Presidential candidates who did not tweet a congratulations to US Women's National Team last night: Chafee, Sanders, Santorum, Trump, Webb.

To be fair, sport is a surrogate to war which still doesn't provide a satisfactory ethical substitute for its murderous cousin. In fact, soccer has actually been the cause of a war in one noted case.

I still wish for that scenario where Obama did an immigration speech at the US-Mexican border with a parade of immigrant workers, Taco Bell employees, a Mariachi band, and a Día de Muertos in the background and then come out and say "yep, those were all US citizens". Trump would go apeshit.

I really like that in the comments section a lot of people blame all the crime and murders on the immigrants. They also seem to latch onto a single case in that San Francisco murder as an example that it's happening everywhere.

Hillary is pretty good too. People just think she isn't because they don't actually understand her positions, or are single issue voters solely on specific aspects of foreign policy.

Or it could be people who think she's "pretty good" mistake her rhetoric for her positions, or don't understand the policies she's supported and voted for and (mistakenly) believe she isn't a conservative, etc. Or maybe, just maybe, people in both camps actually do understand her positions and either agree or disagree with them depending on their personal beliefs.

Edit: you sound like a Bernie supporter condescending to minorities by claiming they just don't understand how his focus on the economic issues we all face are more important than racial issues.

Isn't Terry Mac also toxic as gently caress? Why would Clinton want someone like him as her VP?

She almost certainly doesn't, but he's more likely to get the nod than Webb, Sanders, Warren, etc. because the Clintons trust him and he won't bring any sort of conflicting personal ideology to the ticket.

As as been said repeatedly, Hillary will choose someone she likes personally that is willing to do the job and not make waves. Everything else is substantially less important.

quote:

The reason I keep mentioning Julian Castro is because he checks off a lot of boxes Hilary doesn't as he's a young, charismatic, Hispanic politician and if he wants to be President one day then she (and Bill) get to potentially play Kingmaker with him when she leaves office and he runs.

If Castro proves to be a temperamentally compatible and is willing to subordinate his opinions to hers, he'll be considered. If not, none of his other qualifications matter.

Hey guys, it's last Wednesday and Scott Walker is in favor of immigration reform, according to Stephen Moore of the Heritage Foundation, who spoke with him on the phone.

quote:

“‘I’m not going nativist, I’m pro-immigration,’” Mr. Walker said, according to Mr. Moore’s account of the call to a reporter for The New York Times.

Hey guys, now it's Sunday and actually Stephen Moore never spoke to Scott Walker on the phone.

quote:

On Sunday, after three days of pressure from Mr. Walker’s aides, Mr. Moore said that he had “misspoken” when recounting his call with Mr. Walker — and that the call had never actually taken place.

Or maybe it was someone pretending to be Stephen Moore on the phone. Scott Walker has those kinds of problems, from time-to-time.

The Washington Post stopped by the construction site of Trump's new building in DC. Take a wild guess what they discovered.

quote:

“It’s something ironic,” said Ivan Arellano, 29, who is from Mexico and obtained legal status through marriage. He now works as a mason laying the stonework for the lobby floor and walls of what will become the Trump International Hotel.

“The majority of us are Hispanics, many who came illegally,” Arellano said in Spanish. “And we’re all here working very hard to build a better life for our families.”

Interviews with about 15 laborers helping renovate the Old Post Office Pavilion revealed that many of them had crossed the U.S-Mexico border illegally before they eventually settled into the Washington region to build new lives.

Several of the men, who hail mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, have earned U.S. citizenship or legal status through immigration programs targeting Central Americans fleeing civil wars or natural disasters. Others quietly acknowledged that they remain in the country illegally.

“Most of the concern is that this escalates into a bigger problem,” said Daniel Gonzalez, 45, a sheet metal worker from El Salvador who crossed the border in the 1980s to escape his country’s civil war. He became a U.S. citizen after a federal immigration judge granted him asylum, he said.

“He might come one day and pretty much tell us to get the heck out of here,” Gonzalez said of Trump.

Several of the laborers — who travel to work from as far away as Baltimore or Manassas, Va., every day — fumed at Trump’s comments, saying that they have led honest lives that have allowed them to buy homes and raise U.S.-born children.

“Do you think that when we’re hanging out there from the eighth floor that we’re raping or selling drugs?” Ramon Alvarez, 48, a window worker from El Salvador, said during a break Monday morning just outside the construction site. “We’re risking our lives and our health. A lot of the chemicals we deal with are toxic.”

Doubtful. There's nothing gained by having any of those people as VP. The reason I keep mentioning Julian Castro is because he checks off a lot of boxes Hilary doesn't as he's a young, charismatic, Hispanic politician and if he wants to be President one day then she (and Bill) get to potentially play Kingmaker with him when she leaves office and he runs. Isn't Terry Mac also toxic as gently caress? Why would Clinton want someone like him as her VP? It'd be like Jeb getting the nomination and deciding to go back to Florida to pick Voldemort for his VP.


Virginia loves McAuliffe lately. But taking him for VP would mean that he's no longer holding down the fort in VA, and you only get one shot at governor there. So not the wisest move really, no idea what they do for the current lieutenant governor having to pick a new one.
