Other than polling, how do we know that this many really switched? Might it not have been the polling equivalent of “yeah I know he’s racist.....but I’m not....because I have a black friend“?
Which brings me to a corollary to my earlier point....I will remain convinced that the millions of people who claim they voted for Obama and then for Trump merely claimed to have done so to publicly excuse themselves for knowingly voting for a fascist to be President.....until proven otherwise.
Greatest rap ever. As relevant today as the day it was made. "bad cough" "laid off" "man's in the basement mixin' up the medicine" "keep a clean nose" "get sick get well" "don't follow leaders" It's all there.
Biden predicts Trump will try to "kick back" the election. Not sure why he would say that. It makes him sound crazy. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/biden-predict-trump-try-delay-election-help-himself-mark-my-words
No it doesnt.Hes talking about a guy who wants people to drink bleach.Of course he thinks he could cancel an election. Joe could start talking about Area 51 and he would still wrapped tighter than Captain Clorox.
Yeah, he needs to stay out of those weeds. Don't want to get in that debate as the presidential candidate. Let the other guy's actions speak for themselves. They are speaking loud and clear right now.
It's not crazy to suggest it.Thats where you have some one in the campaign suggest it to some other Dem lawmaker to point out so the candidate stays above the fray.
Precisely my point. The candidate should stay out of that talk (as a Democrat ... we all know Trump could get away with it). This is the work for a PAC to dump these insinuations.
It may just be that universal healthcare coverage is no longer viewed as a crazy, far left, communist idea. Which it really isn't, so that would be progress.
Paul Krugman destroyed McConnell stupid "bankruptcy" suggestion. “This is stupid on multiple levels. For one thing, states don’t even have the legal right to declare bankruptcy; even if they somehow managed all the same to default on their relatively small debts, it would do little to alleviate their financial distress — although it could cause a national financial crisis.” “The idea that this is specifically a blue state problem is ludicrous. Fiscal crises are looming all across America, from Florida to Kansas to Texas — hit especially hard by crashing oil prices — to, yes, McConnell’s home state, Kentucky." “And if states and local governments are forced into sharp budget cuts, the effect will be to deepen the economic slump — which would be bad for Donald Trump and could cost Republicans the Senate. So yes, McConnell’s position is stupid. But it’s also vile.” “Last but not least, let’s talk about McConnell’s hypocrisy, which like his stupidity comes on multiple levels. At one level, it’s really something to see a man who helped ram through a giant tax cut for corporations — which they mainly used to buy back their own stock — now pretend to be deeply concerned about borrowing money to help states facing a fiscal crisis that isn’t their fault." "At another level, it’s also really something to see McConnell, whose state is heavily subsidized by the federal government, give lectures on self-reliance to states like New York that pay much more in federal taxes than they get back.” “Of course, McConnell has an agenda here: He’s hoping to use the pandemic to force afflicted states to shrink their governments. We can only hope both that this shameless exploitation of tragedy fails and that McConnell and his allies pay a heavy political price.
That's why I read about things like asking for the adult whose birthday is earliest in the year to make it random within the household. If women are more likely to answer the phone, and 75 percent of people who are surveyed are women, even tripling the results from each man to make it be half from men and half from women may be worse than sampling an equal amount of men and women (and now there are people who don't consider themselves either gender). Take Michigan of Biden 46%, Trump 38%, and 16% undecided. To make a tie at 50%, Trump would need to win the undecided 12%-4%, meaning he needs three-fourths. Furthermore, the undecideds could include people who have already decided that they will vote third party or write-in a candidate who isn't running. If you make 3% (18.75% of 16%) as people who have decided they will vote for somebody else, Trump needs to win the undecided 10.5%-2.5% to make a tie, meaning he needs 80.8% of 13%. A person could change how he or she votes because of who he or she lives with, or because of a situation that neither him or her nor any politician could have changed or prevented. Just like there's macroeconomics and microeconomics, people may not realize how people can decide who to vote for on a micro level that even if it is under 1 percent of an area could decide an election. The media isn't going to focus on things that affect a tiny amount of people, but if you want to name as many things as possible that could affect why people vote the way they do, there could be things that experts don't think of.
If there wasn't a 30 minute time limit, I would have edited my post instead of making a new one. Not that the accusations against Biden aren't serious, but if this true, it's much worse: 1253785676274970625 is not a valid tweet id
Is Sanders’s seat at the table at the convention in danger? Turns out there is a rule that statewide delegates could be removed from any candidate that isn’t still in the race.. The rule hasn’t been enforced before but the DNC said previously it would this year... If the DNC holds to their previous comment, it could mean Sanders would lose a third of his delegates and it would be virtually impossible for him to get the 25% necessary to get a representative at the table.. https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...-his-delegates-making-for-a-messy-convention/
New Evidence Suggests Tara Reade’s Mother Knew of Allegations in 1993 https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/04/new-evidence-in-tara-reades-allegations-against-biden.html Credible allegation gets more credible.
I was listening to some political analysis a few days ago which was discussing this China/Biden thing Trump campaign already spent 15m on facebook ads pushing the idea that China is to blame and the Joe and Hunter are corruptly mixed up in it all. Team Biden is punching back hard on Trump's failure to handle the crisis and of course they have all this great video of Trump praising Xi The feeling was this latest "Ukraine" is unlikely to work well for Trump but there you go
Could there be a Biden-Obama ticket? Jill doesn't say no when asked about Joe picking Michelle as VP. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics...n-vice-president-2020-election-newday-vpx.cnn I don't see it, tbh. While Michelle is certainly popular, she wouldn't even be in the discussion if she wasn't Obama's wife and she doesn't really have the progressive appeal the Dems want.
I meant more on the fact she doesn't really have any experience at politics outside of her time as First Lady and that there are more qualified people for the position.
HRC had zero experience when elected to the Senate after Bill's term was up. I would say Michelle Obama would be more competent than others that actually were elected to the position.
