if HRC looked like Nikki Haley she’d be sitting in the White House.
Roughly half of the postwar pres' have been fat. Trump, Clinton, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, all chubby guys (trump egregiously so)

i got a poll in an email from the Progressive Campaign Change Committee and it was a poll about presidential candidates post-Oprah. it asked whether you want her to run (i said no), whether you'd approve if she ran (i picked the lowest level of approval), one-on-one matchups between her and Sanders and her and Elizabeth Warren (picked against Oprah for both), and a three-way matchup between all of them (i picked Bernie). i'm keeping an eye out for a follow up email with the results. internet polls aren't the end-all be-all but i really don't think there is widespread support for a talk show host who gave a platform to hucksters

true, but i doubt many people outside of the blue checkmark mafia and people who think their media work influences people seriously think she'd be any good

the blue checkmark brigade were responsible for a lot of the astroturfing for Hillary in the primary though. not saying they can just crown a winner but they can definitely tip a scale.

clinton didn't really get fat until his second term, and since he became a vegan he's really slimmed down

btw if anyone wants to take the poll that i mentioned, here it is. the Working Families Party did one of these during the dem primary, and bernie won it by a 2-to-1 margin, which was instrumental in them ultimately endorsing him

call me naive, but i don't think they'll have quite the sway in this primary that they had in the previous one. it's more obvious than ever that their captive audience is smaller than it was before and there's a lot more fatigue with their message, even among registered Democrats

"Does your 60 hour-a-week desk job make your back hurt and leave you emotionally exhausted and stressed? Of course it does. Studies show that “death by office job” is real: people who sit at a desk all day are more likely to be obese, depressed, or just dead for no discernible reason. But you can dull these effects and improve your wellness with these O-approved strategies: Become more of an “out-of-the-box thinker” because creative people are healthier. Bring photos, posters, and “kitschy figurines” to decorate your workspace: “You’ll feel less emotionally exhausted and reduce burnout.” Write down three positive things that happened during your workday every night before leaving the office to “reduce stress and physical pain from work”.

This is amazing.

She's a grifter, most billionaires are. After all, she was pretty much the main reason The Secret got so popular.
