  1. (I tried to watch that video again and couldn’t make it through it. It’s so painful.)
  2. This guy: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/12/15/watch_sen_john_kennedy_grills_trump_judicial_nominee_who_admits_he_has_no_trial_experience.html
  3. He quite literally did the opposite. He ran off that retard that Trump nominated for District Court that had never tried a case or even read the rules of civil procedure.
  4. you can go here and actually get the day-by-day information to compare from 2016. https://www.sos.texas.gov/elections/earlyvoting/2016/index.shtml The number of democrats voting in the primary is WAY above where it was in 2016. I'm sure some is attributable to feeling like there wasn't much to vote about in the D primary in 2016, but still, I think this indicates a lot of voter energy on the D side. Biggest counties through Day 7 of the primaries in 2016: County Party Reg Voters # In Person On 2/22/2016 Cumulative In-Person Voters Cumulative % In-Person Cumulative By Mail Voters Cumulative In-Person And Mail Voters Cumulative Percent Early Voting Harris Republican 2,102,820 7,906 40,547 1.93% 14,681 55,228 2.63% Harris Democratic 2,102,820 4,983 28,344 1.35% 10,180 38,524 1.83% Dallas Republican 1,217,771 4,717 27,672 2.27% 3,560 31,232 2.56% Dallas Democratic 1,217,771 4,325 27,318 2.24% 2,400 29,718 2.44% Tarrant Republican 1,019,633 6,969 32,910 3.23% 5,649 38,559 3.78% Tarrant Democratic 1,019,633 3,164 15,430 1.51% 5,190 20,620 2.02% Bexar Republican 977,150 4,446 21,050 2.15% 1,901 22,951 2.35% Bexar Democratic 977,150 3,748 21,554 2.21% 3,938 25,492 2.61% Travis Republican 667,116 2,574 11,002 1.65% 987 11,989 1.80% Travis Democratic 667,116 4,286 21,811 3.27% 3,515 25,326 3.80% Tribune has through day 7 HARRIS: 60.9K D, 58.1K R DALLAS: 39.2K D, 20.3K R TARRANT: 29.5K D, 33.0K R BEXAR: 40.0K D, 23.8K R TRAVIS: 41.5K D, 11.5K D HUGE DEMOCRAT SWINGS. 2020 MINUS 2016 Percent Increase over 2016 2020 MINUS 2016 Percent Increase over 2016 HARRIS (R) HARRIS (D) 2,872 5.20% 22,376 58.08% DALLAS DALLAS -10,932 -35.00% 9,482 31.91% TARRANT TARRANT -5,559 -14.42% 8,880 43.06% BEXAR BEXAR 849 3.70% 14,508 56.91% TRAVIS TRAVIS -489 -4.08% 16,174 63.86%

  7. you're right. we do not believe.
  8. if you haven't put together an organization that can't keep that from happening, that's bad news. if you don't think that reflects on his leadership abilities and what people judge you on for being elected, that's bad news too. if you can't control a room, that's bad news. you need to be able to walk up there and get it under control. if you don't think people judge based on that, that's bad news too. if bernie's organization is as blind as you are to what people look for in a leader, that's real bad news.
  9. literally my first post on it: if Bernie would have taken a few steps forward and said "Folks, I'm going to get up here and speak in 10 minutes, but please give these people your time until then. We've got great things [something something upbeat]!"
  10. also, re: knowing how campaigns work reminds me of something i saw on the faceberks the other day. Parisa Fatehi -- student body president of UT when I was there -- posted one of those "this day in history" things. she introduced obama in '07 when he came to austin and showed pics. you're damn right they vetted her before they let her do that.
  11. i'll admit to flexing in front of the mirror in the mornings, but i'm not sure that suggesting that a major politician should avoid having campaign rallies turn them into weaklings makes me all much of a macho man.
  12. suggestion three: understand you are asking the population to make you the most powerful person in the world, so try not to look like a powerless wallflower.
  13. that's suggestion number two. how about vet some people before giving them the mic.
  14. If you can’t handle a pep rally, it doesn’t inspire confidence. If you want actual suggestions, start with taking the one unifying voice there and have him step to the mic and ask for unity and to listen to message. But that’s probably just my inner tough guy talking.
  15. i'd suggest you read the dissent. it is explicitly in terms of the law. she compares the threshold for showing imminent harm varies based on the appellant, and suggests that the standards are not applied consistently.
  16. that is embarrassing. and a nightmare if we are trying to get that guy elected.
  17. a good excuse for me to express my biggest beef with political commentary these days. what you are trying to do is establish a test, and then apply the test to the facts. that isn't allowed in today's analysis. all that matters is if you can analogize to something someone of the other political party did. in non-snarky terms: this is my biggest beef of the last 12 months or so. so much undisciplined thought. should trump be impeached? well, if you'll remember, president [x] also asked country [y] for [z], and he wasn't impeached. therefore, no. it's never: well, it says we should if he committed treason, bribery, HC&M. did he commit any of those?
  18. Kennedy is on the front lines of some good stuff, which makes it weird he is such a Trumpist.
  19. 1.5-2% of people getting flu die, huh. 1 out of 50ish. hollywood upstairs medical college, imo.
  20. i'm fairly certain writing a dissent and giving the reasons why are within her job description.
  21. you're already a burden to everyone on this board.
  22. cringe. i asked my 80 year old mom what she thought about trump and she z-snapped and said "bubby didn't raise no dummy. sista sista gonna clap clap dat 2 ton sunagun on da run." ended with another z snap and a hair toss as she walked away. everyone clapped.
  23. Also, lulz at those "propositions" we were voting on. I voted on the first few, but one too many "should people have access to clean water or should we poison everyone" and "do you support banning jabbing ice picks through puppies eyes" that I just skipped them.
  24. Fine assholes. Yo vote’. My ballot was hilarious as I did the review. I realized it was almost all women.
  25. The prosecution's case is outlandish! Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, tell me, is this the face of a Trump supporter?
