It’s terrifying, you can just imagine the bad situations it can lead to for them, what they could potentially be pressured into. What is so hard is that she felt really bad about letting him down and was as kind about it as you can be, which I was proud of, and for that she gets grief from the girls at school. The…

I’m sure that’s not but true but thank you very much, I just really try my best. She and I are close and I am the one she goes to most of the time (which I love and amazed she still does) which means I am constantly talking about the world and these big issues. I hate how young this stuff gets pushed on them, you…

That is horrifying and I am glad he’s suffering now, may it be slow and public. These stories terrify me as a father, because all I can think of is “oh great, another situation where I’d end up in jail for murder”

I was just having a version of this conversation with my daughter, focusing on entitlement. A guy she is just friends with likes her and she let him down easily (she’s so sweet, she’s had to let down a few and does it with compassion beyond her years) and some people were giving her grief about it, especially the…

Context really is everything though. Because let’s say he says something like, “I’m gonna make her go make me a sandwich!” It sounds sexist, but really it isn’t about sexism; he just REALLY wants a sandwich

And no one does it like the GOP

Christie, wanting to show he’s listening, changes his words

He should have just offered everyone there $100 to clap, he’d have gotten way more for his money than he did in Iowa

Tying knots and taxidermy

I don’t necessarily disagree, though we don’t know the specifics of the existing agreement and if that is what was agreed to (I think there is a good chance that it wasn’t each get to choose locations but rather each propose a couple and they compromise). All I said is that I think already threatening to pull out is…

I believe they chose Flint because it is the center of arguably the largest crisis and failure of government due to lack of regulation in our country, and a great example of what Democrats are fighting for

You can’t trade off what you already gave away, and they already agreed to New Hampshire

1. This one was scheduled by the network and candidates, which is why it was initially unsanctioned

Not all debates are un by the party, MSNBC is hosting their own, Fox did the same. To your issue, no frontrunner wants debates, but she does view them as an easy way to get a bump (she just doesn’t want him to get a bump too). As for testifying, the moment the country saw her dragged her in front of a committee to…

I don’t disagree that the debate schdule helped her and that DWS helped out a friend, although I think it was equally about having a smooth ride to the nomination so the party looks like our crap is together. That doesn’t change the fact that she has gotten a bump after every debate

Also, your name is awesome
“Mrs. Blankenship was a hellcat?!” She was great, her lines to him were classic and so quotable

It is, but it is about who shows up to attend and they will be a strong presence. And if the scene outside is the streets full of Sanders supporters, like Trump in Vermont, that makes for good b-roll and makes him look stronger in a state that she is supposed to control than he really is

And to have footage of his people filling the streets, like Trump intentionally overbooking in Vermont, because it makes for good b-roll. I’d counter with Harlem or Manhattan and go from there, or better yet, I think it was Henry Clay who said “A good compromise is when both parties are dissatisfied,” so Jersey it is!

Thank you for your service. I hope you know how many of us appreciate it

This is where it is significant that while he is a committed liberal, he is not a committed Democrat. Hilary stumped like crazy in ‘08, and sure some of it was calculated and for her own future, but it was also because she’s a true party loyalist and that is what you are supposed to do. The party comes first, because…
