Walker's declaring on the 13th. Kasich on the 21st. Those are the last two and we've got a full field.

theblackw0lf posted:So I'm thinking of working for Bernie Sanders campaign. My main question though is what is his plan for actually getting his ideas implemented? And what evidence do we have that he can work the system in Washington to get poo poo done? One thing that was great about Warren is not only does she have great ideas, she's shown she's savvy in getting stuff accomplished in Washington. And Hillary's policies might not be as good, but her and Bill know how to manipulate the system to their advantage, as was shown in the 90s. One of the biggest impacts a President can have is executive appointments. Not just cabinet members, but a large number of senior positions across most federal agencies (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/nominations-and-appointments). Who do you think would appoint more active SEC commissioners, Sanders or Clinton? How about the FTC, FCC, NLRB, etc? The difference in judicial appointments would also be meaningful.

Obdicut posted:Yes, the idea that the GOP will work with someone who calls himself a socialist is totally reasonable. If he gets elected, the public will is there in the states that vote for him, not in the ones that don't. The GOP has plenty of safe districts. https://www.congress.gov In their time (thus far, for Sanders) in congress: Clinton sponsored 3 bills that eventually became law, none of which were cosponsored by republicans. Clinton cosponsored 25 bills introduced by republicans that eventually became law. Sanders sponsored 3 bills that eventually became law, one of which was cosponsored by (several) republicans. Sanders cosponsored 63 bills introduced by republicans that eventually became law. Yes, the idea that the GOP will more readily work with someone that calls himself a socialist than with someone with the surname of Clinton is totally reasonable and backed up by historical data.

Jagchosis posted:Did you just forget the last five years or what The People's Republic of Wisconsin is the city of Madison, not the state. The X-man cometh posted:People forget that Bernie's been in Congress since 1991, longer than the Clintons (or Obama) have been in DC, so he has plenty of experience and connections. I believe he has a good reputation with his colleagues as well. People like him personally for the most part, but he's never anyone's first choice to work with. His office has historically been extraordinarily leaky and his name on a bill makes it harder to get R co-sponsors.

taqueso posted:I would be interested in reading more about that if you have anything. It's personal experience/anecdote, so nothing I can point anyone to. It wouldn't be an issue in a hypothetical Sanders presidency, since you'd probably see significant staff changes - it was more that his staff didn't really seem to understand the concept of not talking about things before they were public. I.e. not intentional leaks, just poor discipline.

I think that lawsuit against Trump is completely baseless. Paying $36,000 to attend Trump University and figuring out it's a scam seems like he learned exactly what everyone expected he should learn.

taqueso posted:I would be interested in reading more about that if you have anything. There's not exactly a wiki page for who leaked what but if you just google his name and 'leaks' you'll see multiple articles about stuff. The biggest recent one was back in 2011 he leaked oil speculator information to a newspaper . The problem is he leaked their identities and poo poo too, and when people brought up 'hey you realize this is actually illegal to do' he just kinda waved it off because speculators are bad. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/19/us-cftc-dataleak-idUSTRE77I4NR20110819 Along with that, as said, he's not exactly a bipartisan guy, and his name on a bill is a great way to make Republican votes skitter away, so no he doesn't exactly have many bffs professionally speaking despite plenty of people going 'yea Bernie's a nice guy'.

Cephalocidal posted:https://www.congress.gov I don't think that's a good metric to use, though. Sanders right now is not very visible. Republicans can work with him without getting a lot of heat for it, especially since the one bill that he sponsored was quote:S. 893: Veterans’ Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2013 I'm not counting the 'name my post office this' bills. But mainly, I don't think you can compare people's willingness to work with him as a senator with willingness to work with him as president, especially after a long campaign season of vilifying him. This is not Sanders fault, in any way, shape, or form.

Paying $36,000 to attend Trump University and figuring out it's a scam seems like he learned exactly what everyone expected he should learn. Degree mills got so common that the federal government has cracked down on for-profit education, although if you can't use federal loans to attend Trump University, then there is probably nothing he can do.
