    If a bunch of old, uneducated, white people in Wisconsin give us trump for another four years, I’m going scorched earth.

    Hell, Texas was 9%. Ohio is a red state at this point and I would worry about the others first, especially the ones trending more blue.

    The swing state mentioned in that article by The Hill is Ohio. The Dems absolutely DO NOT need Ohio in order to win. Or Florida for that matter. Win Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Trump can start packing his boxes.

    Prediction: in a month warren will be in first place.

    This thread should be required reading for any guy wanting to get married regardless of whether or not he is in the military.

    I heard from a chick that was married to a military dude that they will tell you one date that you are coming back but always delay it a couple of days. Cuts way down on the surprises to have that buffer. She was crazy and divorced the guy when he was overseas. Left the house empty. Took the light fixtures and every appliance.

    I don’t know that I am a conspiracy nut on any of the typical topics, but I absolutely am on this one. This guy has dirt on high level people and did it either for personal gain or for another government (or both).

    Strait of Hormuz or Gibraltar?

    I want him to live on the less than 1% chance it will help lead to more information about who he was involved with. He’s a goner though.

    Not surprised at all. Only question is if he is suicidal knowing that he will never get out or the hit is on to make sure he never talks. I’ll go with suicide just because he’s still alive.

    M4A that want it seems like a terrible idea. It will be treated like another welfare program for the unemployed, poor, undocumented, etc. The per person costs will be astronomical and it will be first in line for the chopping block for republicans. It also loses the overhead reduction benefits from having everyone on the same plan. If we are worried about the middle class being scared off, the best bet is selling them on supplemental insurance. “This plan will cover all of your basic needs, including if something really bad happens. But, if you’re worried about _______, you can always purchase supplemental insurance. Since all of your medical necessities are already covered, these plans will be very affordable.”

    Austin isd raises go into effect this month.

    “Just because someone is offended doesn’t make an act offensive.” This is the hard part with things related to sexual harassment. All of the trainings I go to say exactly the opposite. I’m careful as hell at work because I work with 90% women and one accusation can sink you.

    Just because these people are chanting things that they have always believed privately doesn’t really mean that much has changed. These people have been here all along trying to drag down progress since the start. We overcome them most of the time but they rear their ugly heads at others. Let’s hope that we overcome them once more in 2020 but also never forget that these terrible people aren’t gone. We can never let our guard down again.

    What about access to his office 12 days a month?

    If I’m going to pick a candidate that doesn’t know policy, I’ll just stick with Beto. Getting pretty close to joining team Liz.
  17. Larry T. Spider
    I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you’re involved with Our Revolution?
  18. Larry T. Spider
    Fair warning. I’m going to be telling a lot of trumpkins to get out of America if they bitch about our New Democrat president. It’s the new standard. Love it or leave it. Or as aggy would say...highway 6 runs both ways.

    At this point I’m just donating to my house rep for the Texas legislature. He’s a first term dem in a newly light blue district. My money is next to meaningless in a presidential campaign.
  20. Larry T. Spider
    Through our latest report, we’ve raised a staggering $13 million from 193,000 donors. From all people, no PACs. A brand new poll in New Hampshire means Beto is officially qualified for the debates in the fall. We’ve invested a ton in building out a stellar campaign team in our El Paso HQ. Our National Finance Director started this week. Our Digital Director started a month ago. We opened 11 offices in Iowa. The infrastructure is growing rapidly. There’s been a lot of talk about what our fundraising numbers last quarter meant. We’re here to tell you that the media narrative is wrong. There’s plenty of time before the first primaries and caucuses in February, and we’re growing in support and size every single day. Still, we have to grapple with the fact that some of our opponents raised two, three, or four times as much as we did last quarter. And it’s important to pick up the pace.

    Same reason you have the Bradley effect in polls, especially ones regarding trump. People know they should be ashamed but still have to go hit that R straight ticket button every time. With all the vile shit that trump has said and done, I will not be trusting the polls as much as usual this time around.

    But the Supreme Court....

    I don’t think an informed center exists. If you have been paying attention at all you are clearly going to come down on one side or the other. I think this is more true now than ever before. I do think there is a group of low information undecided voters out there. “Center” would imply they are liberal on some issues and conservative on others. I don’t think that label really fits this group because they haven’t given it enough thought. They don’t watch political shows, just kardashians and tmz. I find that they are easily swayed by personal interactions because they don’t have set beliefs that you have to overcome. They also don’t have a lot of competing sources of information. I want to be clear that I don’t think you change policy positions based on them or devote a lot of campaign resources to them. They aren’t paying attention and it would be a waste. However, I do feel they are worth a quick personal conversation.
  24. Larry T. Spider
    I think Hugo and Brisket are both correct here. Massive GOTV for Dems and left of center moderates is the only way.
  25. Larry T. Spider
    I don’t think we need them to win and I wouldn’t waste of lot of resources on them. My response is mainly to the people that think it’s a winning strategy to go after people that never vote. It’s a great way to end up disappointed on Election Day when they do what they always do....sit it out. Making sure that you have a clear message to democrat and independent voters with a solid ground game is the most sure fire strategy out there. Our only difference is that I still consider some of the trump voters (not supporters) in the independent category.
