Trump would have beat Bernie, too. he would have attacked him for the communist regimes he supported, the nationalization of industries, the stuff he wrote about wanting little kids to run around nude... i understand it all in context but most voters would not have.

how did “the DNC” run Hillary? didn’t she get, like, 54% of the primary popular vote? should they have overturned that? would that have been democratic?

DNC chair isn’t an elected position and they only need to run effective congressional and presidential campaigns and promote the party— so yes, for this job, it is.

one of the reasons Howard Dean seems appealing to many Democrats is because of his 50-state strategy that brought us 2006 and 2008, which saw us winning seats in places like Middle Tennessee and Western Michigan. Keith Ellison doesn’t have the experience that Howard Dean does and even if Democrats don’t need racist…

“secular jew” my ass, she identifies as agnostic (semi-practicing Jew speaking here). she runs around with people like Julian Assange who say their enemies are “Jews or of a Jewish sort”, holocaust deniers, anti-Zionists, etc. She herself isn’t an anti-semite but her positions on Israel aren’t much different from…

so Oppo research is rigging? talking shit is rigging? what actual steps (excluding the whole donna brazile debate questions) did the DNC take to ensure he couldn’t win. She won by the popular vote and delegates by a large margin.

what she clearly doesn’t understand is if trump does win, there won’t be a revolution because the wackos’ preferred candidate would have won. only if Hillary wins will there be a revolution. if he wins, Hillary supporters will just go back to work or school instead of bring their torches and pitchforks to “the…

I think we all believe that certain industries need more regution and oversight but believing that no vaccines should be trusted because a GlaxoSmithKline exec is on this committee fuels the skepticism that Jill Stein promotes which in turn effectively endorses opposition to vaccines.

Enlighten me— how did the completely unqualified Jill Stein earn your vote? was it because her positions on Israel are rooted in Anti-semitism? because she wants to destroy the economy by aboloshing everything in every industry that she deems evil or simply “too corprorate?” not to mention that she wants to solve our…

The sad thing is, is that the Rust Belt and Upper Appalachia where Trump is supposed to have an “edge” is full of third- or fourth-generation Americans who appear to have completely forgotton that their grandparents immigrated from Czechoslovakia or wherever. Theyre voting for trump because they think he’ll reverse…

I wasn’t aware that a bunch of northerners had suddenly started fleeing for Alabama all of the sudden. Most population growth is occuring in increasingly purple or blue states— the west coast, Georgia. SC, NC, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Arizona. Most red states don’t have strong economies like, say, California or…

Morning Joe, I think. And Natalie Morales hosts the West Coast first hour now. The only gem left is Hoda and Kathie Lee.

i grew up in dallas and there was a clinic about a block a way from a middle school and protesters would bring graphic and disgusting posters and signs while kids walked home. it was awful.

What about Hoda and Kathie Lee?

You’re right, her race is in midterms. most other Dallas County offices are up during Presidential elections. Still, its a very blue county that went for Wendy Davis even when she lost The state by 21 points in 2014.

The good news is that the appointment will be up for election in november. its unlikely that they would be reelected to a full term, especially given that the DA is the only county office held by a Republican other than a seat on the county commission.

I agree, they are not treated like long-settled whites, especially with increasingly common but distinct last names and frequent stereotyping.

The belief behind that is that in Latin American countries no one calls themselves “Hispanic”— Mexico is 16% white and majority “mestizo” (white and Native). Countries like Argentina, Chile and Puerto Rico are more than 75% white. Between Guatemala and Paraguay, theyre overwhelmingly Native or Mestizo and in Dominican…

I gained 60 pounds in my freshman year in college. 5 years later i have lost some of it and I’m doing fine in that department that you speak of. I eat alright and work out regularly and i’m used to having a bit of a belly.

Research has shown that productivity and growth decreases when the basic income is abused. Unemployment benefits like they have in Canada and the UK are one thing, and tax cuts and payments for really charitable people who volunteer is one other thing. But paying people who refuse to work or contribute to the economy?…
