winter is coming

Uh-huh.  And next week, there will be three different polls contradicting this one.

WTF?  They’ve been saying all along that they’d split over two nights if there were more than 10 candidates.  They should have done two nights for the September debate, even if it was only 10 people.

Maybe that’s why Cuomo wants to move the primary up… so that if Bernie wins it, he won’t get the delegates he should.

I read this as Warren looking for something to boost her against Sanders, i.e., she’s not rising against him in the way she’d hoped.  She’s looking for a lifeline, but may have just grabbed an anchor instead.  So sad…

I saw this on reddit and thought it was right on the money:

Okay, I’m going to don my fetching Reynolds Wrap chapeau and said that “they” need to get Biden out of the race and elevate Warren before the end of this quarter and possibly even before the next debate because she’s not doing as well as the media would like us to believe.  Pushing Joe out would mean a raft of media stories along the lines of…[Read more]

I’m all for boosting voter protections but the cynic in me wonders if this is really intended to boost Abrams.  I’m seeing a lot of messaging in the wild along the lines of “Bernie needs to pick someone moderate to balance the ticket” to bring in votes even though I don’t recall the “moderates” ever thought it was necessary to balance the ticket…[Read more]

22,000 years of weirdness sounds like one hell of a primary season!

I guess those people who were “fired unfairly” could find an unpaid internship with Warren or Biden… unless they’re already on their payrolls.

I guess CBC stands for Congressional Black Corporatists now.

Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch.  The chance that I will ever vote for Warren just changed from “slim” to “none”.

More like “lead” health care… outdated and hazardous to health.

LOL, that’s Bernie-speak for, “Bitch, please.”

July 30 and 31 in Detroit.

I’ve been seeing a lot of deflection from the possibility that Clinton was involved.  So much, in fact, that I’ve started to wonder if there’s astroturf supposedly on both sides of that controversy heating it up so people won’t start speculating about which other Dems could be named.  I’m looking at you, Gropey Joe.

This is going to be fun. 

I almost didn’t open this thread because I was afraid it would have pictures of Falwell. 

Please proceed.

How can anyone claim her “one-time bump has lingered”?  It’s only been a week since the debate.

Fourth in 2Q fundraising.  Fourth in her home state, the last time I saw a poll.

And Sanders is the one who’s in trouble??  

Know whose fundraising numbers we haven’t seen yet?  Harris’ and Warren’s.  I’m guessing they’re weak, and will be released tomorrow while the news is all about Trump and the earthquake in California.
