They Don't Give a F$#&

Ben Smith gets an email from a Republican consultant. I work in politics so many of the conversations I have with folks are with people who are either ideologues, idiots, or extremely jaded and view the whole thing as a big game. (I should also note there are a lot of really smart people I work with as well). But I always take what they say about the mood of the electorate with a grain of salt. I listen very carefully to what my non-political friends say about politics and it's similar to what the Republican consultant is saying. Total disgust.
