DUMB, AND DUMBER – AT 12:09 P.M. ET:  Last week we were treated to the spectacle of the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, Keith Ellison, celebrating Cinco de Mayo while wearing a T-shirt bearing the quote, in Spanish, "I don't believe in borders."

Wow!  What a campaign slogan.  That'll sure capture the Midwest, where Dems were beaten to a pulp in 2016.  The brilliance of it all.

And now comes Nancy Pelosi, who once voted Republican, for Lincoln.  She's given the GOP all it needs for November.  From Fox: 

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi indicated Tuesday that her party would like to roll back the tax reform law passed last year if they gain control of Congress this November.

At a breakfast hosted by Politico, reporter Jake Sherman asked Pelosi to respond to a Republican ad that claims "you would like to institute a single-payer health care program and cancel — [raise] taxes, I think they mean, roll back the tax cuts they passed this year."

"Well, the second part there is accurate," Pelosi chuckled in response, before adding "I do think we should revisit the tax legislation in ... a bipartisan transparent way."

National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Matt Gorman jumped on Pelosi's comment, tweeting: "I promise you that will be in almost every GOP ad this fall."

COMMENT:  Well, at least the Republicans are lucky in their enemies.  I hope Nancy's comment becomes as famous as Bill Clinton's "I never had sex with..."

The latest generic poll shows Dems only three points ahead of Republicans.  I'm getting optimistic.  I see a Supreme Court with seven conservative justices.  It may not be a dream.
