to a strategic error.
