Why is Elizabeth Warren not the front runner over her lesser rivals.  And yes, I said lesser.  She’s smarter than the two other front runner hands down.

Shit take from a shit tweet, tbh. Sanders too has played into the “bad evil dude” narrative while also still calling this what it was and how bad it is.

I didn’t find it hypocritical. It’s one thing to be a rich person who uses their own money to help fund their campaign. It’s another thing to be a person (rich or poor) taking money from 3rd parties who are expecting a return on investment.

Eh, if Pete Buttigieg is going to be up there trying to score points for being the only person up there whose not a millionaire (unsurprising given that he’s 37) I’m not going to begrudge anyone for sneering at the wine cave (especially THAT wine cave used for the purpose of promising a bunch of rich people he doesn’t…

This...

I don’t think that the issue here is the *existence* of the wine cave. It sounds fancy, but it’s a practical thing that exists.

I mean, the sad truth is that there is literally NOTHING that will actually do that, the farther left is just as deluded as any political wing in its self righteous nature and that victory is as simple as “If you Champion It With Your Massive Leftist Dick, They Will Come”and if that doesn’t work then it was something…

When GWB said, “Americans already have health care. It’s called the emergency room,” even his answer was better than whatever Pete said.

While the Starr/Whitewater investigation went down a crazy rabbit hole, I’ve never really felt comfortable with the way we talk about and try to minimize and trivialize the Clinton-Lewinsky thing. It wasn’t simple adultery. It was a textbook abuse of power, and arguably, it should have been considered borderline…

Happily married man here and I’ve never put any part of my wife in my mouth in public. I also assume you were born yesterday - please Google “Joe Biden + creep”, let me know what you learn!

I was with you right until the last sentence, and there I have to disagree because the GOP loves nothing more than a good old hypocritical albatross.

Putting aside all of the illegal and potentially treasonous things the president has done and that the GOP is desperate to defend him over, it’s easy to lose sight of how batshit insane it is for the president of the United States to treat American citizens like this. I mean, in a world where things mattered, we might…

I mean Page/Strozik is the equivalent of barracks griping, no more no less. There isn’t an organization on earth that doesn’t have Page/Stroziks bitching in the background. The GOP will never live this saga down it’ll hang around it’s neck like an Albatross.

Yeah my thoughts too. Having unique donations from billionaires just happens to put her and Booker at the top. And when you’re dealing with billionaires it really isn’t telling the full story that she has 46 while, say, Buttigieg has 39. One or two of Buttigieg’s or any other candidates could have donated TONS or not…

Depends on how 2020 shakes out. If the Democratic Party gets the trifecta (House, Senate, Presidency), I could see either it passing on a party-line vote, or being shot down by Manchin + one other conservative Dem eager to prove their bonafides. It might also be traded away in exchange for something else; if they can…

Obvious Senility plus incredible meanness is what we have, so for me the choice in the national election will be clear. Anyone but Trump.

Actually it was up to Pelosi. And this is what we have. She was waiting for it, she got it, and it’s a strong case. Likely the Senate will not vote to convict but they will have to vote, on the record, for this kind of crook. Which probably is going to hurt them in the long term (see The Meanest Snowflake’s…

Speaking as one of those stans, I think Elizabeth Warren will dodge what really hammered Obama, because I don’t think Warren will own-goal herself in the name of proving that she can bring people together. I think she’s realized that the Republicans are not simply pandering for the crowds in Dubuque; that the reason…

Wild how Klobuchar and Booker have (according to basically every liberal cable news talking head) absolutely murdered the opposition at every debate they’ve been in, and yet remain at 1-2% in the polls. It’s almost as if debates are just meaningless bullshit that have no material impact on politics!
