That's the only real thing I can think of that would hurt him. So what if he's rich? Pretty much all politicians are and I wouldn't hold that against him.

That's the only real thing I can think of that would hurt him. So what if he's rich? Pretty much all politicians are and I wouldn't hold that against him.
If it gets to that point, and I'm finding it likely, he'd probably pull a Trump who also kept saying soon but shifted to "after the primary" and then "after the election" and now never.
No, that's the most likely thing, not the only thing that could hurt him. The Sander's institute taking in a bunch of money and doing nothing with it also raises some red flags.
In either case, it's insane to think that he doesn't at least have the last few years of tax returns at the ready, considering he's probably had his eyes on 2020 since 2016. It's actually insane to think that he didn't have 10 years in 2016 considering he's a career politician.
I actually haven't been paying too much attention to that, but yeah - that could be a huge issue too.
(For most of us, at least. I not sure there's much that will dissuade Bernie's supporters at this point.)
Well, we'll see. Given his last primary I think he'll at least end up putting up a year.
If he wins the primary he has to to be on the ballot for NJ
I'm pretty sure that's only for the general.
I suppose that means he'll have to in the general, I suppose.
How many years does NJ require anyway?
Good point. Saw states like Washington are also making this a requirement. Maybe he will be forced to then
-edit- oh it's only for the general? Bernie won't release his taxes then lol
We need a height comparison, there might be a Bigger Beto.
So umm, I think we assumed it was ideological and it may be still, but the impetus for the piece might a personal dispute?
Good stuff from Beto. Acknowledges and offers a policy proposal.
Lmao that caption. Was he supposed to answer it with anger and vitriol?
Yes. Actually encouraging to see a video of him acknowledging a problem and then saying what he will specifically do to address it.
Nasty shoes he wears into the men's restroom gawddam.
Outside of campaign-sourced ads, is NowThis the only one setting political appearances to music?
Everyone knows women's bathrooms are soooooooooooo much more gross
Harris ain't hopping on no counters.
Warren probably has special sneakers for counter walking.
Good. Specific and thoughtful. I'm kinda amazed that he can still think on the fly with how much he's been rushing around.
Do any of y'all like Mars Volta? http://metalinjection.net/politics/...-play-his-inauguration-if-he-became-president
He can't escape the weight of the war hanging on his shoulders. That and the crime bill will be an albatross around his neck once the primary actually starts.
Plus I'm 100% sure he gets outed as a serial sexual predator within like, two months.
Can we not accuse people of being serial sexual predators unless there is evidence of such? (And no, out-of-context pictures from extremely public swearing-in ceremonies is not evidence.)
Go nuts on Biden's record, though.
This was good. Really happy with how he responded to her and this issue.
This is far and away his biggest asset.
Imagine him as a GE candidate. He's going to be doing like 6,000 events a day. He won't even need to just camp out in FL/OH/PA the way we're used to candidates doing, he could probably visit all 50 states as the nominee if he wanted to.
We saw what he could do in Texas last year, now imagine replicating that across the entire country.
I didn't want to pick a favorite this early, but it's him.
Not to say he's done anything more than what's in those pictures, but the actual video of him creeping on women is worse. The pictures don't accurately depict him using his power to be creepy.
You see, when black people talk about "reparations" they are actually talking about "repair" and "repair" actually just means "continuing the conversation about history".
It's not even an answer lol. It's a long winded way of saying "no comment at this time".
I mean, the ability to come across as meaningful and earnest without promising any concrete proposals (which, to be fair, is something he shouldn't be doing anyway without a lot more listening / conversation) is a hell of a political ability. That's why it's a good answer. It's a really smooth politician answer.
Honestly, it's a better answer than "yes, I approve" with no concrete plan in place.
How about "yes I approve, and here's a concrete plan". If you allow politicians to get away with answers like that they're just going to continue to hem and haw until the heat death of the universe.
Yeah seriously. It's worse than a lot of people know, the south during the reconstruction era would just lock up black people and make them work effectively as slaves. Petty drug crimes continue to this day.
And for the record I think the "race neutral" programs Warren and Bernie talk about when reparations are brought up are totally insufficient ways to address the literal centuries of generational wealth that has been robbed from black families before and after slavery.
