another study finds conservative media bias

We all know Chuck Todd isn't capable of interviewing to the level of predecesors, but weekly booking is a joke as often noted. If it's not a Hugh Hewitt it's someone worse.

It's a shock I know, but the Political Action Director for the Miami Young Republicans is going to be voting for Carlos Curbelo on Tuesday... pic.twitter.com/04DTDWowpD

It’s not surprising that a Miami Republican votes for the Republican candidate. The question is more about enough non-regular voters, if they’ll show up and who they will vote for...

 

At first I thought she might have been somewhat naive with her finding voters in gas stations. Maybe she just took people at their word. Now, it doesn't seem to be that. At best she doesn't do any background and at worst, she knows what she is doing and her employers don't care.

 

Liberal-biased NBC...

Also, once again ******** the New York Times for always falling for every GOP move from their featured stories to The Daily. They don't get DC and don't pretend to have the naivete of Politico.

Why can't these guys call a spade a spade?

 

Cha-ching! I did see it this AM too.

The rules have always been that the President makes news. Whatever he says is reported and discussed. It's a hard habit to break -- and I'm not sure that reporters should break it.

 

The economy is booming like a MOFO and blue looks to be doing well. It might be just the usual midterm thing, or it might have something to do with the Mort Downey Jr. syndrome -- people getting tired of the nonstop aggressive bigmouth. If it's the latter, then Trump has hurt himself by releasing all those squirrels.

Yeah I know some maybes in there. We'll see.

 

But if democrats win in 2020 and raise taxes he will go back to being a full republican.

A female friend just lost a job for being "difficult." As she narrated what had happened, it struck me: a difficult woman is one who asks for the things I get without having to ask for them.

It is, but again, is it helpful to his cause? Many Republican political strategists say No. They argue that if Trump just shut up the focus would be on the strength of the economy and he would get credit for that. Instead, a primary angle for Democrats is "we need people who will be a check on Donald Trump." It may well be that the angle proves to be a success.

It's proven that Donald Trump knows how to create a ruckus, but I doubt that anybody, Trump included, knows if these ruckuses ultimately will be to his benefit.

 

Booming for whom?

 

the investor class mainly, especially if they're invested in the "right" things (all the things I refuse to invest in because they're terrible for the world, mostly)

 

Booming for all white Americans, to judge by Trump's support. It's not the poor whites who are against him, by and large -- it's the wealthier ones, and their reasons aren't economic.

You want a job, you can get a job. It might not be a great one, but they're out there and begging. So yeah, I call that booming. It beats what I walked into when I graduated college, and went unemployed for 8 months before landing a spot as a temporary data-entry typist.

 

For everyone, low unemployment, lots of openings, not the best type of jobs, but if you want to work jobs are available, it may require you to move or take less money than your previous job.

Now booming for the top and college educated, for the rest just growing.

 

That's a good way of putting it.

I mean, it's remarkable. Today, in front of me, a truck emblazoned with "We need drivers." This weekend, in Indiana, a billboard. "Want to teach school? When you can you start?"

Sure the jobs could be better paid and have better benefits, but man are they plentiful.

 

Not great indeed. You have to work 2 or 3 of them just to afford a roof over your head,much less anything else like healthcare, wealth accumulation, etc.

It's a bullshit economy built for those already with money.
