  1. Cruz, in an interview with Fox 26 Houston that aired on Sunday, said O’Rourke and other Democrats were too “quick to always blame the police officer.” 

    “I don’t think we should jump to any conclusions,” the senator said. “It may have been just a horrific misunderstanding.” 



    Is that shit really going to appeal to people? Misunderstanding? This guy needs to go.
  2. Don't pharma, sales reps, and docs fall under the FDA?
    More misleading attacks from Cruz. I voted for funding for A. Beto voted against funding for B. Therefore, Beto is against funding A.

    Any guesses on quinnipac poll tomorrow? I'll go with 2 point lead, 47-45.
  3. I think we all know where this will end up in terms of arguments from both sides.  And the gop will ask the question that isn’t it possible that an accuser can make up a story 30 years later because they don’t want someone confirmed?  And the answer is yes that is a possibility.   
    Since scotus is a lifetime appointment, I don’t know if they should get anything close to a standard of reasonable doubt.  
      
    She's playing the long game to plant the story with her therapist 6 years ago. Maybe went with the broad DC elite instead of naming him just in case she needed to tank a judicial confirmation or political campaign some time down the road? Cause what California professor doesn't think about those things when going through marriage counseling?

    Being called a liar has a way of emboldening people. Good for her.

    Kavanaugh and friend likely knew what they did and have explained it to themselves as a youthful drunken indiscretion that they're justified in lying about. Based on Kavanaugh's hearing, he's a shitty liar. Call him back and make him respond to questions about this. The truth will be apparent.
  5. I don't think this case is a political windfall for the Democrats; you could just as easily argue that this underscores the need for GOP voters to show up, else Trump will never get anybody confirmed to the Supreme Court again.
    Agree with this. Probably best thing for Democrats is that they vote him through, rape be damned. I don't think that will happen. But who knows maybe Dem voters will get that the Supreme Court matters now.
  6. If they confirm him, it puts the Senate in the bag for Democrats. Every GOP senator that votes for him will have to defend voting for an attempted? rapist. Dems in red states now have cover to vote no. He's no longer a bipartisan nominee. Shifting the balance of the Supreme Court might be worth it but that's the calculation and McConnell knows it. My bet is they let him withdraw and use the Supreme Court to bring home/out the base like they did with Trump. Hope to retain the Senate and get a second shot at it.

  7. This is a friend of my mom's whose Facebook timeline is a constant stream of pro Cruz/anti Beto proapganda.

    I think she believes every word of it. I just hope there aren't enough of her to win an election in Texas.

  8. I'm pumped about these debates. Cruz's weaselly persona will be amplified standing next to and debating with Beto. I don't see undecideds opting for Cruz after these debates are over. 
    And can some actually provide some video of Cruz being a good debater as a politician? I don't give a fuck what debating awards he won while at Harvard.  He's an unlikeable tub of lard. Literally no one in Washington likes him. Why would voters be charmed?
    Will be interesting. Beto will stick to his all positive, all Texan message. Cruz will be on the attack liberal this, liberal that, Beto wants to shoot up your unborn child with heroin. I don't see any way it's a net positive for Cruz.
  9. O

    What are you talking about?  It's already happened.  Lt Dan went to the White House groveling for help from POTUS a couple months ago.
    He's saying Cruz is desperate cause he went grovelling to POTUS.
  10. So when us too late to donate? Been spending a lot on travel but could spare a few bucks come October. I guess I’m asking, when will my humble contribution do the most good for Beto? Now? Month out? Week of election? Thanks in advance... as to debate style, not sure on beto’s best tactic. Agree going negative would be trashing his positive/policy focus only stance but also think the above poster is right and Cruz crumbles against a bully. Hope I can watch from out of state
    I imagine right up until election day. Next reporting deadline is Sept 30 if you can spare something before then.
  11. This is something I've always wondered about.  Sure the "polls" show his approval rating or whatever at like 75%, but what do the Russian people really feel like?  Do they just accept that they have been conquered and are trying to live their lives?  Or is there a faction that is building against him and the Kremlin?  Maybe a stupid question, but I honestly have no idea.
    Poll numbers stay high when you kill people that disapprove of you.
  12. I don't have time to dig it up but I remember Hugo posting on Shaggy Seth Abramson tweets on how this investigation is like taking down the mom and how it would play out starting with lower level players and working it's way up with successive flipping. That's what we re seeing and there's not much farther to go up. I think it's clear now the President is the target here.

  13. There had been speculation that nothing big would happen before the election. But if Mueller did have proof of collusion--and if it happened, he has it now--he would feel an obligation to the American people to come forward with it so we can consider it in voting. Hold on to your butts.
