		<description>&lt;i&gt;What&#039;s that? You didn&#039;t hear about all of this? &lt;/i&gt;

I heard about all of it. 

&lt;i&gt;The mainstream media collectively yawned over what happened in Minnesota, and focused instead on the Wisconsin gubernatorial race (where the progressive candidate lost). Draw your own conclusions for this sad state of media coverage. &lt;/i&gt;

The outcome in Minnesota was basically already known and not really in question whereas the race in Wisconsin was a squeaker that could have gone either way. Somehow I get the feeling you would not be describing the governor&#039;s race in Wisconsin as &quot;only a governor&#039;s race&quot; if your preferred candidate had edged out the so-called &quot;establishment candidate.&quot; 

Poor GOP had gleefully already measured the drapes at the thought of the &quot;holiday hating&quot; Hong as the Democratic candidate where the GOP&#039;s &quot;Korean Communist Could Cancel Christmas&quot; campaign had already begun.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not certain who deserve a dishonorable mention - maybe everyone involved, for trashtalking a fellow Democrat.

&#039;Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) joined Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan in taking a shot at Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), a lawmaker they both once supported who recently criticized the long-serving Vermont senator.
...
“I just like to remind everybody watching right now, Bernie Sanders will never represent any more than 640,000 people in Vermont,” Fetterman said on Fox News last week. “That’s all he’s ever done, and he ever will do. He’s lost his — He’s never won an actual competitive election.”&#039;

		<description>TP1 is pure gold!  Clear and concise - 3 words only!

And unlike the majority of TPs this, and every week, not a puzzling cryptogram which requires &quot;clicking&quot; on anything to understand what the heck it means!</description>
