Alright. It's time for all of US Pol to dispense of something.

Hillary Clinton is not a good campaigner. She is a /fantastic/ campaigner. This only came out because she managed to swing the narrative from her to Comey in the space of 24 hours. Now Comey is so deep in the fuckbarrel it's hilarious.

I sincerely think KM is the best choice. She's brilliant and unlike me she has the patience of a saint

But your probation notes would be way more entertaining to read and you would probably visit such ferocity and vengeance upon us whites that it would be a sight to behold.

FWIW, 538 pegs it at 65% chance of Dem control for the Senate atm.

Based on this, I have a question for goons. In this scenario, If a) Merrick Garland doesn't get a hearing/confirmed by this Senate and b) he is not chosen as the nominee by Hillary, who are some of the likely good choices that would be interesting to read about? I remember when Scalia first passed away that Sri Srinivasan was on Obama's short list, and he's p. cool. There are some interesting choices here but what does everyone else think? I do like Garland by the way and hope he would be the first choice.

It's a decent remake but yeah people have dog piled onto the director for being a rapist... which never stopped anyone from seeing a Roman Polanski movie but I'll give you one guess as to what the director of BoaN skin tone is and why it suddenly matters.

Roman Polanski also didn't bully the victim afterwards to the point of literally driving her to kill herself

History shows, again and again, how nature points out the folly of man.
Keeping Garland on deck would be best, if only to showcase beyond all doubt the sheer rank hypocrisy of Senate Republicans when they still refuse to confirm him, despite their ostensible reason for stonewalling being their wanting to wait for the outcome of the election.

In Florida news:

https://twitter.com/steveschale/status/793175380081410048

quote:

Had a chance to crunch some more Florida data from weekend, and there are definitely some positive things for Dems related to Hispanics.
First, Hispanics now make up almost 13.5% of FL registered voters who have voted. And it has been fractionally growing every day.
Keep in mind, in FL, registration actually under counts Hispanics, since it is a self-reported category. So number higher than 13.5%.
But moreover, the NPA and Democratic Florida Hispanics who are voting are disproportionately low propensity voters.
In fact 50% of the FL Hispanic Democrats and 55% of Hispanic NPAs voted to date have never voted, or only in 1 of last 3 elections.
I don't want any Dem to read this and get overly giddy -- the election here in Florida is super close, and every vote is going to count.

I think this is moderately good news.

There's no way anyone besides Garland becomes the next justice. If he doesn't, this method of blocking will be considered a success and will happen again and again.

The caveat to this analysis is that anyone who Hillary appoints on her own (Srinivasan for an example, who is a cool guy; I met him) would likely be to the left of Garland -- but, critically, that relies on her having a Senate majority.
