What? Of course she wants to persuade his voters to swing to her side. That’s hard to do when he’s still right there. Obama didn’t do much to peel off Hillary voters (white and working-class), he cut his own brand-new path via minorities and young people.

No, the GOP can’t win. Trump would not only have to win a higher percentage of the white population than Romney (doubtful - he’s still Trumpy the Clown to most white people), he would also have to win a higher percentage of those same minorities that he’s been bashing for his entire campaign. We’re in the midst of…

That’s great! But can we admit that he’s not going to get the nom this year, and should probably drop out instead of adding even the minute risk of a Trump presidency?

I don’t think I’d go that far to blame them, but it’s certainly not helping.

Says who? Ask about taxing the wealthy and you’ll get broad support. The national consensus is that abortion should be safe but rare, the same as Clinton himself said. The entire South had no problem with the super left New Deal Democratic party until the Democrats started giving blacks equal rights in the 1960s.…

But as of today, he is another Ralph Nader type. Paul Tsongas was the Bernie of 1992, tying Clinton in many primary races by running further left and staying with Billy C right up to the convention. He then turned around and faded from history. You may be right about Sanders’ movement, but it’s too early to say that…

Or you could self-righteously pout while that system rolls right on by without you, and you’re not even there to argue about it.

I didn’t like it, but didn’t quite hate it. Kind of like mixing a strawberry with an onion.

Eh, 98% of students are still walking around not giving a crap about these things. It’s just the wacky outliers that get the press.

That’s a good question, but I feel like it’s the latter. Nobody today uses the word “Oriental” except for old people, yet everyone knows that’s an outdated and ugly word. It’s like a combination of historical and satirical descriptions will keep the word from losing its prior connotation because outdated racial terms…

Connotation in action. Words get their meaning from their association, and “colored person” is associated with old-timey racism.

Very true. Someone has to be the tip of the spear, even if that tip is bent out of shape sometimes.

I’ll tell you the REAL problem with this country — it’s Taylor Swift and her ilk!

Dude, yes. NHL.tv is complete BS for this very reason. You’re going to bait me that way just so I’ll pay for Kevin Weekes doing in-studio highlights?

Thanks to you I learned a new word today. World = expanded

Really? I thought the DC flag was really prominent when I lived there.

I don’t think you can rank anyone for state arrogance ahead of Texas. They fly their flag at the same height as the U.S. flag.

There are Flyers truthers?

+1 Fisk Hall for the Medill props / insult

Shitting at work is the best way to spend the 9:30 to 10 a.m. part of the day! You are really missing out by lumping work deuce in with public deuce.
