| 159. Weiner's district is more than 90% likely to produce a very liberal democrat |
|
as Weiner's replacement. If Weiner care about the causes that he claimed to care about, he would have resigned last week. Weiner is the type of person that would be a republican if he lived in a heavily republican district. The few progressives that are virulently backing Weiner can go on deluding themselves that Weiner stands for something, but as more information comes out on Weiner, the picture that is filling in is one of a political opportunist and savager of unwitting women.
