Worst tournament I can remember. The best game involved fucking Duke pulling one out over an underdog. Meanwhile, most of the 2nd round double digit seeds were BCS state schools (Ohio State, Oregon, Minnesota, Iowa, Florida) and Jerry Falwell's "college" and we now have a Sweet 16 consisting entirely of Power 5 schools other than Gonzaga and Houston.

Jerry said they had basically exhausted DS and it had nowhere else to go so they shelved it.

Yeah, plenty. They like Beto mostly.
I'm sure he has some people who pull for him in his home state. Fanbase is a strong word though. He is the Cleveland Browns of politics.
Biden is currently viewed as most likely to beat Trump, which is supported by polling. The average voter knows Biden and expects that he will just reconstitute the Obama administration.

Some CDs have value. For example, some Grateful Dead limited releases sell for hundreds used.

Ohio State supported his application for immediate eligibility which probably helps. Doubt Texas gets that from USC

Obviously what Alex Honnold does is mostly trad with a bit of free solo mixed in, so he is just making a joke about aspiring to the easiest and most popular type of climbing.
He's actually been spending more time recently sport climbing and acknowledges that he isn't great at it in comparison to the best in the world like Ondra and Sharma. He has been working on getting stronger so that he can climb more difficult sport routes. Referring to himself as an aspiring sport climber is an accurate reference to his current focus.

Midwest Trump voters aren't jumping on the Beto buggy.
The Beto bean flickers (e.g., Bama Chick) and the Beto betas, however, are ALL IN. He's just like Obama but not black. Perfection.

Warren's current level of support doesn't speak highly for the Ds.

I guess that is true. If she can't break 10% in NH, she is done

Smith has already disclosed the lurid details from his time at OSU, particularly w/r/t Herman. There is nothing beyond the strip club and cheating escapades. He will be talked off the ledge once he sobers up just like back in December.

Baby Bump Beto

well it was close, only 220k votes, which is a remarkable achievement for Red(neck) Texas.
If Beto is the D nominee, he'll carry Texas meaning he's POTUS. Then WI, PA, MI are irrelevant.
Trump is more popular than Cruz in Texas

I think it highlights the current divide with Democratic voters. If feels like there are two schools of thought.
1. Nominate the candidate that most likely will beat Trump
2. Nominate the candidate that can kickstart effective change and lead this country out of Trumpism
IMO, the latter choice will be enough to beat Trump. Focusing on #1 seems like a fool's errand.
Particularly since it is entirely subjective at this point

Beto imo gives the Dems the surest path to victory and this time I’m not taking anything for granted. Trump is a lunatic but he’s got brilliant campaign chops. Beto beats him - on GOTV, mass appeal, money, and strategic importance of Texas, and I don’t know if anyone else holds the same number of cards as Beto.
A Texas strategy in a Presidential election strikes me as insane. I also don't think Beto provides much value in the Midwest given his focus on border issues. That is red meat for Trump.

Beto not voting in lockstep with the Ds in and of itself isn't a negative characteristic imo. One of the significant current problems of the Ds is the ideological purity test. What is important is where Beto diverged from the D party line.
Per the Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/20/beto-orourke-congressional-votes-analysis-capital-and-main), O’Rourke has voted for GOP bills that his fellow Democratic lawmakers said reinforced Republicans’ anti-tax ideology, chipped away at the Affordable Care Act (ACA), weakened Wall Street regulations, boosted the fossil fuel industry and bolstered Donald Trump’s immigration policy.
BTW, the Guardian article is another example of the far left pushing back against Beto.

You can like the kid from Indiana all you want but he’s got no place in the bucket of candidates with experience as you seem to suggest. Way too young and mayoral experience of a small town doesn’t cut it. Maybe he will and should win but it’s not bc of experience.
Which is why I used the and/or. I agree with you BTW

Maybe the most compelling part of his campaign is that he represents a direct rebuke of Trumpism. Policy is no doubt important, but so is character and leadership. Ignoring those traits is how many of the Trump voters I know begin their defense of him - “Nobody’s perfect... the Supreme Court....” They recognize Trump’s lack of character and leadership but look past it because he serves some partisan goals. You ignore the representative part of representative democracy for too long and you end up with soulless ideologues abusing the system.
Everyone has character compared to Trump. When has Beto demonstrated character or leadership in a way that separates him from the other D candidates? I don't see those as defining traits for him in the primary and any D nominee is going to have a character advantage in the general. As for leadership, Beto has no track record of note.

So you think Democratic voters are as dumb as Republican voters?
That remains to be seen. If they nominate Beto (or Harris or Booker) instead of one of the many D candidates with real experience, vision and/or ideas (Bernie, Warren, Buttigieg, Gabbard, Yang), then maybe.
-
The attacks on Beto from the left are going to be relentless. His pot of gold is the most irresistible available resource in the campaign.

Yeah! Just like Trump did
Laughing at the thought of Beto attempting Trump's debate strategy.

Beto is going to get gang banged at the first debate by the qualified candidates. Bernie, Warren et al are going to eat him alive.

Caldwell's history and personal struggles are much more interesting than Honnold's. The climbing in Dawn Wall was also significantly more difficult. The grandeur captured in Free Solo and the ridiculous danger of Honnold's climb are stunning though.
