could say the exact same thing. It's not insider info or rocket science for anyone paying attention.

taken for the insider and prophet he's not. Maybe just vet his stuff carefully before posting if you're drawn to it? Is anyone of better repute posting the same, or often, as I've found out often by a quick google, had posted much the same but FAR MORE several months ago? If so, change your source or hold back?

Frankly, there is far too much huge, CONFIRMED news practically every day now covered by respected people from a broad range of political viewpoints for me to read and try to adjust into the big picture.

I hope he's right.

Or, if he's wrong a lot as someone has said in the thread he's right THIS time

small town local to risky State elections.

Can't dismiss a guy with that kind of dedication.
He has called attention to many who need support in elections against the GOP.

HE has been doing so much more to make people aware of critical Dem candidates

Kudos to Claude Taylor👍

Some have enormous credibility. Some have none. Some are in between. It would make for a fascinating read of who was right or wrong about what and when.

...by posing as a Mueller staffer. That person was instantly promoted to a very reliable source in Taylor's Twitter feed. Taylor posted all the bullshit he was handed with zero checking for whether his "source" was who she (he? -- posing as a woman, in any case) said she was. That's how he rolls. Ego-driven, with a sideline in small-scale grifting. There's absolutely no reason to think that he has any real sources at all. This is high-stakes stuff; a real source is not going to go to an art-fair photographer who had a low-level job in the Clinton WH 20+ years ago.
