So in ancient battles, the most dangerous part of the battle was the rout. During the main battle, you have two armies fighting in coordinated fashion. A lot of people died, but in general, the tactics were designed to minimize that. But, when one side lost the will to keep fighting and fled, thats when the real causalities occurred. Its was no longer army vs army, but army vs 1000s of individual people. Tactics went out the window, and people would just get mowed down.

We're approaching that point of this race

The knives have come out. It's GOP civil war.

As someone whose job is to evaluate CEOs, Trump is an outlier as "bad CEO" goes. Even given the magnitude of his lameness, he's not going to dislodge Zuckerberg/Musk/Jobs/etc as the archetype.

Maybe you don't feel comfortable discussing this, but what's your job? How do you evaluate CEOs? As individuals? As currency? As feelings?

I'm a partner in a venture capital firm. I evaluate CEOs in terms of their ability to build and lead a team in constructing a strong business, coach them on doing so, and occasionally determine that they need to be replaced. They need to be trustworthy, effective strategists, good communicators, and inspiring leaders. 1/4 doesn't get you funded.

No, Belarus would be "White Russia" (or rather they would be White Rus to themselves, and White Russia to Russians...) Russia traditionally did call Ukraine "Little Russia", and called the Ukrainian language "The Little Russian Dialect of the Great Russian Language" when doing things like banning publication of all books and all public performances in the language.

What she's suggesting is actually kind of :prepop: the more I think about it. If the goal was to get Trump to act more unhinged by antagonizing him through getting in his space, that's a really, really ballsy move. Like, "this guy is nuts. Let's get him to act more nuts by getting closer to him."

I mean, I suppose even in the absolute worst case scenario where he completely loses it and physically assaults her, the Secret Service would pull him off her in less than 2 seconds and Hillary enjoys an all-50 states landslide, but I can only imagine how unnerving it would be to physically use yourself as bait of sorts in the hopes of setting off someone you believe to be an unstable powder keg. I'm not sure yet I buy it.

If you could somehow prove this it would make me respect her even more.
