Are you nervous at all about Gillum getting less votes than Nelson? That shit pissed me off so bad and made me nervous about PoC in a general election.
tbh, I think it is the Franken. She took a stand at a point where she didn't need to and now a bunch of people hate her for it. It'd only make sense than people would also find it empowering.
My dream ticket is still Warren/Castro. I think they both have strengths that compliment each other well.
On top of my other issues with Harris, I just get a lot of vagueness from her and what she stands for, idk. I feel like she lacks direction. Anyone else feel that way about her campaign?

Give her time. She just basically introduced herself to the country last debate.
Biden/Harris.
At no point has that not been the strongest ticket for months and continue to be.

In theory but what on earth makes you think
Harris would ever attach herself to Biden at this point.
I'm still Warren first and foremost. The president drives the party's policies, and she's got the best policies. Having a president who cares about that stuff is really important if you want it to happen.
You're right about her having the best policies, but the key phrase there is "having a president." She has to become president first! And I don't think she's as strong as Harris in the general.
Warren scares the hell out of me and I think her proposed policy of decriminalization for illegal border crossings will kill her in the GE because we live in a shit world.
I'll be curious to see where Biden stands a month from now.
As it stands, I still see no gathering enthusiasm for him in areas where I'm starting to see it for other candidates.
Biden on top of the ticket seems like a huge liability to me at this point.

Oh, I don't know.
I'm not saying he'll win. It's definitely unlikely. I just don't understand the shot-calling in *July*.
Well, yes, but I'm more worried about neither Gillum nor Nelson matching Hillary's performance in Miami-Dade. If they had, they'd both be in office now, Panhandle Nazis or no. Hillary and Gillum/Nelson actually had opposite problems: she cleaned up in base areas like Miami-Dade but lost the swing counties. They lagged her in Miami but won the swingy counties (Pinellas, Duval). Failing to match her Hispanic margins is the bigger problem, though.
I guess I'm saying that I wish people weren't racist shitheels and that candidates of color didn't have to contend with the hate. However, we should focus on fixing the things we can actually fix. Engaging and increasing Hispanic turnout is one of those things.

He can unite the nation.
This pic is not a good idea, imo...! Taken after a town hall in Steve King's district.
Harris has no glaring weaknesses, I think she has the most potential to unite the various bases of the party. And Beto is the ultimate hype man, he would bring a lot of energy and passion to the ticket.
It's not access for us, it's access for Trump, to spread his latest lies. He dodges the questions and dashes into the helicopter any time he feels pressured, and the Press Sec daily briefings are a thing of the past. Sadly the WH press core doesn't push back on this because then they might lose their place. Remember when Obama would show up for over an hour to take questions?
There's been one debate. I don't see how anyone makes this kind of proclamation at this point.
Looks like CBS News? Or at least CBS News was polling similarly.
I'm sure there's a more obvious way to figure it out.
Yeah, on the 31st.
For once my area of OK lucked out. We're topping out at 101-102 this weekend. The average high around now is 99, so only a few degrees higher than normal.
Yes, it's still early, and my own personal opinions are just that, but I think people that have been paying attention at least know enough to draw some conclusions and separate the wheat from the chaff.
It's storming in Minneapolis right now.
So glad we picked today to shoot a commercial.
Yeah she went hard on Biden but they're rivals in a primary, not bitter enemies.
Biden said Obama straight-up was not ready to be president and that his candidacy was a fairy tale, didn't stop Obama from picking him or Biden from accepting.

Because being Vice President is a really sweet gig?

I don't see why anyone would want Beto for VP after his performance but Obama did get 2+-time loser to be his running mate as well so

Those onlookers wearing his pin seem pleased.
I think there's real animosity there. They're not arguing about economic policy she's laying into him about being a racist.
Seems symbolic of Florida as a whole.
And there would be a movie made about it.
Obama also flubbed his first debates, but in the here and now, I agree.
Biden's crushing of Ryan in 2012 absolutely mattered after Romney kind of beat up on Obama in their first debate.
It would be two hours of both of them closing their eyes and softly chuckling before saying "of course not"
Just noticed the dude in the green shirt. LOL
Today is a high of 100 with a heat index of up to 109. Tomorrow it's 99 with a HI of 107.
This is unheard of here.
Thankfully it'll be in the 80s most of the rest of the week, with Tuesday being in the 70s.
It's killing me even with AC; I guess because I'm not used to it.
With a dash of "hey I'm giving you money not because I agree with your politics but because I want to keep the first gay guy in the race and visible for as long as possible", which I totally get.

Lol green shirt dude is avatar worthy. Blue shirt lady too.
I said somewhere last night that I understand strategizing and fretting but that we also shouldn't overthink things. In PA and MI, we would've won if turnout in Philly/PGH and Detroit, respectively, had just stayed at 2012 levels. Trump's ~~~rural surge~~~ wouldn't have mattered. We can win those states literally just by mobilizing the base and turning out more Democratic voters in those diverse blue cities. If we improve on Hillary's margins in the suburbs, that's a bonus and gives us more wiggle room.
The same principle applies to WI and Milwaukee, although we might need a little more persuasion in WI.

Yeah it's not bad out now. Was definitely looking perilous there for a few hours though.
That, too. It swung the election, no one can deny. But I guess I'd respond that if turnout in the blue cities had stayed at 2012 levels, it wouldn't have mattered anyway, at least in PA and MI. She would've won them narrowly.
I mean, in absolute numbers he collected as much money from women as Harris.
