That's a home decorating term anyway, not a journalistic one.
I'm not even going to link to CNN's page. It was one of the most pitiful jobs of sensationalizing something that wasn't worth it. As far as they're concerned, Trump is ready to be "reinstated" on January 20, now that the Democrats have lost all hope.
Democrats lost statewide elections in Virginia, by the narrowest of margins. They gained about six points over their performance in a heavily Republican Ohio congressional race and won the other one. Was there a mayor of a major city elected last night who was not a Democrat? And in a Florida congressional seat runoff, Democrats outpolled Republicans 4 to I in the total vote.
And no, Joe Manchin, the Virginia vote does not validate your concerns, it validates complaints about your obstructionism. If that reconciliation had passed, McAuliffe would be Governor-elect. Hunker down, Senator, with your buddy Sinema. The party is going to call your bluff. I watched you when you stood by the miner's families when the Sago mine disaster occurred, that's why, in spite of your Democratic affiliation, they elected and re-elected you. You need to go to those same families now and ask them what they want to see happen in Washington. Let them tell you how to vote, which isn't as much of a novelty as it might seem. I'm betting they'd tell you to put a trillion and a half back in and be the first one in line to vote yes.

(13,582 posts)They only attacked Trump because it was such a popular pastime. Truth be told they stopped being a real news organization when they sacked Aaron Brown in 2005 and hired Gloria Vanderbilts son.
