“Who better than Castro to replace her in 8 years?”

“Booker really is the real deal, in my opinion when it comes to on the ground, people-first politiking and I think he would have broad appeal with the progressive types because of that.”

Yes you can.

Kaine or Warren I hope. Castro would be a terrible pick. Nothing against him, but he looks like he’s 14 years old and has no national experience as an elected politician. Picking him would not just look like pandering, but incompetent pandering.

Well, the problem is I think the importance of ground game is overestimated, especially on the right where voters in swing states tend to have more money, access to cars, and are less likely to have voter suppression techniques used against them. Most of them will show up whether the campaign has local operations or…

I hope so; the problem with Manafort is he seems a lot more competent than Lewandowski, if equally a jerk.

I was disappointed. He’s a terrible campaign manager and I wanted him to continue to run the Trump campaign into the ground. Also I was hoping he’d eventually try manhandling an adult male instead of a woman or child and get smacked down. Or, even better, he’d try manhandling a female martial artist and get smacked…

See, now THAT would make it interesting.

Or in their culture they felt their responsibility was to find someone to take care of her.

This sounds like a woman I know; developmentally disabled, but it didn’t interfere with her living day-to-day life or raising children. She was abandoned by her sociopathic ex-husband (who I’m sure married her because she was so vulnerable). She understands the difference between right and wrong but when cognitively…

“I mean, is that okay for someone to get whisked away into marriage and have kids without rather a lot of social assistance?”

I’m not a 23-year old guy with a man-bun, a goatee, and an affected California surfer accent, so nothing I make can be technically artisanal.

I set up a logical syllogism. Your response is consistent with it. Yes, you have passed my test. Go in peace.

Unless you are black and/or Caribbean, or Hasidic, I think you’re part of the gentrification...

Are they failed relationships? When I was single, nine consecutive flings with VS models would not feel like a failure.

It’s far less than that, so yeah, this table makes zero sense.

There has been enormous meaningful dialogue — the issue has been battled through courthouses, state governments, U.S. Congress, etc.. The fact that we have failed to get significant gun control implemented does not mean the issue hasn’t been vigorously fought over.

The problem is alcohol is often a useful gift; most people (not all people, I know) enjoy it, it will likely get used, and most importantly from my point of view it can avoid the “am I expected to bring a present or not” because either way bringing a bottle of wine isn’t weird.

Yep. I would hope anyone who does not provide alcohol at their wedding will take steps to reduce the length, improve the quality of the food, and look the other way when people bring in flasks.

I wish that were true, but I think you greatly underestimate the amount of racist, classist, and sexist rhetoric that is accepted in mainstream society. Trump is unusual in that he is the first mainstream presidential candidate to say these kinds of things, but there are plenty of national-level GOP politicians and…
