"Let This Be A Lesson To You Liberals!"*

Despite Rep. STEPHANIE MURPHY's (D-Fla.) rising-star status, she is calling it quits at age 43. Why? What she told us should be a giant, flashing “warning” sign for Democrats heading into the 2022 elections. More in Playbook: https://t.co/n5g404oMty

POLITICO asks "Why?" Curiously, they don't answer with the obvious reason:

She's being re-districted. The Florida state legislature voted to approve an unprecedented two-map congressional plan. The primary map and the secondary map each have an efficiency gap of R+13 and would add an additional Republican-leaning seat.https://t.co/a2HvlKzhAo

And there's a second obvious reason:

She retired because she lost her district. She's going out shouting so she can get attention and grab a sinecure somewhere. First she has to prove she has the "right" thoughts, hem hem.

Pretty much all I have to say about that. Quinn Hillyer is a columnist for the Washington Examiner. This is what he chooses to retweet:

I’m not certain many journalists quite grasp what a reputational catastrophe they have brought upon themselves by supporting the suppression of the Hunter Biden story at the time and preferring to let bygones be bygones now.

So Deshaun Watson is going to be wearing an orange uniform after all? 🤨🤨🤨

There is no "Hunter Biden story."  And I guess he thinks it's funny Mr. Watson is going to the Cleveland Browns even though a Harris County grand jury declined to indict Mr. Watson on any charges.  If that's "Middle America," you can have it; and God help us all.

I don't always agree with Mr. Conway, but I generally respect him. The company he sometimes keeps, though...
