Good

A spokesman for Republican Senator John Cornyn has declared that Neera Tanden's nomination for head of the Office of Management and Budget is dead on arrival

This is a good thing, even if the reason, "She says mean things about Republicans on Twitter," is stupid beyond belief, because she yet another case of a member of the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment) failing upwards while wasting millions dollars of donors.

The bill of particulars against Tanden is extensive:

The bigger case against her nomination is that it is CLEARLY motivated, at least in part, as another indignity directed towards Bernie Sanders that the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment).

Neera Tanden has been the most vociferous critic of Bernie Sanders online, accusing him of being racist, sexist, a Russian agent, and everything short of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.

As OMB chair, her nomination would be managed the ranking member (or chairman if the sky falls in Georgia) of the Senate Budget Committee, one Bernard Sanders of Vermont.

It's clearly an attempt to, "Try to publicly humiliate," Sanders.

To quote someone not named Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, "It is worse than a crime, it was a mistake."

Spending political capital on "Hippie Punching" because it gives the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment) a stiffie is stupid and wasteful.

There is a midterm election in 2 years, and neither Nancy Pelosi nor Chuck Schumer are going to bring out the base.
