If anything, they'd flock back to Carson or some other evangelical like Huckabee.

So they will go to the guy who has been married 3 times and also DGAF about gay marriage?
they're certainly not going to stay home. all evangelicals DO in primaries is vote.
Carson's done and Huckabee is a nonissue.
Politico total.

Because it's a question of authenticity. It will play to Trump's outsider strengths and the image of duplicituous DC politicians. At least Trump is being honest with them.
But I doubt the Evangelical Iowa voters will flock to Trump. I really do think they will ride or die with Cruz.

Why would anyone care about what politico says?
Like, not even two weeks ago they were balls deep in that "Clinton goes for the jugular after data breach" nonsense. Fuck them. Not worthy of the benefit of the doubt.
iirc there's a damn phenomenon where one is inclined to continue trusting news after they fuck up time and time again, but the name escapes me.

8.5 million somehow find a way to get by there, so I'm sure you can too. You probably already know all the pros and cons, so if you really want to take the leap, I say take it. It would suck if it doesn't work out, but I'm sure you're young enough to leave and rebuild if needed. A big part of life is taking chances.
I'd only recommend to have a very solid plan for employment you are confident in, if only so you know what sort of salary to expect to figure out how much rent you can afford.
Personally, there was once a time I thought about it, but I'm extremely happy I didn't go. I love life without money stress. There might be less cool stuff to do around smaller cities, but it doesn't matter how much cool stuff a city has if you can't find the time or money to experience any of it. But just by making that post, you sound more set on it than I ever was, so it's a matter of opinion.

On some level, I get it -- Dan Malloy isn't a great governor. He's okay on a lot progressive pet issues, but is kind of a bully and has a pretty acrimonious relationship with the state Congress and a weird relationship with the business community.
I think the problem for my dad is that he's not a very good businessman, and his business plan for what he does is based on a 1995 model of how economies worked. That's not how it works, and he hasn't really adapted. He can blame Malloy all he wants, but slight tax breaks (????) from a hypothetical Republican governor wouldn't do anything else to help him.

Listening to the tape, he clearly is saying that the gay marriage issue is a top priority for him. He was just sticking to the standard republican framing that it's about the constitution and legislating from the bench and religious freedom instead of specifically "fighting gay marriage".

It's a clickbait non-story. The only thing they're burying is their shoddy journalism.
I read on Twitter that he said the exact same thing in public ... so non-story to the max.

Do you have a lot of experience? or know people or prepared for like 2 months of shitty interviews?
If your prepared to burn that its not that bad. If your single you can swing a room with roommates in a nice area for 1000. Nows actually a good time because prices dip in the winter
Yea, if you want to move here it's best to have some kind of lead on a job already.

Once your here its pretty easy to hop around (unless you burn bridges)
but breaking in is hard.
I'm super lucky. I literally applied to a job online got flew up and got the job. No connections at all. The place I work for is super hard to make it too. I feel really blessed
Wow, that is lucky.

If you're okay burning through your savings I think you'll be fine. Just focus on getting any job when you first get here. Bartend, wait tables, whatever. Just some source of income while you're looking for something better. It's well known how expensive NYC is, but it doesn't really hit you until you do that first big grocery trip.

Its not like we dont have cheap garbage to eat here, if you're about that struggle lifestyle
So Hillary is a corporate hack and only says what her focus groups tell her to.
According to you!!!
Shhhh! Trump's our huckleberry
(man, that reminds me; I need to keep an eye out for a great deal on a Tombstone blu-ray, which is worth it for Val Kilmer's awesome Doc Holliday portrayal, alone). The other matchups were within the margin of error, of 4.5% percentage points.You have to be pulling my leg, on how much political ammunition the GOP candidates would have against each candidate, in the GE. To spell it out, is there anything in Bernie's exemplary, decades long career, they could use against him? Zip! Nada! Now, Hillary, on the othe hand, well... And, on policy, a significant majority of the population is in favor of Bernie's policies.
I thought Brent Budowsky, The Hill columnist made a great point:
Brent Budowsky said:
I think Bernie has the "political revolution" thing slightly wrong; we can bring about a political revolution, by simply voting, in "huge" (a Bernie favorite) numbers, and if we could reclaim both houses, with commanding majorities, then Bernie could get on with the hard work, of making his policies a reality. If he then got some resistance, from Democratic Senators and Representatives, on a policy that the general population is overwhelmingly in favor of, then sure, we totally have his back.
Assuming Trump is for real, and he wouldn't effectively allow Hillary to coast to an easy win; given the polls, I don't see Hillary achieving anything like as significant a victory, so she, like Obana, would have her hands tied by the GOP, and it would be politics as usual, for, at least, another four years...
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Please explain to me where I ever implied they'd flock to Trump. I never said anything close.
If anything, they'd probably evenly disperse among the candidates.
That would help Trump.
That is the only scenario in which it is not a non-issue as he is the only other candidate contending for Iowa currently.
Great, so net effect is that Trump is helped. Hence my response about Trump!
Politico is a dumpster fire.
They dumped this "revelation" of theirs on Christmas Eve for a reason.
That's funny, Chris Cuomo didn't mention Hillary's supposed bump, from the debate, in his interview with Bernie, and I think someone's stocking is going to be a little light, this Christmas

Well, this is...peculiar.
Jacobin puts up an article that goes: What Really Happened With the DNCs Datagate? The definitive explanation of the Democratic National Committees Datagate scandal and what the mainstream media got wrong.
Which obv means fundie shite, right? I mean, "definitive explanation", "mainstream media". #triggered.
But then... Björn Westergard is a socialist in Washington, DC who has written software for the political, on-demand delivery, and logistics markets. Which goes with
And from there it goes into the technicalities of the system. How it works, what its limits are, the works. Then continues on to compare what the camps said, what the media said, and the realities of the system. This is no attempt to excuse sanders camp at all costs.
Anyway, dude is also answering questions on ye Facebooks. It's worth a read.

Looks like the Fox January debate will finally begin to narrow things down.
https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/gop-debate-fox-business-news-criteria-january-14-1201666926/
Which obviously begs the question, will Jeb make it?

Jeb would have to fall behind Rand Paul. He'll make it.
Programmer with about 1.5 years professional experience. I'm sure I can find a job within two months and my savings should last longer than that.
I've wanted to live in a big city for most of my life and I should probably break in while I'm young. It doesn't feel too risky because I live in an expensive area with few software jobs. I was just offered an apartment in Brooklyn for exactly what I pay now. It's also furnished and has no lease period, which makes things easier.

They basically put the requirement exactly at where Jeb is. If they did top 5 national, or top 4 Iowa/NH, Jeb would be in trouble, but with these requirements he's definitely in. I bet if Jeb was doing better, they'd have made the requirements stricter.
Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Bush, and Christie are all a lock, but Kasich might get top five in New Hampshire, and Rand or Fiorina could get top 6 nationally, so this could still be an 8 person debate.
I don't get it.

Bush is probably stepping out and endorsing Rubio immediately after Rubio places in front of him in NH, and visa versa if Rubio somehow places behind Bush.
Though I don't what would happen if Rubio and Bush are 4th and 5th in New Hampshire. They'd almost have to choose to put their support behind Cruz.
