mango sentinel posted:No the whole reason Pence is VP is that Manafort hand picked him and went to great lengths to orchestrate a situation where Trump was on board with it. No way is he outside any of this. Can I meet you in the middle and say “Mike Pence is a huge gently caress-up that ruined Indiana and had no chance for re-election so Manafort, knowing Pence’s desperation, hand picked him and went to great lengths to orchestrate a situation where Trump was on board with it. No way is he outside any of this.” Because I agree with you that Pence is definitely dirty.

But if he is, that means he's the one member in this entire administration smart enough to hide his misdeeds.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:Kaine's a politician and "I'm pro-life but I don't believe in forcing my beliefs on others" is a politician's stance. It's inherently contradictory, especially if you adhere to the belief that abortion is, in fact, murder. I take issue with this reasoning. Pacifists don't have to view soldiers as murderers. Choosing not to commit an act for ethical reasons doesn't mean one has to assign the most extreme categorization to that act.

enraged_camel posted:i met a guy at the gym yesterday and we started talking. he said he was flying to california the next day (today). Hahah holy poo poo. I mean I know there's the "non political" types out there who really just don't give a poo poo (and thus usually don't know much) about civics, but that's some serious next level "living under a rock" type obliviousness. I'm almost loving jealous. Sometimes when everything that's happened (and is currently happening) hits me all at once, I wish I could be that joyfully oblivious to so much of the past two years. Or at least have the ability to take like week long mental vacations where I'm oblivious.

There are 37 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 37 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon spite, who believe that they are victims, who believe the media has a responsibility to coddle them, who believe that they are entitled to a wall, to guns, to a white ethnostate, to you-name-it. That's an entitlement. The government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:I'd say rather that if he goes below 36% that's the official Mattering. IMO it's all about a trend forming. If he dips to 34% then rises back up in a few weeks then it really didn't matter. Nixon's approval ratings trended downward pretty much the entire duration of Watergate. Trump's been involved in a more-serious-than-Watergate scandal for 2 years and he's remained steady.

Pence is probably dirty on some Flynn stuff but that stuff is a little more obscure and seemingly less serious that anything Trump is involved in.

Just after the 2016 election someone (Chris Hayes?) posted an article where he went looking for the most politically detached people he could find, and would up with subjects who for example didn't understand that voting could affect their health care. I guess that poster found one of them in the wild. Congratulations?

As far as I could tell, the problem wasn't the word "issue"; it was a fundamental lack of understanding of what constituted the broad category of the "political." The undecideds I spoke to didn't seem to have any intuitive grasp of what kinds of grievances qualify as political grievances. Often, once I would engage undecided voters, they would list concerns, such as the rising cost of health care; but when I would tell them that Kerry had a plan to lower health-care premiums, they would respond in disbelief--not in disbelief that he had a plan, but that the cost of health care was a political issue. It was as if you were telling them that Kerry was promising to extend summer into December. https://chrishayes.org/articles/decision-makers/ Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Jan 18, 2019 |

Doesn't Mike Pence send his advance team to clear any dogs away from anywhere he appears? That alone should disqualify you for any office.
