BI NOW GAY LATER posted:A worse moment for Romney, or at least that typified him really well, were him being asked on Fox News what book he was reading, he mumbled something, then decided that "well, I am not going to tell you the interesting one" and instead listed the same prosaic historical reflect book he'd been saying for six months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d98a8sULJg

There still a shitload to do. Don't envy the next President honestly, although it seems okay that at least it will be a Democrat.

Stereotype posted:Hillary is absolutely going to adopt a lot of Bernie's policies because she is very pragmatic and, though she is heavily supported by the banking industry as the front runner, will say enough good Bernie type things to get a lot of additional support when Bernie tells everyone to go vote for her after he loses. You can always spot the modern white liberal in the room because they're too rich to talk about their own wealth, but still liberal enough to talk about social equality. Don't even believe for a second her or her supporters care about economic inequality in any sense. That is the most dubious of all her positions.

Agrajag posted:What are the chances one of the candidates will tap Elizabeth Warren for VP? Elizabeth Warren has been very firm about wanting to retain a Senate position to build seniority for influence. If she ever goes for president or VP, it'll be after you can call her 4 term Senator Warren at the earliest.

I'm surprised to hear so much anti-Dean rhetoric, 50 states was a better plan than any other we've seen for a while.

Nessus posted:Negative infinity because Warren would probably explicitly turn down the position, no matter how many thinkpieces get written. She wants to be in the Senate I gather, and frankly they should leave her there, rather than putting her in a position only worth a bucket of warm spit. I'm pretty sure she's been pretty specific about having absolutely no desire to make any bid for the white house right now. Seems she just really likes her places in the Senate and intends on keeping it. While she was my first choice this time around we could certainly, you know, do a lot worse when it comes to Senators.

O'Malley has a plan to make college affordable.Article posted:The proposition is deeply personal for O’Malley: Aides say he and his wife have already incurred $339,200 in loans to put the two eldest of their four children through universities. And college affordability was a leading priority for O’Malley during his tenure as Maryland’s governor. Uh, what?

EugeneJ posted:Bernie supporters in general hate Hillary. As a Bernie guy, I can't say I hate Hillary. I understand that having her will be like having Obama for at least four more years. It means some things might get a little better, but not much, most of it will stay the same. If that is the only choice I am given, I am going to take it. But if I have a chance to have somebody who might actually do poo poo I really care about, I am going to push for that as much as I can.

GalacticAcid posted:Rubio launches a sick burn. You have your intern spend all that time finding the picture and then poorly lettering in your idiotic "burn", and you don't even have them take another 3 minutes to paste Clinton and Kennedy's heads on? Weak, man. Weak. There is the outside possibility that the intern did paste the new faces on, but did so over the wrong Wild Stallion. Still though, you could push your emergency tweet deadline back a few minutes while they fix it. Agrajag posted:What are the chances one of the candidates will tap Elizabeth Warren for VP? Nobody should be pulling viable Senators out so they can fill the nothing role that is VP. It's where you stick someone at the twilight of their political career or someone outside the Legislative Branch who you think might have a shot after you but need more credentials. Pulling good Senators for your cabinet is also poor planning. Obama should have found somewhere in the Cabinet to stuff Lieberman, it would have saved him a whole lot of headaches during the brief Super Majority.

Building off of this, no one should pull active representatives or senators into the cabinet or being VP, they're far more valuable where they are.

Trump's Arizona event on Saturday has been moved to the Phoenix Convention Center due to capacity. Depending on the room they use, he can fit between 3,000 - 12,000 people in. Berniesque.

I take the caltrain to work in the bay area, and I went to st louis for work at used the train there. Someone at work told me that "white people never use the train, it's where black people get revenge on white people", which sounds like BS but whatever. I will say that the train there sucked and people were smoking on it. Caltrain is awesome by comparison.
