  1. Crazy that the prosecutor is on trial before Trump
  2. Y’all, this must be devastating for Trump, especially on Valentine’s Day.
  3. It has been so bad it really calls into question much of the field of political science, and/or its application in our society. I’d also argue that many poll questions are poorly worded and lack creativity. Perhaps this is as much a media problem as it is a data analytical problem.
  4. So IMO the biggest void in the media world is a personality that has a consensus reputation among the population as an “honest broker.” We do not have a perceived Walter Cronkite as our boomer ancestors did. John Stewart is no Cronkite but if he’s attempting to fill that void, I salute him.
  5. Not sure what merkley’s reasoning was but Bernie’s is on brand.
  6. That’s John Oliver and Vlade Divac’s kid.
  7. Imagine how much it must suck to be Joe Biden. Dude comes out of retirement to save America from a Kremlin puppet and the GOP nominates that same asshole again. You can see how this might complicates things for Biden… he almost has to run because if he doesn’t and Trump wins, he would probably feel responsible… and if he does run and Trump wins, he would also feel responsible. On top of that, there’s a major war in Eastern Europe and the Middle East is an ongoing disaster. Biden must have done some bad shit in a previous life to deserve this level of stress at the spry age of 81.
  8. Back in the 2020 primary I’m sure there were some folks claiming on here Biden would likely only serve one term…Which was as laughable then as it is now, but it was a nice way to kick the can on Biden’s most glaring shortcoming.
  9. Wild how we’re all living through an ongoing constitutional crisis and not many people give a shit.
  10. I agree with these with the exception that Haley adds nothing to the ticket. She probably wouldn’t add enough to change the outcome of the election for the reasons given so it’s a moot point (no one votes for Vice President), but if it came down to a Trump/Haley versus a Trump/Stefanik or Trump/Micheal Flynn or Trump/Ivanka ticket… pretty clear here who the best choice would be. Point is Haley has enough establishment street cred and campaign chops to give Trump’s campaign more perceptible/marketable legitimacy than the alternatives. She’s already kinda selling herself as the last adult in the room within the party. Will it happen? Probably not because Trump is a petty self-destructive moron but it’s fun to hypothesize.
  11. Do you honestly believe the Biden campaign would prefer to run against Nikki Haley over Donald Trump? Because I do not. I’m not certain Haley could win but she’d make the race more interesting. Sadly, these presidential races basically come down to who can run the most effective marketing strategy within six weeks of the general election. Over the last 15 years I’ve seen a black man named Hussein and a imbecilic racist unregistered sex offender become president. Anything is possible. For the record, Haley sucks on multiple levels but a Trump/Haley ticket would be tragically formidable.
