This...actually makes sense. Trump picking a woman, though, would be a stretch. He doesn't respect any except for Ivanka.
It worked so well for Roy Moore, I mean why not?
But y tho
Oh well, yay Cordray I guess
She's spent less than a year on the bench. Extremely qualified my fucking ass
Why did they rally around Moore?
They probably have their own skeletons in their closets.
Precisely. Haspel, despite the skeletons, is actually qualified for the position. Barret is not.
Even Gilead promotes breastfeeding!
Awesome. I expect Bevin to get crushed.
McConnell's PAC had the foresight to pull out.
Ronna Romney did not, and that (alongside a million other factors) probably helped exacerbate the insane gender gap
Democrats should call out this "but he/she is qualified" crap. Trump is barely qualified to do the most basic of work. DeVos isn't qualified for DoE. Pruitt wasn't qualified for EPA. It's not something that concerns them at the least.
I expect this to be a major emphasis in 2020. It's clear what the inexperience is doing to our country. That's why I feel someone like Biden has a leg up on the competition in the early stages. Not too hard to argue, "Hey--I've been there before in that very White House in a time almost all of us want to get back to."
As much as I'd appreciate a steady hand, Joseph shoulder rub Biden would not be my preferred nominee. He's simply too easy to attack imo. Not that he wouldn't do a good job as president, of course
If this was 2012, I'd agree with you. That said, Trump (the man with multiple affairs, a report about a sexual assault of his wife, etc.) is president. Rubbing shoulders isn't going to be too much of an issue.
I love Biden and think he'll be a great president. I think he is one of the very few who will be able to go head to head with Trump and actually make him look bad. Would I rather have Gillibrand? Yes, easily. But I feel like she'll be easiest to attack (Hillary 2.0), Booker has a bad NJ corruption history, Harris hasn't done anything yet to prove to me she can attract votes in a national election, Bernie is just Bernie, Brown is anti-trade, etc.
Regardless of my feelings, it's going to be an interesting primary.
The problem is the attacks on Democrats for this sort of thing work, while the attacks on Republicans largely do not work unless it's basically proven (like with Moore).
Is it possible Kaisich could call upon Jordan to resign? Is he still interested in playing the "look at me, I'm not like the other GOP crazies" card for a future run for POTUS?
OK-05 would certainly be a surprise. While people are pessimistic about GA-06, Cook does rate it Lean Republican, not Likely.
New York's 2nd Congressional District should be competitive, but Cook at least doesn't see Peter King being in any danger. Is Shirley not a strong candidate or is King just too strong an incumbent?
He could, but it would just be for publicity as he can't actually do anything himself.
That's the thing. It wouldn't be to anyone who's been reading the tea leaves in this state. It might be to Republicans who never thought they'd have to compete in Oklahoma.
Hey has Greenwald ever said anything about these flagrant assassinations? Does he deny that the Russians did them or does he just say that the CIA is worse?
Even though I know these stupid tweets don't matter, it's policy and legislation that does, I can't help but feel sad when I'm reminded that our president is a huge troll.

Peter King has historically been a strong hawkish incumbent. I feel the post 9/11 environment fit him well amongst hawks and it didn't hurt his position on Long Island.
Thought of this last night; if the Democrats do indeed take back the house... does Nancy decide to not invite Trump to do a State Of The Union address in 2019 and 2020? Would be a great way of limiting his propaganda.
I think that we should be discussing Schumer way more than we discuss Pelosi.

Why are you posting tweets from that future securities fraud felon?
That's an act of war, and I hope the west treats it as such.
Time to liberate Russia.
no, do not liberate, further sanction, and place a ban on goods.
lift sanctions on allies and china in exchange for them doing unilateral sanctions against the ruskies.
I mean, we're not gonna do shit under Trump and war's not a realistic scenario with Russia's nukes. What more can western Europe do to put pressure on Russia? I'm honestly ignorant, but I assumed they already had a bunch of sanctions on them.
I believe they are mostly travel restrictions and asset freezes, so suspect they could extend those further, impose tariffs on goods and services, expel diplomats, etc.
Putin doesn't seem like the type to back down when being squeezed though.
Turns out they haven't made Russian bots that can show up to rallies in meatspace.
(Yet.)
Wont whip standing together for cohort Mark Sanford's beyond-the-pale bullying by The Dotard.
Will whip standing together for cohort Jim Jordan's beyond-the-pale complicitness with predatory pedophilia.
I like the guy who's this HYUUGE defender of LGBT people and issues is now stanning for Russia, home to LGBT pogroms.
