I was about to say the same damn thing.Pete's everything I want Beto to be. Beto just has more star power.
Fucking Christ, at least let it be Ivanka. I'd even take Eric!
He can just carpetbag. NY doesn't give a shit!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.
Beto doesn't have a position on Brexit?? Calves rapidly uncramping.
* A guy that is this malleable has a good chance to win the presidency. We just don't know what we'll get afterward.
Joaquin > JulianI have yet to separate the Castro twins in my mind in any meaningful way

Ok thanks I'll start with this lol

Perhaps I'm being too optimistic but this is going to go nowhere.

PoliERA and Politwitter love Mayor Pete. No one else knows who he is. If he's able to get more general recognition (such as in the debates), he could be more formidable.I don't know about malleable, maybe just not prepared. I don't think he had any intention of running for President during the Senate campaign and I think he really believed he could beat Ted Cruz. So I think he just hasn't yet fully formed his positions on the slew of national issues or internationals issues.
I'm not saying that's a good thing. But I get the vibe, he doesn't really want to run for President and he would have preferred to be a Texas Senator. Whereas Mayor Pete was clearly planning to run for President for many many months before anyone in the national media even knew his name. So he's prepared on the issues and he does have that "it" factor. Mayor Booty is still my number one choice but I am concerned that he hasn't cracked even in 1% in any of the polls or straw polls. Other no-name people hickledooper or whatever is ranking higher despite Buttigieg doing national media for the past 2 months. Everybody says they like Booty but it's not showing up in the polls thus far and that's a bit concerning to me. I hope he's not facing an unspoken negative bias because he's gay similar to what black politicians have to face.
I doubt you'll get a solid condemnation or answer from any candidate past what Bernie's and Hillary said on it last time around.

That's a better answer than "I have no opinion."I doubt you'll get a solid condemnation or answer from any candidate past what Bernie's and Hillary said on it last time around.
"I'll let the people of the U.K. make that decision,"
Yeah. I feel if Don Jr. ran, everyone's question would be asking why it isn't Ivanka. Even Trump only ever seems to praise her while barely ever mentioning his other kids.Trump is bad at almost everything, but he's a good carny and knows how to work a room full of rubes. Trump Jr., however, completely lacks charisma, even his father's revolting, lowbrow, dumb-shit-for-dumb-fucks version. There's a reason why nobody knew the first thing about him until his father ran for president.

As expected, EPA SIGNIFICANTLY scales back Obama-era plan to ban most uses of a very toxic paint stripper called Methylene Chloride, which has killed dozens of people. Decides only to ban consumer sales, via retail and online. Will still allow commercial uses by contractors.
FYI, most deaths attributed to the use of Methylene Chloride have been via use by contractors/commercial users. This rule will not stop that.
I don't think Republican primary voters would be asking that. They'd go for the raging hate that Jr delivers over Ivanka's pseudo-sophisticated blandness.Yeah.

The republican party is fucked and the two party system is fucked so anything can happen.Perhaps I'm being too optimistic but this is going to go nowhere.
Glad I could help :D

I would assume something like that would just be a way of selling it to the public without opening oneself up to accusations of blatant partisanship, while also avoiding setting a shitty precedent.
Like sure, the next Dem president could just add two justices. But then there's nothing stopping the next GOP president from adding two more once they assume power, and then just continually one-upping one another.
I'm of the mind that court reform should be more about divorcing the judiciary from the executive branch. "Gotta vote the party so we win SCOTUS" is a pretty lousy spot to be in.
That being said, you're probably right that a scheme like this would need a Constitutional amendment to work, and I don't know how you'd account for third parties. I certainly wouldn't expect it to just say flat out "Democrats get 5, Republicans get 5" because either party could easily die off.
RCV probably means extremely heavy on name rec in a primary so i'm not sure how likely that would be.Also hot take - Pete would win with a sizable margin in a ranked choice primary election.
He doesn't believe a word of it. At no point did he ever think Gunn wasn't just making edgy jokes. It's always been a deliberate fake narrative, pretending to take them literally.If Cernovich is actually worried that children are in any sort of danger from James Gunn being reinstated, then he is a fucking idiot. In fact, I'm pretty damn certain he doesn't actually believe that and that he is just being disingenuous to own the libs.
Wait, you pretty much said as much yourself. Oh well.
A charisma-free douche son with nothing to his name, not even fake accomplishments and fame like Trump had, carrying all the baggage of his crook father (and his own participation)? No, it's delusion.Perhaps I'm being too optimistic but this is going to go nowhere.
julian was the one aspiring to the presidency. Joaquin is one who doesn't think he's too cool for congress.
Trump does have a weird magnetic charisma that none of his kids have at all. It's hard to see any of them doing anything, but the GOP might anoint them simply for coming from his seed for all we know.
Eh. I think he could still beat other Republican primary contenders, but I don't think Trumpism will be a good general election strategy in the future. Even Trump won more based on Hillary getting slandered rather than on Trump himself.A charisma-free douche son with nothing to his name, not even fake accomplishments and fame like Trump had, carrying all the baggage of his crook father (and his own participation)?

Trump had massive built-in advantages that his children don't have. Don Jr is just a slimy moron no one likes, including his own father. I don't see him winning even a primary.Eh.

Duck Dynasty guy could make some noiseI have to wonder if the next presidential primary for the GOP is an inverse of 2016 where there are too many candidates trying to be the next Trump that split the vote and allow the donor class-backed candidate claim a plurality.
True.This country is full of fuckin' idiots so Trump Jr winning anything wouldn't surprise me one bit.
This maddow show...trump admin tracked individual girls' pregnancies of asylum seekers and detainees, including how far along and whether it was consensual, assault, etc. And whether abortion was requested.
Rachael Got them recipts Y'all. Trumps disgusting government is tracking girls so they can get rid of them so they don't have to be citizens and also block them from getting Abortions.
