A Winner is Jew posted:Outside of Rubio who are they really looking at for 2020? The current crop of republican governor But there's a big difference between that being plain to see for everyone involved, versus admitting it out loud, especially right now. So you make your threats, hope something sticks, and shore up your options for having some semblance of party control if he makes it into office...and back him enough to win if he gets to the general.

Has this been posted? Cause I'm surprised this news is just coming out:quote:How is Rubio helping the poor so much? Well, Rubio's plan would replace the standard deduction and personal exemption with a $2,000 credit ($4,000 for couples). That's a big increase. Currently, for a couple in the bottom, 10 percent tax bracket, the standard deduction and personal exemption is worth a maximum of $2,040. A $4,000 credit is a near doubling of that. http://www.vox.com/2015/10/30/9642850/marco-rubio-john-harwood So apparently, the only reason Rubio's tax plan looks as good as it does in terms of benefiting the poor, is because Rubio misled (or at the very least, let them assume without bothering to correct them) the Tax Foundation into thinking that his plan would provide refundable tax credits, even though that's something he actually opposes and insists is not the way his plan is supposed to work.

He's constantly preaching xenophobia and hating "others" and I can see him riling up his supporters enough for them to assault someone who looks Mexican or Muslim.

I hope with all of my heart that he makes it to the general so that I won't have to worry about who will win the presidency and can worry about all of the downticket races instead.

Am loving The Atlantic giving it to the Times this week: quote:The New York Times is often accused of having an unacknowledged liberal bias. Leftists sometimes insist that it has a conservative bias. I don’t think any newspaper in the world does better than the Times. I subscribe to it, often marvel at its scope and excellence, and believe that, like everything, it is biased in all sorts of ways, perhaps none more than this: It is an establishment paper. It overvalues the voices, perspectives, assumptions, and observations of powerful establishment insiders, whom it treats with far more credulousness and deference than they deserve.

That KKK list is apparently some other group/person and not officially Anonymous, per http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/01/operation-kkk-is-beginning-to-unmask-hate-group-members/ (scroll down a bit) for whatever that's worth. The 'real' list is apparently still planned for later this week some time. So pick which hacker group you think is more credible, I guess?

That list is also as 4chan would say "fake and gay" since one of the alleged KKK members, the mayor of Knoxville, is an LGBT activist who worked with Cesar Chavez among other things. It's just a list of random politicians' contact info someone found on Pastebin that's been there since June.

As others have pointed out, it has already happened at least twice But my question for you is how is what he is saying about Mexicans any different what the rest of them have been saying about Muslims for the past 14 years? Keeping in mind the large number of attacks on Muslims and organized and supported hate groups in that time

I would be ecstatic over a Democratic Party governor. We get screwed over like a third world banana republic for years and all people can think of as a solution is "well the problem is our constitution won't allow even more cuts to those fat cats in education!" instead of "hey where are those increased revenues from lowered taxes?" Even saw a scare piece in the local paper about the Louisiana Business Owner's association warning that Bel Edwards was going to destroy the Louisiana economy because he wasn't sufficiently anti-Union. Good, I hope he wins and the parasite class has a collective stroke.

The Atlantic has done some fantastic stories on the Presidential campaign as of late, their cheat sheet is an excellent primer.
