Staying in power above all else. He has no clear policy, aside from destroying the lives of immigrants. He has no vision. He just wants to be able to brag that he won “landslide” elections and was the most loved president ever. Yes, he already thinks that he is more loved than Reagan. He often calls himself “your…

And he couldn’t possibly be bothered to suspend a summer weekend of golf. “It’s never a vacation.” Sure, fat man. I do wonder how he would respond if dozens of Americans died in a Islamist bombing as opposed to just another massacre by a white supremacist. I really do think he would tweet about how great the police…

Toledo...Dayton....whatever. He’s going to win that state anyway, right? And that is all he cares about. Staying in power.

He also misread yet another speech, and did his trademark real-time delivery correction (incorrect word + and + correct word). He said “ripped from their arms, and lives.” I doubt that “arms” is anywhere in the speech. An awful speech. And Creepy Pence was being creepy.

This is the seat Beto should targeting. Sorry for the gun metaphor.

And I counter with Saint Louis. Two very distinct halves. And the white half is really violent and angry. And I still think Detroit is a better midwestern city overall than Chi-town.

Brian, we ARE too late. The IPCC report in 1990 warned us what we had to do by 2010. Now that’s 30 years ago, and we didn’t do the work. We are too late. Hope you didn’t have children. If you did, I’m sorry.

Comment of the day. You are absolutely right. The GOP is burning the Republic down. They are leaving embers for whatever Democratic president replaces Trump in 2021 or 2025. It’s over.

You saw it happen. A GOP Senate would block a Democratic president in her first or fourth year. That question has been answered. We've crossed the Rubicon.

Mitch would absolutely block nominees for 4 years. And if the House ever impeached Trump, he would refuse to host a trial.

My side bitched about Clinton, sure. But then we recruited a smart BU alum named Alexandria Ocascio-Cortez to take a dormant House seat. Now we’re slowly changing the Democratic party. So bitches…

Even if Clinton had won, it wouldn’t have stopped the GOP from dominating the majority. They would have kept the Senate and blocked most of Clinton’s judicial nominations (and all her Supreme nominations). The fundamental problem of their minority rule would still be with us. But the DNC killed this nation by…

No I think I summarized the last 20 years very well, thanks.

If by “we” you men hispanic and black men, then yes, we didn’t show up and vote for Clinton. Only black women did. But considering how many white women and white catholics voted for Trump, I’d say the Republic is finished. We’re done. Between Bush v. Gore, Citizens United, and the new white nationalist GOP minority…

Oh, quite relevant. The GOP used to follow a rule that the runner-up in the previous cycle would get the nomination in the following cycle. It happened with Bush 41. It happened with Mitt Romney. It would have happened with MCCain, but Bush 43 cut in line. And yet the GOP went back to McCain anyway in the following…

This. I don’t see the GOP re-taking the house anytime soon. But I do see the Democrats losing seats in 2020. I don’t see them winning the Senate nor the White House.

Another academic agrees with me. In 2019.

The heroes of the Lion King are the fascists.

She was more conservative than Obama, who didn’t ask his followers to remain active in politics once he was in office. He promised change, but then didn’t keep his base energized to keep Democrats in power at the state level. Centrism kills.

I’m 46. If you are younger than me, it is you will eat a lot of shit as the…

Have you asked your Congressman why he or she didn’t join The Squad in resisting writing the Trump administration a blank check to build more concentration camps? Centrism kills. Voting for Bernie, Stein or Trump was bad. But saying nothing right now as we commit crimes against humanity is equally bad or worse. Even…

I thought it would be good to find the oldest critique I could find. It’s from 1996, and back then, it was a minority opinion.
