I'm fantasizing right now about an electoral map on Fox News showing every single state blue, and the ticker just repeating the words "RONALD REAGAN DEAD, NO HOPE FOR AMERICA"

from PPP's recent iowa pollquote:The specter of a Donald Trump independent candidacy continues to be a serious threat to the GOP. In a three way contest he would get 21%, with Clinton's lead over Bush rising to 9 points at 39/30. Trump gets 29% of the Republican vote and 28% of the independent vote as a third party candidate, while only taking 8% of Democrats. Trump's 21% standing as an independent becomes a little less impressive when you consider that Deez Nuts also polls at 7% as an independent, which sort of suggests that might be the floor for a third party candidate. (Clinton leads Trump 41/36 in the iteration of the horse race including Mr. Nuts.)

Real talk: is there any chance in hell Obama puts some sort of paid family leave into place before he leaves , or it becomes a platform for Hillary (or Trump lol) for the 2016 election? I'm moving to the USA soon and would like to have a kid but unfortunately 12 weeks of unpaid leave is pretty poo poo. For reference Canada has one year paid leave.

Christ, Walker spoke about his Obamacare replacement. It's basically Obamacare but providers can decline to cover you for pre-existing conditions. The fucccck is wrong with people. Basically if you have migraines, you will be denied. (Like my wife).

Well, I wouldn't say no chance. I mean, we have a triple crown winner for the first time in what, 36, 37 years? But yeah, get used to never seeing your infant if you move here and have one.

No way this kind of thing could get shoved through quickly. Most employers offer some period of paid or partially paid leave, although normally just a few weeks. Just be glad that we have any leave mandatory, there is no mandatory vacation time off in the US.

No, it would require an act of Congress, which is about as likely as, uh, something that is not very likely. Sorry, not feeling any good metaphors today. Obama instituted 6 weeks paid parental leave for federal workers, and, IIRC, the reaction from Congress was predictably unfavorable. Given that they favor not paying federal workers at all, much less paying them to not work.
