You misspelled two.
You misspelled two.
He is working the rooms like a 2 term President.
Tronald binning the Veterans Day thing at Arlington seems like it might be the one bit of shit that actually sticks to him.
I thinkhe'll be hard to overcome in 2020. Maybe Biden runs and tries to bring Michelle as a VP (though she's telling everyone who will listen she absolutely hates politics and that's Barack's bag by way of promoting her new autobiography).
They cheated Bernie out of the nomination last time but maybe they throw him a bone since he didn't make a big deal out of it and try to rig the nomination for him.
That Beto O'Rourke fella out of Texas has been getting a lot of love though.
Idk. Anyone outside of those 3 has no shot IMHO.
Bernie has little chance when he's not "not Hillary" anymore.
Beto/Harris or Harris/Beto would be my bet right now. Biden is gonna get hit with a lot of "creepy old man" stuff after all the me too-crap.
"Beto" () is the flavor of the month and there is no way he's anywhere near. Warren shot herself on the foot with the whole DNA testing nonsense. Harris just looks like a dark Clinton. Bottom line is: they're fucked. They should just run one of those lol lads they had in there during the first debate and start preparing for 2024.
I wonder what would happen if they decided not to run anyone at all this time.
They could run Uncle Sam himself, with Babe Ruth as running mate, and Trump could probably still lie his way back in.
Their best chance is probably a Bernie type. People are looking for extremes now.
Anyone thinking Beto would even have a chance is a moron.
It'll be whoever wins the women among Gillibrand/Warren/Harris. Maybe Sherrod Brown but I highly doubt it. Bernie won't make it through a crowded primary with 90% of the field nicking the policies that he made look even slightly politically possible.
I liked that thing on why Hillary Clinton should run again, but this time with a load of trendy new left-wing policies.
Question one: Where have these policy preferences been for the past x years?
*last remaining speck of credibility evaporates*
All I’ve read, even from the CNN funhouse, says she absolutely should not run. Obviously.
Their best chance is Trump getting bored and finding a way out of having to do another term that sufficiently massages his ego. If not they're left with selecting some schlub who they know can't win and just going through the motions for another four years until he has to go away. Do they have a Michael Howard in America?
I've never understood this line of thought. Why would a rampant narcissist get bored of everyone having to pay attention to him all the time?
You could have run a nonce against Ted Cruz and he would still have attracted millions of dollars and fawning press coverage, so it's probably not worth reading much into him.
It's more of a national effort with Lyin' Ted, but yeah something like that.
Speaking of Lyin' Ted, this might be Triumph's greatest moment starting at 9.30:
He has full on dementia.“The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes,” Trump told the conservative Daily Caller website.
“When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on.”
He also called for new national ID laws with a bizarre assertion: “If you buy a box of cereal – you have a voter ID.”
holy shit i thought that was a joke he's really said the cereal thing lol
This is what happens when a stupid person goes their whole life with nobody telling them that they're stupid.
Doubt he's ever bought his own groceries
All time GOAT tweet from the President this morning.
The "dirt" they've dropped about Trump's building plan negotiations in 2016 so far has been a shitload of nothing. Who cares. He had plans to build a Trump tower in Moscow that continued into his candidacy, that's about it and it's gotten people so riled up.
Maybe they're getting closer to the pee tapes, but unlikely
Watching the point fly by some people is just so odd.
Jimmy Carter was forced to sell his peanut farm (valued at $1 million) in case it unduly affected his decision making. Now you get a guy in who's selling point is "I know how corrupt these people are because I've been bribing them for years" and upon winning goes to a fancy restaurant to tell his billionaire donors "I'm going to make you very rich" and say what's the big deal.
I mean the tweet was funny
So Donald signed the NAFTA-agreement in the wrong place.
How did I not think of this scam. GoFundMe doesn't work like kickstarter, you get the money whether you hit the goal or not.
The DNC just dropped the 2020 debate schedule. They’re going to have 12 (seriously??) debates and you get on the main stage either through meeting a polling or grassroots fundraising threshold.
Kind of surprising how afraid of Beto the Bernie camp is. It’s three weeks now of hit stories on campaign contributions from oil and gas employees dressed up as corporate contributions and how his record isn’t as progressive as Bernie’s.
I love how a journalist searching a website for public information on his campaign contributions and voting record is the Bernie Camp putting out hit attacks.
Saw something about Biden-Beto. I feel like Biden would've won the first go around but I'm not convinced he could now.
Biden-Beto might just be the least inspiring ticket around. Two white-saviors that would lose because the racists love the other guy and the ethnics don't trust them.
Beto's latino turnout was pretty bad considering his position, no?
From a quick google it says he had 64% of the Latino vote, 11% higher than the Demo candidate for Governor who garnered 53%.
I don't know what that % looks like over past candidates though.
To win a Democratic primary you have to win two of three groups: white liberals, white women, and people of color (really, just African American women statistically). Nothing else matters.
I’m merely talking about the demographic make up of the base. It isn’t white men. The university liberal crowd is only a third. You can’t win in the south if you can’t appeal to a 30-40 year old African American woman.
Women will vote for Warren or Harris or Hillary and they don’t want to fuck them. Doug Jones can do that with African American women in Alabama and nobody wants to fuck him.
Beto’s popularity among Democrats isn’t simply because he is young and handsome and knows how to do an entire marketing campaign in Texas around Whataburger. He is a genuinely good retail politician that can pull of this sort of semi-corny improvised moment that D’s go all warm and fuzzy:

The Donald has been bang on it on Twitter these past couple of days. Mate, if you still aren't finding it all hilarious then there is something wrong with you.
I would definitely enjoy months of Republicans lolling at her DNA results.
Good to see everyone bealing about America getting out of a warzone as well.
Don't forget criminal justice reform.
Is the getting out of a war zone the same as when he got North Korea to denuclearize? Or like when we built the wall? Or like the transgender ban in the military? Or like the rising stock market? Or like the repeal of Obamacare? Or like the defeat of ISIS that lasted until his next tweet?
Since the next Sec Def is likely to be atom Cotton, I’ll believe we are not going into war when the term is up. He just claims we do shit. When he follows up, I’ll pay attention.

I'm reading about this Warren-Wells Fargo stuff as well. Good on her for taking those crooks on, I'll give her that.
