    Have you eaten Mexican food in, say, Colorado or Iowa or Virginia?

    Nothing wrong with Colorado Mexican food. Try Washington.

    Colorado's okay if you don't mind green chile smothered all over everything. Which is fucked, and which is why Colorado Mexican food can get fucked.

    (Trump says 90 seconds of crazy borderline unintelligible hateful bullshit)

    Biden: "Man, I know you're all sick of that. I sure am. Next question please."

    That's exactly what he needs to do.

    I've been thinking that the Biden camp should release a Trump Bingo card right before the debate so that people listening to Trump can click off his bullshit. Insults? B-2.  Blame China? N-4.  Racism? O-5.  And so on -- derogatory names, "Jina," narcissism, stupid facial expression, etc. "Drinking water with two hands" could be the center square, already filled. And then at some point Biden just chuckles to himself, looks in the camera, and says "Bingo!"

    I agree that an incumbent Dem in Colorado is safe, but the state as a whole is still pretty purple. Blue urban areas surrounded by lots and lots of red. But definitely tending bluer with more urban citizens, more transplants, and a younger population. 

    It's pretty much one blue urban area that everyone lives in. The thing about western states is no one lives in those rural red counties. Mathematically you cannot get wrecked in Denver and win the state the way you can lose the big cities here in TX. It's same reason the GOP doesn't compete in Washington or Oregon. Those are the comps for CO at this point. Colorado has gone down that path, Nevada is next, Arizona after that.

    I'm not in significant disagreement with you, but 1 of the 2 Colorado US senators is Republican and 3 out of 7 US representatives are Republican. So it's not like it's a Democratic bastion at this point in time. Certainly moving that way, though, and agreed that CO has a lot in common demographically with other western states (aside from CA and AZ). It won't be long before it's a foregone conclusion like Oregon and Washington.

    And they can't seem to run their standard playbook of fear.  All their old hits are just hollow as fuck.  And people are just worn out and ready for an adult in the driver's seat.

    Totally agree. His standard retreads aren't getting him much mileage anymore. Most people see those tropes (the wall, heritage, derogatory nicknames for opponents) as campaign lies. But like you, I'm sure they'll pivot to something that stirs up the passions in his base. Still don't think it will amount to much in November, though, because it won't resonate with any new voters.

    2006 would be the last time that happened. Gardner squeaked by in a very GOP-friendly midterm. He's going to lose bigly to a candidate in Hickenlooper thay appears not very interested in winning.

    The Cook Political Reports of the world are really behind on how safety Democratic Colorado is now. 45-46 percent is an extremely good showing for a statewide Republican at this point. Trump will not even get that high. Eight years of getting more Democratic since the last narrow GOP win. They just don't have the votes there anymore. Not to take down an incumbent.

    I agree that an incumbent Dem in Colorado is safe, but the state as a whole is still pretty purple. Blue urban areas surrounded by lots and lots of red. But definitely tending bluer with more urban citizens, more transplants, and a younger population.

    Man that guy looks like an exhausted, whipped loser who wants to cry himself to sleep. This is what psychologists call the "narcissistic bruise," but in actuality it looks like the "narcissistic ass whipping."

    It's either somebody trolled his ass hard or they were flat lying about the million+ reservation requests for tickets. Which with this clown show anything can be true

    There was no ceiling on tickets, so no reason except for apathy that the arena wasn't full. Could've been 900,000 bogus ticket requests but Trumpers could've reserved 100,000 or more in spite of it. They didn't. 

  8. For the last time, NO. I will not fill in for John Bohnam on drums. If Led Zeppelin wants to reunite, they'll have to do it without me.

    I also want to just preemptively announce that I will not play quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers and will not polygamously marry Kate Beckinsale and Megan Fox. Just wanted to get that out there to avoid any rumors or distractions. 

  9. These latest ads are pathetic. Who are they trying to appeal to? His base? Like they could give a shit about racial harmony. Everyone else sees right through this saccharine syrupy garbage.

    Clearly, they don't.  Over and over we are seeing incredibly ill-advised behavior playing out in front of us, and it's not as if nobody can see the cameras, as if a few n'er do wells were wearing secret X-ray Spex sunglasses.  I mean, those people have their fucking cell phones out and they are taking video of you doing whatever you're doing.  It's unreal.

    It makes parenting easier, at least as a practical matter.  "Hey, you COULD be a dipshit and do something stupid, but guess what?  EVERYTHING is on video now.  Think about that."

    EXACTLY the conversation I just had with my kid.

    I’ll add the lack of adequately funded mental health services with the saturation of firearms in our society as another contributing factor. Disarming would have been preferred for sure. Sending in an unarmed counselor would have furthered that goal, but what level of risk would that person be taking. 

    A lot of risk, but no on e is suggesting that. Progressive policing involves co-responders or emergency back up mental health / substance abuse assistance (not to mention CIT training that puts officers through 40 hours of dedicated training on dealing with mental health and substance abuse calls). It's very unlikely any department would just send out an unarmed counselor, but one possibility includes sending out a counselor along with with armed police, so that all bases are covered. The biggest difference, though, is the attitude and approach of the police. They must be armed and ready to protect themselves and others as necessary, but they shouldn't go in battalion-style looking for a firefight. They should go in (on a call like this) to see what assistance is possible for the guy. You know, help him.

    Given your avatar, if this happens I hope you're there to take the mic and say "Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?!?!"

    hot take: Ingram will be running 3rd on the depth chart come season's end

    Which is nuts when you think about it. I know this board gives him a hard time, but he's a really good back and to have him third (if that indeed happens) is a testament to the stable we've built. 

  14. But during his 2015 campaign his doctor said "Donald Trump has "extraordinary" stamina and physical strength and would be the healthiest person ever elected president."
