Someone needs to stress that JEB has said his Dad is greater than Reagan and that he would support Trump for President. (if he won the nomination)

Handy guide for your technical questions about primaries: there are over fifty jurisdictions each with their own rules overseen by a national party with no real authority that tries its best to keep a sane schedule for the candidates (and often fails). Due to those circumstances, any crazy scenario you can think up could probably happen somewhere, but the majority of participants in the system are incentivized to ensure that it doesn't.

According to a Politico reporter, Hillary completely dodged a question about Schumer's stance on the Iran Deal.quote:At the end of her Q+A session, Hillary was also asked about Schumer's Iran stance—she hesitated, then thought better of answering, and left.

Soviet Commubot posted:Couldn't Trump just latch onto Americans Elect and gently caress up enough states for the GOP to lose? The guy who runs Americans Elect, Peter Ackerman, spent most of 2012 fighting to ensure that the Paulites didn't take it over, which required him to change the nominating rules several times. The exercise has always been a naked Draft Bloomberg operation and he's not going to want to muddy the group's moderate technocratic sheen by turning it over to a clown. Also, Americans Elect wasn't able to get on all the ballots in 2012. Now, the Libertarian Party, on the other hand.....

A Bag of Milk posted:That was a congressional race where nobody was paying attention and the establishment guy didn't care or campaign. You can't slip past unnoticed in a presidential race, and Trump will have the full weight of GOP establishment money, power, and organization working against him. And Trump has the personal wealth to tell them "back the gently caress off or I run third party and you lose any possible hope of winning the White House and I might even damage some of your down ticket stuff as an additional bonus." If Trump wants to run there's nothing they can do to stop him If he wins enough primaries they're stuck with him and if they do a powerplay to block him from the nomination he won't be a meek little chump like Ron Paul was when they did some last minute poo poo to keep from from speaking at the convention since it will guarantee he not only runs 3rd party but it would be suicide for the GOP.

Paper With Lines posted:Catching up, but I wouldn't call him an academic in statistics. He makes nice little models for public consumption. Yep (also catching up). My main point was that his skills are in presenting those nice little models to the public, not in the complexity or accuracy of his models. You would not find many in the statistics community (by this I mean professors and others with/getting PhDs who publish research; Nate Silver has a BA) who would consider him an expert. He undoubtedly has a fair bit of domain knowledge about statistics applied to politics at this point, but wouldn't be considered an expert in this arena either. But he does provide a valuable service. There aren't many alternatives to Nate Silver because the people capable of outclassing him statistically focus on research papers with a level of rigor much higher than what Nate Silver puts out (and would find repeated political poll analysis to be dull, academically speaking). But that kind of work takes much too long to publish with any regularity. So while Nate Silver is limited in his statistics education and rigor, he can put out his models much quicker than is possible in academia. Which is important, because reminding the public that statistics is a thing is important. Andrew Gelman, who Nate Silver had as a first author for his only real paper in 2012, is an example of someone I'd consider an expert in both statistics and political science. But, funnily enough (because it points out why Nate Silver and his ilk are important), he's also a terrible lecturer (trust me!). I haven't been saying these things because I'm a rabid Bernie supporter who doesn't like what he has to say or anything (though I do find it amusing he's getting beaten by simple poll averages), just pointing out that he's not really an expert at statistics. He's Bill Nye the Science Guy, but for statistics. Bill Nye is not an accomplished theoretical physicist. But the job he does in promoting science education is likewise important.

But she has to know her reputation and how stuff like that will play on the media, and should be quick enough to say something like, "As I have stated before, I support the Iran Deal." Of course, as a Bernout, I am glad she doesn't.

Can't he hijack a 3rd party that is already on the ballot, too? Granted, he wouldn't be on all 50 state ballots, but it would be better than nothing. Edit: already answered. indeed
