Mr Interweb posted:Holy shitsnacks. If true, then it's pretty much already all over right? And a massive shift like that would have to effect downticket races, no? This is my favorite part: quote:That reflects Trump’s large advantages among white women who lack a college degree and white men overall – especially less-educated white men, a group Mitt Romney won by 31 points but in which Trump currently leads by a breathtaking 62 points, 76-14 percent. Less educated white men are swinging for Trump more than Romney because they are angry racists. Thank God their numbers are declining and presidential elections aren't about them any more.

The House Rules Committee is voting today on an amendment to get rid of the Office of the Ex-Speaker, which gives John Boehner $1.9m to staff an office in D.C. The amendment is being offered by Walter Jones (R-NC) and Thom Massie (R-KY).

I'm looking forward to the further demonization of formal education by the party of stupid people, since currently "dumb people like Trump" is a statistically correct statement.

That's good, and less educated white guys who aren't racists certainly exist, but it's no coincidence that Trump's more blatant racism as compared to Romney has fueled his popularity among that demographic.

I think to be a Trump supporter you have to be comfortable with racism, but it's a mistake to write off all his support as being purely motivated by racism.

I gotta say, this should pass. quote:Boehner is allowed three staffers: one administrative assistant making up to $158,486 a year and two secretaries who can make up to $133,108 and $116,104, respectively. (The amounts are indexed to inflation, so the salaries can rise over those five years.) I know these numbers are almost meaningless in budget terms but it's still stupid.

There is literally no upside to your principled stance, the best case scenario is that it doesn't matter and the worst is that it helps Trump and his down ticket allies.

If I were MSNBC right now I'd be polling WI and UT 5 times over the next month about willingness to support a Walker/Romney run. That way they get 15% and can be included on the debate stage right?

I never said don't vote - but if you're not in a swing state and you are a white male no one is holding a gun to vote in the WWE match. Write in 'Yang Wenli' - make some statistical noise. Of course downticket matters - find out who each candidate is and make the best decision you can.
