Yeah and how do you think that shifted? I'll give you a hint: it wasn't a bunch of people in a smokey room adding Germans and Irish to the "officially Whitey" list. Which of course, is ignoring the hilarious assumption that those sentiments died out in the 1870s. Germans were persecuted at least through WW1, Jews were a suspect minority until we found literal Death Camps, and Catholics in general (compare with Muslims) were dogwhistled as late as Kennedy. The "shift" takes a whole lot longer than what you're trying to present. And that's assuming Republicans attempt minority outreach, which as a party strategy died about 10 years ago. computer parts fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Oct 30, 2015 |

The thing is that he is immediately going to Fox News and run for president every four years and for the rest of my life I'm never not going to hear his insane garbage opinions all the time. He's like one of the incurable stds.

Epic High Five posted:Looks like a bunch of snakes I was kinda wondering that, too. Maybe it's a hail mary attempt to get people to scrutinize Rubio, the only candidate with his own section? This way they can deliver their bullet-point attacks without Jeb! being able to flub the delivery. but I also haven't seen the rest of the leak so it's probably just a normal disaster for his campaign, not a planned one.

I'm watching the cloture vote in the Senate right now on CSPAN-2. Rand Paul wandered across the floor, and one of the Honorable Gentlemen clearly said, "So you're the reason we're all here at this hour? drat." into an open mic.

Dr. Faustus posted:Senate Budget Vote just passed 60 Aye votes. It was the vote for cloture, not the final vote. Hopefully it will sail through, unless Rand Paul decides to carry on again. Edit: And the instant I say that, Paul gets up to ramble on aimlessly for another hour. He's not making any friends tonight. Dr. Faustus posted:^^ Yes, and I wonder how many will want to speak. They get up to an hour each, don't they? No more than 30 hours of debate, no Senator can speak for more than 1 hour. Tobermory fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Oct 30, 2015 |

So any more barriers to this budget being passed, or will it continue to sail onward to Obama for his signature? I still haven't gotten a great sense of how people feel about it, beyond the general sentiment that an actual budget was overdue and pushing the debt limit back out of the election period was wise.

Nintendo Kid posted:Let me put it in terms you understand: all of the Republican candidates are currently holding national support on par with the joke fringe parties you have in your parliament, probably. The best performing one has like, under 11% national all-population support at best at the moment. on the other hand, it's almost certain that one of the current republican candidates is going to get the support of minimum, say, 46% of the population within a year's time. (and very possibly a majority, of course!)
