US PoliERA 2018 |OT13| And now the fun starts

Since it came up earlier, and of course speaking only for myself, it's not that I think Sanders is only popular because he was the only alternative to Clinton, rather that because he was able to establish a solid base of support, he eventually emerged as the only real alternative to Clinton. This means that there was a part of his coalition that voted for him more based on opposition to Clinton than on support for him, which you can see for example in exit polls where he often fared well among conservative Democrats (the most extreme case being that a large portion of WV Sanders primary voters said they'd vote for Trump in the general even if Sanders won the nomination). Likewise in Democratic primaries in 2017-2018 where there was a clear left-right (left-center if you prefer) divide, the precinct level results often looked very different from the Sanders-Clinton results. That's not to say his message didn't resonate with a lot of people (again, the only reason he could even emerge as Not-Clinton was to first build a strong base of support), just that he probably can't count on starting with all or almost all his 2016 voters as his base support.
I'm not impressed by Brown's answers to these questions. He seems like he's not exactly sure what he's doing. He's a bit old, gruff, & stiff too.
I don't think he has it. (Also, he automatically would lose a Senate seat if he won).
Only candidates I'm impressed by so far are Beto & Bullock. Kamala / Kirsten / Booker may be okay but I'd need more time to evaluate them. Bernie, Warren, & Biden seem like flops to me.

Hawley getting hella investigated
Hawley getting hella investigated
I think that's why I was taken aback. I didn't think Tucker would confess that Trump isn't capable of giving him the monstrous future he wants. I just assumed most on Fox had unwavering confidence in their #1 fan.
I think both of these responses are fair, but it's hard because I'm a health care professional and Dems campaigned on healthcare. And many of these questions he felt like he was winging it on were related directly toward people's healthcare. It's obvious that everyone's healthcare experience is unique, but I just hope that he brushes up on how to answer these questions a little more directly for my tastes.
I mean yeah but also. Why don't you get them to pay fair wages without relying on citizens to fund private salaries first
It's a game show first and foremost, which is why it's stuck around.
Unironically this. I think hyper-partisanship is a direct result of losing this. You need ways to peel off support from the other side to combat hyper-partisanship. Morally, I'd love it if all 100 senators and 435 Reps voted progressively, but realistically why would any Republican vote across the aisle for what I want if they don't want it? Gotta have some pork to bribe them, essentially.
I mostly agree with you, but the electorate does love its bullshit sometimes though. Remember Clinton's "we're going to put a lot of people out of work" comment? That was accurate, good policy, not politically correct (it wasn't focus-testy at all), and it went over like a lead balloon.
Again, in this discussion, I mostly agree with you, but I think there are exceptions where the electorate doesn't actually want honesty at all.
I am torn on this one.
Firstly, proper wages would end the conversation but absent that:
1. It's pretty normal - most business lounges I've been in don't have tip jars.
2. International guests find it confusing, uncomfortable and in some cases insulting.
3. No other employees have a tip jar.
4. Nobody is in the business lounge for fun.
Just pay them what you pay desk staff.
Yeah the problem is the employees are taking home less money. If you want to remove the jar, figure out the loss they are taking and compensate or raise prices.
Sherrod Brown is a non starter in a world where someone will have to stand on stage and directly address Vladimir Putin. Also Bernie. Sorry.
Probably one of those ironic assholes who walk around in punisher shirts.
Bingo - yes, Sanders had a large core of actual support, obviously.
But, at the same time, in many states, he won voters who wanted the next Democratic nominee to be more conservative than Obama.
Seriously. It's a layup, too. 'Pay your people more!' and done.
It already said he's in law enforcement so you have to narrow it down. May as well have said "tactical Oakley blades"
Bipartisan AND from the same state? Would never, ever happen.
Remember Scott Pruitt?

Wisconsin billionaire business woman Diane Hendricks gave $50,000 toward former EPA head Scott Pruitt's legal defense fund. Disclosure report says "EPA ethics officials did not know of this contribution -- believed to be in cash -- until they received the termination report."

I'm gonna be posting this article more times than a switch port gets begged for ain't I. https://www.voterstudygroup.org/publications/2016-elections/political-divisions-in-2016-and-beyond
The areas where Bernie's support deviates significantly from Clinton/Obama are important.
Okay, that makes sense. Thank you. I need to do more reading about these reforms, basically.
Yeah like the deplorables comment, I'd categorize that as "hard truth" and you're right -- the electorate doesn't like hard truths.
How would she get to the debate if she were stuck in traffic because of antifa protests?
No problem. Its hard to overstate how much France is an insane outlier on this - this type of rightward movement in labor laws makes sense virtually nowhere else in the west.
Exactly my first thought. Though tipping (and employer abuse of it) is so entrenched in the US culture and economy there is probably no easy or fast fix, especially given the resistance to minimum wage changes.
As he is a law enforcement official, why stop at the tshirt, when you could have it on the hood of your patrol vehicle.

Joaquin Castro on @MSNBC: "Roger Stone, I'm almost certain, will be prosecuted for lying to the House Intelligence Committee."
Castro said Stone told Schiff and Swalwell at one point that he had no advanced knowledge of the 2016 emails dumps then, hours later, admitted he did.

Dan McCready for NC @McCreadyForNC
I didn't serve overseas in the Marines to come home to NC and watch a criminal, bankrolled by my opponent, take away people's very right to vote. Today I withdraw my concession and call on Mark Harris to end his silence and tell us exactly what he knew, and when.

NC gonna get juicy. If blatent voter fraud occurred, they need to blast that shit all over TV, cause you know, ACTUAL VOTER FRAUD is the fucking GOP.
Hillary's FP knowledge probably doesn't make her any better than a standard Dem president.
did they accidently a word or am I just illiterate again.
Can you not be authentically guarded?
I fake being sociable all the time. Is that authenticity?
Why is the edit post hidden behind a drop down?

If Kerry wouldn't be 77 in 2021 I'd say he should be a shoo-in for SoS again.
Just to be clear its ELECTION fraud, not voter fraud. No voter did anything wrong here. It seems nitpicky but I think its important to distinguish the two if we (us, the media, etc.) are going to be talking about this issue for a while.
I'll settle for REPUBLICANS CHEATED at the top of every article if they don't want to distinguish between the types of fraud.
But that's just me.
