  1. Biden getting the nomination makes Harris his VP pick.  Very happy that we didn't end up with Sanders and the DNC is starting to go away from the fringe.  I can feel much more comfortable voting for Biden/Harris.

    That misses the point on how they flock here the instant there’s any minor news item regarding something positive for Trump or the GOP.  

    I'm guess i'm not here often enough to see it but i'll take your word for it.

    saw something earlier about a cease fire with the Taliban. Funny no one is mentioning that anywhere that I have seen

    Nor have the trolls responded to this.

    What we have ladies and gentleman, are a bunch of idiots and paid trolls infiltrating this board in lame attempts to sow conflict. They hit and then they run. Its all worthless bullshit. Most real trumpkins aren’t on the net much beyond Facebook, if that, and they certainly aren’t posting on surly horns. 

    I think there are 2 options.

    1) Paid Russian trolls that are coordinating to influence the election by posting on the politics section of a Texas Longhorns message board.

    2) Real people with jobs and families that only get on here when work is slow.

    B-t, how would you being exactly what I knew you were “drive me to the asylum?” You’re not scoring any points. You’re not impressing anyone with your Ben Shapiro-esque “logic.” You’re just reinforcing perhaps Bernie’s biggest problem: a lot of people who might like him can’t fucking stand his supporters, and Bernie is tainted by their proximity and assholery.

    It’s not much different from what a lot of folks went through when they looked at libertarians: a candidate would say a few things that sounded reasonable, and maybe merited a look...and then his supporters piped up with “how are you going to stop all the chem trails? And what are your plans for dealing with the alien base under the Denver airport?”

    Sane people don’t walk away from that crowd, they run.

    Keep being you. Just don’t be surprised when your team’s consistent assholery costs you the very thing you won’t compromise on - a Bernie nomination.

    I never had any illusions about changing your mind, even a little bit. It’s the essence of who you are. You won’t temper yourself in any way. But maybe some of your fellow Bernie supporters will see this, and think “holy shit, do I come across that badly?”, and will temper their approach, thus improving Bernie’s appeal to those who interact with them.

    So, maybe you do have some usefulness to Bernie’s campaign: you can serve as a warning to others.

     

    This is an excellent analogy. 

    I have family that is fully onboard supporting Sanders and so I get to see plenty of their social media posts.  I agree with a lot of what they have to say conceptually but trying to have a discussion with them is like chewing on sandpaper.   It's really hard to believe that they share the same values.

    It's a lot more complicated than Sanders would have us believe.

     

    100% agree with this.  In a brokered convention the delegates for Sanders will likely throw a tantrum as we've seen them do repeatedly.

    The problem isn't with posters like BT or Bernie himself.  There are some real bad apples that have attached themselves to the campaign and are extremely active within it.  How many of them are now delegates?  Alot of Sanders supporters felt cheated in 2016 and if they feel cheated again in 2020 they aren't going to go quietly.

    The DNC and many other Democrats understand that Trump and surrogates will run around the country smearing Sanders as a socialist and atheist and Democrats will not have an effective rebuttal that will satisfy the middle of the country nor swing states.

    Is it really a smear though?  He calls himself a Democratic Socialist.  He chose that term.  Whatever you are, own it. 

    Tactically, I do think that keeping Sanders away from the nomination is probably the right move, even if they can't openly come out and say it.  Most moderate Dems (as pointed out by other posters union workers) are not socialists.  When things are going well with jobs and the stock market, it's hard to convince people to make a radical change like that.

    What we'd really hate to see, honestly, is a billionaire Republican using the power and influence he bought with his wealth to overrule something vital to democracy, let's say... oh I'm pulling this out of a hat... the rule that says he can only serve two 4-year terms.

    Wouldn't want that. It's something that ensures that we're a democracy and not a tyrannical monarchy.

    Now to take a BIG 'OLE SIP of soda out of my tiny cup...

    That is alarming

    Yes.  The story should be:

    Bernie wins NH, as everyone expected
    BUT...Pete was very close to an upset (continues to be viable)
    AND... Amy's 3rd place finish with 20% of the vote is extremely viable for her

    BUT ALSO... Warren and Biden are scuffling badly. 

    There will be an opportunity for Warren and Biden to make a comeback but to say this wasn't a disaster for both is an understatement.  Both would need to get some wins before March 3rd to regain some momentum.

  9. It's a huge mistake to make too much of the caucusing of New Hampshire and Iowa.  Those are the two primaries where minorities are pretty much non-existent. 

    Mayor Pete has next to zero minority support.  Sanders also has something to prove due to him losing the minority vote to Clinton. 

    We need to see how these candidates perform in states that actually matter.

    Last night I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process. I shouldn’t have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air. I will address the issue on my show tonight.

    I think it's pretty easy to state your case that Tulsi shouldn't be taken seriously without the "Russian agent" nonsense. 

     

    Tulsi should absolutely be taken seriously because she exposed a significant weakness in the Media's favorite candidate.  If Harris can't handle the heat from Tulsi, she has no business sharing the stage with Trump.  Whoever faces him needs to be able to defend themselves which Harris completely failed to do.  Don't think for a second that one of those exonerated death row inmates Tusli brought up last night wont be one of Trump's special guests during the debates.

    Kamala's National Press Secretary chimes in. Oof.

    Not sure her campaign has the discipline to win this primary. 

     

    This is the reason we have a primary.  If there are issues Harris needs to address, it needs to be done now.  The fact they are essentially ignoring it and point the finger at Russian Bots is not reassuring.  People are so tired of the Russia stuff at this point, their eyes glaze over and ignore the article entirely.  Pushing stuff like this makes them look crazy.

    Damn, Ttom likes her? She must really fucking suck. 

    She's really showing off today why she's the chosen candidate of the Gary Johnson supporters and Russian troll bots. 

    If Tulsi doesn't back off Harris soon, she'll get endorsed by Richard Spencer. 

    The media is going to take Tulsi out just like they did BETO.  They will dig up dirt and if nothing sticks, they will make shit up. 

    Harris has already been chosen as the nominee.  Her opponents would be wise to recognize that if they want the chance to be in her cabinet.

    Yes this is exactly how they had to spin it previously, he's giving information in exchange for a deal. He trafficked children for politicians to get dirt on em. Anyone who helped cover it up or participated should fry.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7224853/Jeffrey-Epstein-indictment-unsealed-Billionaire-forfeit-40MILLION-mansion-ins-ex-case.html

    At one point during the proceedings, Epstein's lawyer Reid Weingarten compared the victims who previously accused his client of sexual assault to sex workers.

    'It is fair to say that a significant segment of the law enforcement community in Florida thought that what we had was simple prostitution,' stated Weingarten. 

     

    All of it is summed up well here, the dude that originally sued for the records to be released is Thernovich.

    I don't care for Cernovich but he did great work here.

    Oh I see the difference.  I’d like to see some evidence that Trump would see the difference.  

    I think you are showing a bit of bias here.  I can laugh at most of the absurd exaggerations/caricatures but you are jumping the shark on this one.

    We know that he knew the difference because he called attention to Epstein liking young girls in the New Yorker magazine interview back in 2002.   Most likely he implied there was something odd about it rather than explicitly stating it so he wouldn't be sued.   We also know that at some point, Epstein propositioned a girl at one of Trump's properties and it resulted in Epstein being banned for life.  I don't think he would have banned him if he was okay with that kind of thing.

    The real story here seems to be that Epstein had blackmail (photos and video) on these guys he was flying to his island for sex parties with underage girls. I don't think it's a coincidence that the DOJ opens this up right after Mueller is done and this is most likely staged political revenge.  It's already public knowledge Bill Clinton was on those Lolita express flights.  That's probably who this is going after.
