Yeah, that was my reaction. “So, basically they’re the same candidate, except Witmer has more relevant experience. What makes El-Sayed a more exciting candidate?” I’m all for battling the establishment when necessary, but not just for the sake of it. If a person actually has relevant experience and good policy…

Bernie Sanders won more primary votes but somehow (thanks, former Clinton 2008 Presidential Campaign Co-Chair/2016 DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz) Hillary managed to accrue more delegates.

A forger working for CVS accuses a woman of being a forger.

Yeah. The whole “Smart is worth so much more” attitude is why teams are capped to begin with.

So his agent took a shot on a bigger deal and missed?

I think when most people talk about that, they mean that other GMs are almost afraid of trading with him. Because if he is willing to accept an offer, it likely means that you are going to be seen as a loser (based on recent history).

In reality, the sample size is pretty small and he has more likely than not lucked…

Did you seriously just link four different tweets all from the same “forums.realgm.com” link you were reading, not bother to scrub the linking info telling us that, and claim them all as “multiple refuting sources” when most of them are just slightly different rewords of the same report?
