the only way democrats win elections is because 47% of the country wants free stuff

I'm pretty sure that number is at least 50%+1 of the country.

He actually said 47 million people want free stuff but I'm assuming he meant the 47% Romney comment from the last election. I don't think even he knows what he's talking about. I've never seen him watch Fox News and I know he doesn't consume much if any RWM, so I dunno where he gets his views from really.

Well if he's patriotic at all, let him know about how Bernie Sanders actually supports our troops. He's the only socialist to win a congressional award from the veterans for foreign affairs, due to his work for the VA. He managed to get a lot of health care reform done and make the system a hell of a lot easier to use. I was able to register at a new VA hospital and get an appointment for that day in under 30 minutes! Now I'm not saying it's perfect but the legislation he's managed to pass has really done a lot to streamline the process.

Regardless of the actual outcome, EU leaders have to tell their constituents how tough they are being on Greece, so I'm not sure why people are taking quotes at face value.

I thought the latest polls all had him at like 10 or 12% and in second?

He's at around 12% in some IA and NH polls, but at 6% in the national poll average among Republicans, which is the number used for admittance to the debates.

The better choice is obviously letting him in to debate, but the meltdown if he wasn't allowed to the debate is going to be pretty sweet all by itself.

Your IQ is low,
Low like the leaves in the fall.
Go gently caress yourselves, proles.

So apparently Ted Cruz is using a propaganda firm:

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/ted-cruz-donor-for-data-119813.html?hp=rc2_4

quote:

Cambridge Analytica is connected to a British firm called SCL Group, which provides governments, political groups and companies around the world with services ranging from military disinformation campaigns to social media branding and voter targeting.

So far, SCL’s political work has been mostly in the developing world — where it has boasted of its ability to help foment coups. Cambridge Analytica entered the competitive U.S. political data market only last year.

I think it'll be back in some form on some network/distribution outlet. He may have lost the show on NBC but a large portion of his value is his name and you need to keep promoting it somehow.

Right now he's getting free promotion by being a presidential candidate (:smith:), but even he knows the gravy train won't last forever. You'll see him on TV again, and eventually when this stuff is all forgotten because it definitely will be, he'll have a show somewhere.

Alternatively, he'll go full Huckabee and start an email list marketing TRUMP HEALTH CURES not affiliated with Donald Trump

Of all the horrible poo poo Walker has done or will do, harping on him for not having a degree is the most insulting latte liberal thing, and I'm a latte loving liberal. If Walker makes it to the general, this line of attack will backfire on any Dem that tries it.

I mean it isn't really POLITICO it's a couple professors, for one it's his major research thesis (that government is too "white collar" and basically benefits only the upper class) and the other had access to relevant data. I mean I basically agree with their point and also think Walker is awful.

For half the country, yes. Actually who am I kidding if a popular Dem lacked a degree they'd screech about this to the high heavens.
