I know hindsight is 20/20, but they really shouldn't have skimped on the No Crash package.
Anyway, I have no idea how credible this reporting is, but that should not be legal.
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.
Gross! But I seriously don't see how any of them can get through with the amount of baggage they've accumulated.
Of course it's going nowhere, Donald Jr has all of the baggage as Sr without any of what attracted his followers.
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 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,"
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.
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.
More Pete is good Pete. I'll take him over Beto any day. I really wish the press would fawn over him the way they do for Beto though.
Trump jr did a whole lot of campaigning for his dad in the South, so some there may go for him.
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.

The republican party is fucked and the two party system is fucked so anything can happen.
I think the easier thing is to tie the judiciary *explicitly* to presidential election outcomes. Reduce the number of justices to 7, and every time you win a presidential election, you get to pick a justice. Pocket 28-year term limits. Interim justices are either appointed by the retiring justice (if retiring), or by 4/6 of the remaining justices (in case of sudden death on the bench), but only to serve out the rest of the 28 year term. Sudden death makes the court more moderate and over time the party winning more presidential elections is guaranteed more seats.
RCV probably means extremely heavy on name rec in a primary so i'm not sure how likely that would be.
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.
I recall in their original "exposé", they posted a youtube link Gunn had posted along one of his shitty jokes, but obscured the actual link so you couldn't click it, and added a caption portraying like it was some scummy video of children. What was the video Gunn had posted? A friggin Rick Roll.
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.
Yup, Joaquin's the good one so this is a good get.
GOP's going to drop-kick the Trumps so fast if he loses next year. 72 hours after the election is called he'll be un-personed on Fox News. He doesn't have the real money that would be needed to effectively take over the GOP.
The problem is that Trump exposed where the base is, and so when the plutocrat overlords try to move the GOP on into a post-Trump age it's going to be a hard sell. The base isn't going to want to go back to Romneyism and a lack of enthusiasm will tell.
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.
I 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.
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.
This country is full of fuckin' idiots so Trump Jr winning anything wouldn't surprise me one bit.
True.
But the thought of his candidacy made even my super pessimistic husband chuckle.
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.
America imprisons asylum seekers and forces them to bear children, but doesn't allow those children to become citizens and deports them to dangerous living conditions with unwilling parents.
What the fuck is even the logic behind this, some sort of perverse inverted utilitarian argument where they're seeking to maximize human misery?
A super pac got a hold of this documentation via a foia request, and sent it to maddow. Now anyone can report on it, if they want to.
