In a row?

Well, this election will prove whether or not Bernie can mobilize such a voting force. If he can, he'll definitely win the primary.

Well that'll calm the markets.

The system that created the most prosperous nation on the planet was already abandoned, by Reagan Republicans. 40 years of Republican dominance has led to the greatest income inequality since the 1910s-1920s and a wannabe-autocrat president who successfully ran on returning America to the greatness it used to have before Republicans took over everything.

Chris Wray is really the one who has it.

After forcing said Democrat to significantly reduce the amount of stimulus spending, which would have helped pull us out of the recession more quickly.

The impressive thing is that she's had no real spikes. Just a slow and steady climb. It makes her numbers more solid than most of the other candidates, IMO.

Lulz at flying too close to the sun. He's done nothing but idiotic moves from the start, and he didn't get close to achieving anything positive.

I don't think he'll formally announce it. I think he'll tell people behind the scenes that she's who he'll pick.

I think she and Biden have an agreement from their meeting awhile back, and he's going to deploy it if he starts to drop in the polls.

Warren is right. Hell, even if you don't actually want to pull the trigger, using this legitimate threat as leverage is the smart move.

I guess all it took to cure the disease was it showing up in Dallas.

I like Warren's wealth tax more.

Looks like Trump blinked. He's delayed new tariffs on China.

Or an executive or anyone on Wall Street. Say, I remember our president going broke a few times because of his bad decisions. He even bankrupted a casino. How is it that he was able to shed all of his debt so easily? No matter — the important thing is that this kid should struggle the rest of his life because he took out loans for an education. He should have known his place and become a mechanic or something!

He should have become a farmer. He'd already have been bailed out by the US taxpayer for the cost of his bad decisions. Though, at least this guy got an education out of the deal, as opposed to a pointless trade war.

Like this was all from just one 16-hour period:

All I know is, the WaPo published an absurdly huge number of anti-Bernie articles in the 2016 primary. For whatever reason, they clearly have a stance against him.

Weird, I don't see it at all. The whole time I thought he looked like Zack Morris.

You didn't see an exploded nuclear reactor because IT'S NOT THERE!

From the article: "Trump’s overall approval rating is 79% among farmers, according to a Farm Pulse survey taken last month." Fuck 'em.

Put us in charge, they said. Let us show you what fiscal conservatism is all about, they said.

While I'm not resting my position on the statements of these few guys, this exemplifies exactly why I think leftist Dems like Sanders and Warren have the best chance at defeating both Trump and Trumpism. The working class (all races thereof) is not scared to vote for soaking the rich and big government programs that help them. They want that shit if it is the real deal. Plenty in the middle class do too. The problem is that Dems got scared by the Reagan messaging machine and gave up this mantle starting in the 80s and 90s. The Dems became R lite with a socially liberal frosting. R policy after R policy got enacted — often by Dems themselves! As income inequality, health care costs, and other similar problems skyrocketed, nobody was making a real difference for lower income folks. Trumpism (starting well before Trump himself) came along into that vacuum and said, what have Dems actually done for the working class or middle class? What have they done about all of the problems you're actually facing right now? And without any good answer to hold it together, it was easy as pie to wedge the working class apart by race. There needs to be a cohesive ideology on the left to counter the racist message of the right. The only ones I see offering that are Warren and Sanders: the problem is that the corrupt government works for the rich and nobody else, and the solution is to tax the rich to fund big beautiful government programs. Centrist Ds and Rs will recoil in horror, just as they recoil in shock every time they hear things like "actually, plenty of union folks would rather have government insurance than their bargained-for private plan," or "actually, the Green New Deal isn't a joke, and can even appeal to coal workers." But that's what will win. More importantly, that's what will actually help people who are in need, and make the wins last past just one or two elections.

Well, yeah, that's why they voted for him.

The mom is 50-50 vote Dem or find some excuse to write in some R. The daughter is 50-50 vote Dem or stay home. The dad is 50-50 vote Trump and admit it or vote Trump but lie to his family about who he voted for. Any of these types that a Dem can pick up is a bonus, but most Rs will have a hard time voting D no matter who the nominee is. From Biden to Bernie, there will also be some Dem policy that irks them enough to serve as an excuse not to swing Dem. Winning combination: energized Ds + left-leaning Indies + real never-Trump Indies and Rs + some of the R types above staying home or voting 3d party or write-in. Losing strategy: relying on Rs like those above to pull us over the line.
