It's not easy for me to have no criticism of you when it comes to carrying the progressive mantle, but Darcy hits a home run.

She's amazing. Most people would be in a crumpled heap of tears if they had just lost their home and gotten a scare like that.

Am I crazy, or is this the third Democratic candidate I have heard about this year whose house had a fire.
