I honestly didn't know who he was until the birther crap, so it's doubly weird going back to old movies and TV shows and seeing references to him. The Critic knocks him at least once per episode.

I can't (I can) believe that SNL let that vile cunt host...in fucking late 2015, well after his "mexicans are rapist" escalator ride.
Could be any number of reasons why he isn't revealing them. Most likely scenario is that the numbers are okay but not as good as Bernie. No point in revealing them in that case.
Sure there's a point. I don't expect him to beat Bernie, who has 123,456,789,012 previous donors to draw on. But he could show that he's ahead of any of the other candidates that released first-day totals. Did he not beat Harris or Warren either?
If there is anything we must do as soon as possible it's how politicians raise money and how this entire system works
Seeing Beto and Kamala and others back off of M4A when their having problems with fundraising. Gillibrand going to big pharma...
Warren just kicking around because she knows she's cooked and it doesn't matter anyway...
But really it's scary.
Nothing good will change until we do something about this. Not just healthcare, climate change, education... literally anything..
And seriously Like no politicians like raising money. They all actively hate it. It's degrading and embarrassing. They all know this. So it would be doing everyone a favor

All these candidates cornered themselves here. I'm not sure if they had a choice to begin with though.
Public financing of elections was part of the HR1 iirc, hopefully that's the first bill the Dem President passes.
They did not have a choice
No one would be able to raise like Hillary did last cycle especially in a crowded field like this one. The democratic base is too hyper aware of it now.
The good news is I think money problems overall will fix themselves when the nomination is clear atleast from a competitive stand point
I'm now wondering what Biden thinks right now - he probably won't get grassroots support to the point where he can be competitive, and taking CPAC money is a death sentence on your campaign.
He's getting plenty of press without providing 'proof' of support, so might as well sit on it.
Trump is going to the Lima tank plant next week.
We are totally getting a Dukakis-esque photo out of it. No way he doesn't demand to ride around in a tank while he's there.

Biden'll take all that PAC money. I don't think he gives a fuck.
I think he even said the reason for the announcement delay is they are figuring out funding
julian was the one aspiring to the presidency. Joaquin is one who doesn't think he's too cool for congress.
You're goddamn right
The President is an idiot child and 40% of the country approves.
Thanks. What sort of monsters gives their twins names that begin and end with the same letters?
Terrific news.
If Beto ends up on the ticket, they could help each other out immensely. Beto can keep the energy from his last Senate campaign going while Castro can focus on boosting Latino turnout and performance.
Say what you will about Cornyn, but he voted with Trump on the emergency declaration. A good campaign can make him just as much of a pariah as Cruz.

An attack on people as they pray peacefully, however they worship and wherever they are, is an attack on us all. May every New Zealander and every Muslim hurting today feel lifted up in love and solidarity.
And yet again, the obvious bears repeating: white nationalism kills.

He's really not.
This whole thing is him breaking out onto the national stage. He won't make it to the White House, but he's moving up in the party for sure.
But, like, where does he go without carpetbagging? Governor and Senator are out of the question, leaving only a House seat and I don't know the partisan lean of the district he would have to run in.
I could easily see him being picked for a cabinet position. Actually makes me wonder if he might be a great Chief of Staff.
Other ways to make it to the White House besides the presidency.
I like how Cornyn is referred to like he's a generic candidate.
Indiana 2nd, R+11
Jackie Walorski is the current representative, and it was Donnelly's seat before. She won by 9 points last year.
-Mayor Pete is so damn good at this. I maintain what I said before: he is another AOC. Not much experience but SO damn good at this. Like he was fucking born with it. He's going places even if he gets nowhere in this race. Cabinet position, please.
-Yassssssss Joaquin
What the fuck
-Yassssssss Joaquin
That's cuz he is.
What the fuck
So basically Pete would only have a chance in a wave year, and that's just a chance.
Or he could just do the Julian Castro thing and do Mayor->HUD Secretary.
He's doing a great job of staying off my list of top primary picks.
Yeah i'm from south bend, that's my home district. It used to be competitive, but gerrymandering ended that. It's actually funny, the gerrymander is why Donnelly took the suicide mission of challenging Lugar in 2012, only for Lugar to lose a tea party primary to a guy who said fucki shit about rape lol.
I honestly didn't know there was a twin until about a month ago.
I wonder which one is the evil twin.
