She'd only do that if her internals looked dire. And in that case she'd probably just retire because that would get her ass dog-walked in a primary. A LePager would take her scalp.
But you'd all hear me cackling.
A cackle heard across the world.

You know, seeing Mr Hickenlooper on the campaign trail... I'd be okay if he didn't run for Senate. Not pushing for any kind of Health Care reform?
Go home old man.

"We want to see Sanders make a statement of full equality for all species to reflect the true progressive values he claims he stands for," said Aidan Cook, one of five protesters to jump a barricade and approach the stage where Sanders was delivering his speech.
What is the guy on the left doing

He's holding a collapsible baton. Since the idiot was in custody, he was probably hitting it on the ground to collapse it back.
I'm going to be that guy...
Hell, I'm not convinced that a worse candidate couldn't win Colorado.A better candidate can win Colorado. It's not like Bullock who we actually need to have a shot at Montana.

They're under audit and can't be released right now.Does anyone actually know how many donations Gillibrand has so far?
I chuckled.
The Al Franken thing, while absolutely the right thing to do, really seems to have sunk any chance she had.They're under audit and can't be released right now.
Speaking of, the comments on her tweet asking for donations are ... not nice. Poor Gilli. :(
This is the hang-up of Gillibrand's campaign. Never has the Democratic electorate been more exercised by issues of identity, and never has gender been more central to the national conversation—politically, culturally, socioeconomically and otherwise. And yet Gillibrand, despite having very little to lose at this point, remains cautious in interviews and on the stump—aiming for broad appeal instead of a niche brand, trying to draw in support from every cell of the party rather than cultivating a base and building out.
At every stop in New Hampshire, the senator was careful to modulate her answers and her tone in ways that would render her universally acceptable. She talks of how she dominated the blue boroughs of New York City—but also how she carried the state's red, rural counties. She believes Trump is a "coward"—but she wants to calm the vitriolic nature of our politics. Gillibrand didn't shy away from a single proposal—whether it was expanding the Supreme Court, increasing funding for indigenous groups or signing a breast cancer-related pledge—that voters asked her about.
Yet when it came to addressing the gender bias she believes is inherent to politics—a belief shared by many younger progressive women, a sizable chunk of the Democratic coalition—Gillibrand held back. Had her off-the-record answer been published, it would have gone viral overnight, racking up hundreds of thousands of clicks and instantly erasing any concerns about her small-donor disparity. But Gillibrand chose to be careful. Having won in a red district, having persuaded older, whiter, Republican audiences to support her in the past, she believes she can do so again.
This is the paradox of Gillibrand's candidacy. She believes, as do many of her Democratic rivals, that voters want "electability" in a nominee—someone who above all else will defeat Trump in 2020. And she does have a case to make in that regard: As a former upstate congresswoman, she does have a feel for the nonideological challenges facing rural and poor America. And at her core, layers beneath the questions about her political evolution, she is inherently relatable, someone who quotes Scripture as easily as she sips a beer or rocks a baby.
But Gillibrand's emphasis on long-term electability may be coming at the expense of her short-term viability. She has chosen not to pursue with reckless abandon the demographic that should be her core constituency in the primary—women—believing it would limit her appeal to other portions of the electorate.
she's said some dumb civility shit more recently tooThe Al Franken thing, while absolutely the right thing to do, really seems to have sunk any chance she had.
She took out Franken, now she can do the right thing and take out Biden :PThe Al Franken thing, while absolutely the right thing to do, really seems to have sunk any chance she had.

Lols why would tyt be any different from other news outlets? It's not like NYT or MSNBC are paragons of virtue. Unless your one of those people who thinks TYT is the fox News of the left.You may, once again be surprised to find out, that Sanders does not want to ditch the filibuster, meaning his agenda would be limited to annual limited by rules bills. Even if you get all Democrats to vote for something, you won't reach 60 regardless of how well the elections go next year.
Who knows at this point.
Speaks volumes of the poster posting TYT stuff though.
Jacobin should be the last paper to ask Dem candidates to go to Fox News. That's why Nate is criticizing them. Not that there isn't an argument for it (and evidence has shown that Bernie has benefitted for it), but for that paper to criticize Dem candidates for now going to the obviously antagonistic news organization is hypocritical at best. That and Warren is probably the worst possible candidate to do so.
Should you play a game that is designed for you to lose? Perhaps. If you're so good that you can win it anyway, it might be worth a shot.
Notice the same thing on her FB ads. Sad really. :/They're under audit and can't be released right now.

Several well-known modelers and pollsters are predicting a Trump re-election at this point. Starting to wonder whether that would be for the better seeing as Dems stand an excellent chance at retaking the Senate in 2022 with a significant majority if Trump is re-elected and he would be largely ineffective without any power in Congress.
If Dems do win the WH in 2020, but without the Senate (let's be real, it's looking really likely at this point), the Dem President would still be stonewalled by the GOP.
I wish it wasn't like this, but Climate and Healthcare reform seem to be far out of scope at this point in time.
If Trump isn't ousted in 2020, the supreme court is beyond fucked. That's really not an option.
