Kasich down 1 point despite a good debate showing. I wonder how long the donors will keep half-assedly promoting him.

Are there any more debates in Ohio? If not, they're already finished.

I mean it was only a good debate showing to the punditry and other people outside of the republican base. Showing basic human compassion for people in poverty, people who rely on gov't assistance, or for gay families isn't going to ingratiate him to GOP primary voters.

If that was posted here, I admit I would find it humorous, assuming it was of course meant ironically. That's pretty bad meant seriously.

Sanders is beyond done. He can't even get Portland behind him.
With Hillary Clinton not having to fight off any contenders for the Democratic nomination, she will be rusty and wide-open for the Republicans to trample, riding a wave of anti-Obama sentiment that has been bubbling under for years.

The rally he did in Portland Seattle was his biggest event and the biggest event any candidate of either party has held yet. The Portland event is looking even bigger.

They genuinely believe as a website that white people are prevented from speaking out against black people for fear of being blacklisted in their "permanent records" as racists.

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


I do not think that the low number of debates is to protect Hillary. There are only 4 debate candidates right now (and it will probably remain that way) so having a bunch of debates will wear thin quickly. Everyone will have plenty of time to talk and get their viewpoints out there. Unlike the Republicans where it can be a rotating circus with differing views and feud that can play out.

Also, let the republicans hang themselves. The more debates that the Democrats have, the more Republicans can ignore each other and just rail on any of the Democrats (ha ha ha only Hillary).

I'm at worst slightly miffed that the Bureau of Land Management supporters hijacked the mic, and mostly pretty pleased because, hey, Bernie added that racial justice stuff to his site and at least seems like he's going to add that into his talking points. I guess we'll see tonight. Can't fault the BLM protesters for doing that if it got something done.

The race stuff was obviously in the works before the rally crash, there's not enough time to prepare it between the events, but it would have been in response to previous black criticism. So arguably they were just late.

The fun thing about having an anxiety disorder is that therapy for it helps teach you to stop freaking out over possible imagined scenarios.

Just breathe, dude. Sweden doesn't need you just yet. And there's no use getting worked up over a (very specific) prediction that hasn't yet come, and never may. Time spent freaking out over the future could be time spent making, I don't know, s'mores or something.

NEW YORK VALUES
Buzzfeed just published an accusation that Breitbart is receiving financial backing from Trump in return for promotion. The story is drawn from anonymous sources.

"Breitbart Staffers Believe Trump Has Given Money To Site For Favorable Coverage"

quote:

not everyone within the the website’s editorial ranks is on board with Breitbart’s boosterism, and many inside the company believe Trump has provided undisclosed financial backing to the outlet in exchange for glowing coverage, as I report in my forthcoming book about the GOP and 2016, The Wilderness.

According to four sources with knowledge of the situation, editors and writers at the outlet have privately complained since at least last year that the company’s top management was allowing Trump to turn Breitbart into his own fan website — using it to hype his political prospects, and attack his enemies. One current editor called the water-carrying “despicable” and “embarrassing,” and said he was told by an executive last year that the company had a financial arrangement with Trump. A second Breitbart staffer said he had heard a similar description of the site’s relationship with the billionaire but didn’t know the details; and a third source at the company said he knew of several instances when managers had overruled editors at Trump’s behest. Additionally, a conservative communications operative who works closely with Breitbart described conversations in which “multiple writers and editors” said Trump was paying for the ability to shape coverage, and added that one staffer claimed to have seen documentation of the “pay for play.”

All four sources spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to jeopardize their jobs; and none knew exactly how Trump’s alleged arrangement with the privately-held company worked.
