"Tough", "thick-skinned", and "accomplished" all have their own definitions in the incestuous Safe Space known as the Lake County Democratic party. Da' Region has no shortage of Bloomsbury Groups and Algonquin Round Tables comprised of entitled single mothers, public employees, old-school union gorillas, and middle-aged retail clerks who have never gotten their lives going in a forward direction but are continually awestruck by their own innate intelligence and insight. These good folks, as well as hard-hitting Grade Z sycophant newspaper nitwits like Rich James and Dan Carden bolster the reputations of the McDermotts, the Freeman-Wilsons, the Repays, etc. who seem surprised when they learn that their names carry little weight outside county boundaries.
