We love Michelle Obama, but taking the high road in politics is a recipe for disaster and losing. We can no longer afford that.

When they go low, we go even lower. That’s how you win elections. That should be the model for the remainder of this decade for Democratic leaders.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a radical who advocated for the redistribution of wealth.
