US PoliERA 2018 |OT10| McConnell is "mule piss"

I think 53 is really underselling it. I'm thinking sixties, honestly.
Chris Matthews? Bleh.
Get ready for some highly slobbery "gotcha" questions.
Media loves winners. Republicans always win, even if they're losing they project a win. They play to win by hook or by crook (literally). They hate Democrats because they're introspective, not full of themselves and cautious, and the only reason why Dems could win is accidentally.
That Slate interview, wow.
That man is actual real life example of someone educated enough to know a lot of things yet stupid enough to understand none of what he knows.

I'm pretty sure Matthews is on the Beto hype train. I think they'll be taking questions from students anyway.
He does but I don't think this is a format where the suckiness will be a problem.
Chris Matthews looks like he's in a perpetual state of eating a particularly sour Warhead.
Sixties early on, sure, but I think the sheen would have worn off very quickly.
A more reasonable president wouldn't much if anything to paper over the severe problems within the GOP caucus. Whatever ACA or tax cut bills could pass would still be disasters. I don't think people would be quite as mad - we'd be looking at 15-20 House seats tops with a handful of crucial governors' races, and the Senate would be a complete fantasy rather than just long odds. But as Box of Kittens pointed out earlier, it's not like Trump, or similarly bad candidates like Moore were just some accident that happened to the GOP. I think the party is too far gone to be saved by one figurehead they can rally around.
I missed it in theaters cause it released just as MoviePass started going completely belly-up :(
I'm not sure it's so much that he's a disaster per say that's a problem, it's that Trump shook up and shifted the numbers on the map that the specific way they've gerrymandered it doesn't accurately reflect Trumps stengths
i.e., us making huge pick ups in suburban areas where as the GOP built their gerrymandering around their ability to dominate these like they did in the Bush era
One of those is me. Though my polling place wasn't too crowded (never is)
If Beto really has no interest in the white house then we are going to miss out on a probably great presidental candidate, such a shame
what would be an acceptable loss for beto to still be a viable candidate in 2020, were he to run? within three points or so or would it not matter so much even if he gets soundly beaten because of a vastly different electorate in the important primary states
This whole thing, basically.
It's not fair. OBAMA!!!!

Gerrymandering is ultimately like a military occupation: spread your troops to cover as much of the conquered populace as possible. Territory you can't safely control you cede in its entirety (leading to the fact that some of the most Democratic districts in the country are in bad R gerrymander states, like PA, OH, MI, FL, and GA). But then if there's strain, a revolt, your soldiers are spread too thin and the whole thing collapses, Napoleon or Hitler style.
I'm sorry, but to say Kasich would only have a 53% approval rating is laughable. He is more popular among Democrats than Republicans here in Ohio, and that is mainly because he has been relatively pro-ACA since the beginning. The only thing I could see changing under a Kasich presidency is the individual mandate going away.
Now does he suck on the other issues, like abortion? Sure. But people aren't really running for or against abortion right now. Healthcare is the big issue.

So comically dumb. I cant believe this guy is president. Did the Fed chairman ever explain to orange bag of piss how interest rates work, what is inflation and how the Fed adjusts them? Because somebody should.
Yeah. It really hit hard. I choked up some and reflexively flipped off Trump when he showed up and a guy to my left shouted "Fuck you Trump!"
The problem is that Beto has repeateadly expressed zero interest on pursuing anything more than the senate, unless hes lying but he doesnt strike me as one
Title's a bit misleading; the guy handed the tickets to Gillum's brother, and he basically said "HEY BRO I GOT TICKETS YOU WANNA COME?!"
Not to sound like a broken record, but I think it was telling that a recent CNN poll had Kamala listed third among 2020 prospects, just a couple points behind Bernie and a point ahead of Warren.
I mean in the Beto town hall when pushed he was all like, 'well listen, i can tell you im focused on 6 years in the senate and then after that we'll see.' Pretty obvious.
I think everyone talking about how high Kasich or Rubio or whoever's approval ratings would be is forgetting the x-factor that would bring them down:
Trump TV, day and night whining about how badly they're betraying the Republican base and declaring that if only Trump hadn't been unfairly robbed of the nomination he'd be doing a much better job.

It really is. He presents a solid reasoning for voting after going decades without doing so. If only more of the people I knew had more faith in voting or at least were willing to give it a try. But too many of them believe that nothing will change and that both sides are the same despite everything that the GOP and Trump have done lately.
I keep telling people here and in Etc that the race is her's, yet no one ever wants to listen.
She hasn't even turned on the burners yet. This is just word of mouth hype and exposure from the Kavanaugh hearing.
Nah, she won in that "who do you want to be the nominee" poll. People are going to hang on to "their man" until he or she loses, as they should. The primaries haven't even started yet.
But, yes, she ticks off all the boxes and I think she has major demographic advantages in coastal urban centers and the South.
She will likely be my first choice provided shes still in by the time I vote.
He's quite good looking isn't he
Who would I even vote for between him and Beto
Kamala
