  1. Someone has got to investigate APD. The speed at which they deny homicides and serial killings is faster than most surlyites finish sex. The reason they are denying these deaths is because homicide is one of the primary metrics tracked for Dept effectiveness.
  2. Ha. If he did Trump would probably gain 3 points in the polls.
  3. I don’t disagree but for the first time in several elections I’m hearing A LOT of people asking for another alternative. 2020 and 2016 has some of that but not nearly as strongly as I’m hearing now. There is a real chance to pick up votes with a new candidate.
  4. To add to that, I know a bunch of Independent voters who tend to vote Republican more than Democrat, but I’ve noticed almost all of them are now openly complaining about the two choices. That’s a big deal for them to finally acknowledge Trump is a moron. If they had a reasonable alternative to Biden, just that change might be enough to get some of them to vote Democrat. Among that group: a 75 year old gramma, 40 year old defense industry worker, and a CFO of a financial institution, three people who normally would lean right. They are up for grabs.
  5. I continue to believe the Democrat Party Machine has already decided the new plan and are working to get Biden to acknowledge it. George S is aware of this plan, which is why he kept hammering home the same general thought that “it’s time to step aside”. And as far as the “Ride with Joe” crowd goes, that sort of timid pussy attitude toward change or aggressive actions is what got the Dems into this situation in the first place. Unleash Harris/Whitmer and watch them do their thing!
  6. This interview was ok. He’s ok cognitively, he’s just very feeble physically. I don’t know if he can get the votes.
  7. I wonder if I read surly today. I don’t think I did.
  8. Wow. That’s terrible.
  9. You are an idiot. And as such I’m confident you haven’t contributed a penny to Texas’ NIL, but like to criticize it. Everyone needs to just roll with whatever happens on NIL. People have put a solid program in place, but the bottom line is that any given program could end up having much more money. One or a few really rich people connected to a school could decide they want to contribute a lot of money. Until or unless a lot more people connected to Texas put up a lot more money, they have to deal with the arms race as best they can.
  10. The VP for Harris can’t be a no name. That creates too much to overcome. I also believe it can’t be Newsome. Too California. Kelly is a maybe, but between Whitmer and Kelly Whitmer brings the Midwest and creates the “woman power” message to energize women everywhere. It needs to be Whitmer. I think a white male would be a mistake. Lean into the woman power messaging.
  11. The success of a two woman black/white ticket comes down to the following equation. Is.. Additional black voters + additional women voters + additional male non-black voters who value competency > the number of male misogynists + the number of racists against black people. I think that it would energize the campaign, create a ton of press, and attract just enough new voters to offset the racists and misogynists. But hey, I'm an optimist.
  12. I’m not reading anything this long in the recruiting thread from a Cloak Room regular. He’s hiding subversive messages in there somewhere.
  13. Except Michelle Obama, the black women foreigner wife of that terrorist Hussian Obama.
  14. I don’t know if anyone else watched ABC News last night but it just hit me like a brick that the plan is already in motion. You could tell by the coordinated messaging. They even had Pelosi on camera basically saying voters are right to question whether Biden can continue. There is NO way she does that unless it’s happening.
  15. Sure but how has she done against the hordes of dirty polite people from the North?
  16. Texas has been an early mover with having significant NIL funds. However, other schools are trying to get their act together, and as a result the whole environment is very fluid. I don’t think anyone knows where this will land. The analysis work by the NIL team indicated Texas should be able to be very competitive long-term, but there are half a dozen other programs that are also building significant resources. I’m unclear on how the situation will stabilize, as opposed to becoming an ever escalating arms race. The recent proposals about school directed NIL funds creates another factor to consider.
  17. Seeing that Obama poll makes me crazy. That means her presence in the race must bring out a lot more left leaning voters. It’s the only explanation. There aren’t enough middle independents for that type of margin. She sure isn’t going to draw voters from the right. So it raises a pretty big question. We have one of the biggest threats to US Democracy in history. The Supreme Court composition for a generation is at stake. The possibility of a full Republican Congress and Presidency is real, with an obliteration of Social Security, Medicare and Abortion in their crosshairs. We have one of the worst human beings on the planet on the ticket. And we can’t get left leaning voters to the polls without Michelle Obama? WTF? What the hell is wrong with people?
  18. I hate having to drive to Taco Bell and going through the drive-thru. Give us Taco Bell.
  19. The super money will decide or has already decided who gets the nomination if Biden drops out. Whoever that is will simply offer cabinet posts to the others for their acquiescence. I think it’s Harris, which is not what I thought 24 hours ago.
  20. I was wondering today why prominent Democrats like Doggett came out publicly. After just watching an ABC News update, I strongly believe now the establishment has already made the decision to switch to Harris, but have not been able to get Biden to step down. As a result, they are now applying public pressure from Pelosi, Doggett, and several other prominent politicians. They will keep doing this over the next few days until he bails. In my opinion, it’s over. Harris is the nominee. Just my opinion.
  21. Same. I’m not even sure I’ve still got family members in the Biden boat.
