Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."



Virginia is right about where you'd expect it to be at this point in time. Clinton is leading there in the RCP average by 7% and also leading Trump by 7% nationally. Obama won the popular vote in 2012 by a little under 4%, and Virginia by almost that same exact margin.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

Was just talking to a friend of mine about Ted Cruz's 2020 plans and heard a very interesting wrinkle: Joni Ernst. If the semi-popular Senator Hogballs, a far-right veteran woman with clear presidential aspirations, runs, Iowa becomes about 10 times harder for Cruz. Given Cruz doesn't have a shot in hell in NH, a Joni Ernst candidacy would really box him in in a tricky way.

Thoughts?

Joni Ernst sounded brain-dead in her rnc speech, her rising star status might not be totally assured

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

The Trumpeters already hate Paul Democrat Ryan, some are mad at Trump for giving the guy the time of day.

This is the problem with those super safe Republican states, the rising stars are graded not on any governing ability but on ideological purity.

The Cottons and the Ernsts and the Amashs will hit a wall.

It won't really be a disadvantage, considering that Ted Cruz fits that description perfectly.

It's the basis of his rigged conspiracy theory because some voting districts in Philly and Cleveland as reported by the PE had 0 votes for Romney in 2012.

Oh goody, we're going to see mainstream news anchors call the election illegitimate this year, thus encouraging Republicans in Congress to further shut down the basic functioning of government.

I wonder if we'll see SCOTUS seats filled in the next 4 years.

It isn't hard to imagine the current rationale for SC obstructionism "let the people choose who will decide the next Justice!" carried forward post-election "Hillary shouldn't get to choose the SC because she didn't really win!"

I would hesitate to say that Trump is laying the groundwork for that particular argument since he's the human id personified and doesn't care who ends up on the Supreme Court, but that won't stop some elements of the Republican Party from taking that ball and running with it.

It won't work. Assuming the dems at least tie the senate, they can change the rules to be a simple majority for all appointments. Because the republicans hold the majority in the senate, the can be obstructionist right now. Post election, that may not be the case.

Trump is trying to do the same thing only for the whole country. A foolproof strategy.
