  1. Old, impaired, whatever. You appear to be quite confident of his mental fitness. I guess you're one of the 30% of Americans that doesn't think he's too old. The problem from an electoral standpoint is you're a minority. You're also presuming those voters would make the same decision today.
  2. People have voted for a nominee is fundamentally impaired relative to who he was six months ago. Let's exaggerate your position a little bit--you think the Dems should run the same ticket if Biden was diagnosed with Alzheimer's today, just because they had a primary election that concluded a month ago? I'm not suggesting we try to run the country by polls, but the VOTERS are saying "hey, that vote we cast? We'd like to take it back." To ignore that is a great way to lose the election.
  3. I don't know why not, Levin's a voter and we don't elect Kings in this country. Levin is perfectly entitled to express his position and isn't obligated beyond that. Some of ya'll that are purported Trump opponents are leaning into very antidemocratic positions. Very pot calling kettle...
  4. This is going to seem like I’m picking on you but this is how races are lost. If you have a good candidate you don’t need to be so precious about covering up for their weaknesses. If you don’t have a good candidate then you shouldn’t be running him. It’s up to candidate Biden to argue that he’s fit for office, or do you think democracy functions best when a candidates flaws aren’t tested? Let’s remember, it’s still primary season.
  5. I’m more interested in the publicity surrounding a blitz primary, anyway. Also a great way to vet VP choices. Otherwise, onto Harris and the unburdened of what has been.
  6. I just totally disagree and think house reps going public (for or against) is exactly what they should be doing. That‘s, coincidentally, representing the views of their constituents. They don’t work for the President, they work for us (and he does, too). Look, Candidate Biden is done. He isn’t getting younger and the right play is for the Democratic Party to put forward someone else, and public pressure needs to grow to get us there.
  7. What about that statement justifies calling her a cunt? Let’s reserve that sobriquet for Ted Cruz.
  8. I favor the James Clyburn "mini-primary" with something like 8 townhalls spread over 2 months. It energizes the Dems, helps allow a consensus to develop around a replacement (instead of anointing Harris, although I'm fine with that option, too), and will totally suck all of the media oxygen away from Trump.
  9. I would play Cabbage at first.
  10. I’d rather trade Chas and live with Loperfido’s contact issues.
  11. Haha, I just had a client who raved about Montevideo. All of the charms of Buenos Aires and the government isn’t nuts. As far as the OP, if I didn’t have little kids I’d live in San Diego or Coronado Island. The only places with better weather have other trade-offs (and there aren’t many).
  12. I don’t know why Hunter Biden would want him in the race. He basically had his DOJ deal torpedo’d because the GOP couldn’t impeach his Dad. I blame his small cadre of inner staff and elites like Schumer and Pelosi that aren’t willing to make more of a stand. Of course, all of this could be for show and he’s already decided to pull out but wants it to happen at an advantageous time, like during the GOP convention. You have to admit he getting 99% of the media attention at the moment.
  13. Obama going public bounces him. The real question is whether he move Biden in private.
  14. That Bulwark podcast interview with Ezra Klein someone posted upthread was pretty damning. It doesn’t appear that anyone who isn’t inner circle believes he should stay in the race.
  15. I actually think the Astros farm is reasonably well regarded amongst the teams and @Snake Diggity and @Wulaw Horn would likely echo that. It lacks the kind of well scouted, high end talent that tends to be an easy lay for Baseball America and their ilk, but teams have their own internal evaluations and there’s definitely major leaguers currently developing. Despite Luhnow’s absence, for example, they appear to be doing a pretty good job of developing the late arriving but solid big leaguers (at least for a few years) that was kind of the hallmark of those central division winning Cardinal teams. I think we tend to downplay the value of that because we’ve had studs like Correa, Springer, Bregman, and McCullars that were all top 50 prospects before they hit the majors and default into it’s the only way to do it. What might be more problematic is that we just don’t have any depth at all to deal from, which is why people like @Wulaw Horn pushed adding free agents in the off-season and making an outfielder or two superfluous. Our willingness to spend is potentially the last thing we have available to trade away. Also, Bowden sucks and no legitimate GM would ever tell him anything of merit.
  16. This; growth because the players themselves improve while adding on the margins is how Golden State won four championships in seven years.

    Worst controls since arcade Dragon’s Lair…
  18. McRaven couldn't outmaneuver opponents of a UT Houston campus.
  19. Forget how she was treated, Hillary is 76. I'd rather nominate someone who an actuary would predict to live two full 4 year terms.
  20. Haha, I tried Cuantos Tacos Saturday and it was $17 for 6 misc tacos (two were pastor). Clearly I’m paying hipster prices.
  21. Can any of you that follow this better speculate on how exposed we might be on the prospect side to the draft? I’m presuming the Westlake shortstop is gone and that Rodriguez is potentially his replacement, or is that overly presumptuous?
  22. This is so long ago to be almost irrelevant, but I spent a summer working on a dude ranch in Granby and bounced around all the nearby towns running chores or going out to eat/drink. Everyone is just grouchy there compared to Texas. Summer resort season tends to be a bunch of teenagers running things, anyway, but the locals are weird.
  23. I don’t recall which version of the script it was that I read (clearly not shooting) but a predecessor version made the pedophilia even more explicit. Huzzah to this
  24. Excuse me? Talk to Me came our last year and was a huge success for a horror movie.
