I'm not doing this, but his wife did their taxes herself, and any problems with them will reflect on her, so he's soft-pedaling it? She might be putting him off and he doesn't want to stand up to her? Maybe they're having a real accountant go over them? I think he doesn't want to do it because he's wealthy and it will make him look hypocritical.
I vote for this title tbhOh shit, it is time for OT3.
I really can't think of anything.
US PoliERA 2019 |OT3| Yang Gangs, Kamala Cabals, Bernie Bros, and Buttigieg Buddies
Isn't great and terrible kinda our naming convention?
The continuing resolution version of an OT.
OT 0.2
LMAO fucking wow
Every answer I hear about from this town hall gets more and more absurd. Like he thinks he's just going to be coronated.
Is that some stupid Kingdom Hearts shit?
That is definitely an overestimation of the skill level of the parties involved.But whatever the reason is, "Mrs. Bernie is still making them look nice" is absurd. And he must know this is going to boil over. Maybe it's a super convoluted, matrixed, long=game three year plan to make anyone who doubted him look foolish.
Have you seen Warren's answers on the same questions? I almost feel like she'll outclass him at the debate stage.I don't think he's ever really been that interested in getting better at talking off message so I wouldn't expect much movement there. Getting outwardly annoyed when he has to engage with what he sees as distractions from his message is just part of who he is.
edit: I'm talking more generally -- he may develop better messaging on this particular issue because it ties in with his messaging, but in general I think we can expect more outwardly annoyed Bernie and that's never going away. And yeah, to some, that's part of his charm -- the less polished, less focus tested answers can feel more authentic.
Kashmir skirmish is fucking terrifying in the era where Trump is the head of foreign policy and the possibly key in de-escalations.
The latter.Should I be having panic attacks about India and Pakistan, or should I just look away from ERA for a bit and distract myself?

"The left eats itself" is a popular phrase and in this case, Bernie ate himself. He greatly shifted the window in regard to what dem voters can expect candidates to advocate for and commit to. People sort of marveled at him in 2015 for going up against 90's triangulation type policies and saying things that a lot of voters had clearly wanted to hear for a long time, but fast forward three years and now voters are like "Yeah, but how about reparations?"Bernie was fucking terrible tonight. Whatever he may have had in 2016 he has no longer. Almost embarassing to watch.

I totally expected a cranky septuagenarian accustomed to appealing to a lily-white electorate to grow and improve.
I'm sorry only legitimate candidates with a chance at being President, like Howard Schultz, get townhalls.Is Mayor Pete gonna get a townhall?
I want Mayor Pete to get a townhall.

I'd be all about this. It doesn't make much sense to me for some candidates to get the opportunity and not others, especially since minor candidates like Klobuchar have been given the opportunity. If CNN is going to host the 2nd debate in July, then I think as a matter of fairness every candidate who will be at the debate should have an opportunity to do a CNN town hall beforehand.Is Mayor Pete gonna get a townhall?
