  1. Bad teammate is going to lambast me but I don't see how Bernie breaks out of his niche support in a primary campaign with several other compelling candidates. This isn't Hillary Clinton and Martin OMalley he's running against. And in that race even his support had a ceiling particularly with certain demographics. The Bernie bros enthusiasm is nice but it ain't happening.
  2. I think we're nearing Biden's collapse. Once people start dropping off because he's no longer viewed as inevitable--either to win the nomination or to beat Trump--there will be a feedback loop and his support will quickly dissipate. Warren will be the clear frontrunner then.
  3. "first amendment rights" "people should be forced to condemn [political speech]" I haz confused.
  4. How does that happen? Just watch someone 24/7. Put me in the tinfoil hat camp. Too many reputations at stake and we already had the history of this being covered up the first time.
  5. I thought "atleast 3" was a clever answer to that question.
  6. I meant, his campaign, nationally and in the key early states, will for all intents and purposes, be over by the first contest. If he doesn't drop out before then. He's not exactly running a great campaign so far.
  7. Did he mean "poor kids are just as smart as rich kids" or "black kids are just as smart as white kids". The world may never know. If you've watched his political career, none of this is surprising. It's not old age. It's just Joe. I still have think he collapses before Iowa.
  8. Not a good night for Joe. It's really just kind of sad.
  9. I haven't seen any evidence of actual bias. Everything is just algorithms working as they're supposed to, with a focus on ad revenue, profit. It's a made up a problem.
  10. He's going to follow it up with a water has contributed to wetness speech. Such bold leadership. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/biden-in-iowa-speech-plans-to-say-trump-has-fanned-the-flames-of-white-supremacy/2019/08/07/dce7c17c-b903-11e9-b3b4-2bb69e8c4e39_story.html
  11. Eh, maybe he would be criticized for not going but it's still the right thing to do. If Obama were in a similar situation where there were sensitivities around his visit, he would stay away and express sympathies in other ways. Trump refused to even make time for the US representative from El Paso.
  12. Agree. It's not worth it. Can have special permits for 30-50 feral hog situations. I think public opinion is starting to shift on this. Will be helpful to have a Dem with the bully pulpit. Meanwhile, this tweet is blowing up:
  13. It's absolutely insane Trump is going to El Paso. His visit is cruel rubbing salt in the wounds of those reeling in pain and with their world turned upside down. It's despicable. Utterly. Nothing is beneath this guy.
  14. How states go blue? Slowly and then all at once?
  15. The pictures are no longer working. We're totally fucked. "Aides have brought Trump charts to convince him that the currency charge is untrue, but the president remains firm in his beliefs, the official said." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/china-lets-currency-plunge-below-7-a-decade-low-after-trump-adds-new-tariffs/2019/08/05/c7415db6-b754-11e9-8e83-4e6687e99814_story.html
  16. He repeatedly calls it a "glitch" in the algorithm. That's the algorithm working.
  17. Browsing the headlines we may be on the verge of the complete collapse into chaos under Trump: -el Paso/Dayton and aftermath - stock markets crashing on escalation of US China trade war -inverted yield curve signaling recession imminent -Kashmir about to blow up. Who knew governing could be so hard? I just hope there are no nukes.
  18. Alyssa Milano showing some love and fundraising support with her 3 million followers.
  19. He's saying that if Warren is appealing to people like that, then she can reach a broad electorate. Bit dark imo. Seeing Beto out there speaking truth the last 24 hours makes me want a Warren-Beto ticket again. The perfect moral response to Trump.
  20. "Well, Jesus Christ, of course he's racist." Excellent.
  21. And he'll be back at it in a week or two. Gun controlled stalled again. Rinse, repeat.
  22. Hate this is the context but glad to see Beto finding his voice again.
  23. Would love to see this make him realize his heart is in Texas and send Cornyn packing.
