For anyone who's seen Blacklist, I think we've found Bernie's true agenda...
Bernie + his supporters = General Ludd :O

Damn. He almost has to.
Rubio is going to have to address it because the media will ask him what he thinks of it. They keep doing that to everybody he takes shots at.
Amazing that Trump's high school (middle school?) style insults and jibes are what is dominating the commentary and the back and forth between candidates.
And, presumably, helping keep him out in front.
The only thing that seemingly seems to rise above the noise of that is when Bush makes another stupid remark.

Can't wait to see this supposedly inevitable Trump collapse I keep hearing about but keeps not happening.

He wont. Rino Rube's campaign is playing it smart. They know that they should not attack Trump, lest they get a beatdown by him. Just focus on campaign, do your own thing, and be an inconspicious potted plant.
It was Rubio's staffer that punched Rand Paul's tho

I've been really surprised at how well Trump's campaign has been run. Any time an establishment guy starts to rise, they take a shot at them and start to drive their numbers down. Did it to Walker, Jeb, and now Rubio.
I'm still puzzled as to why no shots at Carson. Perhaps they're counting on Carson to eventually fall and will want his supporters? He and Rubio are the only guys with a real shot to take down Trump at this point.

I didn't notice this until now, so I suppose if I'm late to the party I'm late.

[Vox] The Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act, explained.
The article summarizes the key points of the bill as
- Reducing mandatory minimums
- Killing the federal three-strikes law
- New mandatory minimum sentences for domestic violence and 'export control'
- Reducing the sentences of current prisoners
- Removing disparity between drug sentences
- And some things for juvenile and elderly prisoners
I thought conventional wisdom was that if you let attacks go unchallenged for too long it shapes public opinion. Isn't that why Jeb! started fighting back?

Trump is fucking with a lot of conventional wisdom these days.
The article also says that even though the time of the mandatory sentences would be decreased, it would apply in more cases. I don't know how that works exactly. It also creates new mandatory minimums for domestic abusers.
It also doesn't address the issue of parole for federal prisoners.
It's beyond mild and even then I don't know why it would pass.

Kasich is finished if he can't even break the top 5 in New Hampshire.
I don't think he was ever a serious candidate. He just barely got into that first debate and much like Carly Fiorina, the media wants people to think that these candidates were doing better than they actually were.
He seriously is. I hope he makes it all the way even though I bet on my waterboy Rubio, hah hah.

I didn't know Dr. Carson was a vegetarian, maybe he'll help the GOP be less hostile to vegetarians (I can hope

How is the GOP currently hostile to vegetarians?
The favorability numbers don't really have much to do with the actual poll numbers, they're just taken in an attempt to understand the actual poll numbers.

Well, maybe not "hostile" but:
Favorability ratings, vegetarians:
Democrats: 63% favorable, 16% unfavorable.
Republicans: 38% favorable, 30% unfavorable.

Important detail left out of that Iowa poll: Bobby Jindal is polling at 6, tied with Marco Rubio. All you Rubio waterboys are looking pretty silly right now. #piyushcomestoshove
Then guess what party they identify with
Think of the average asshole who walks around saying "Lol, VEGETARIANS? I'm gonna eat three times as much meat to make up for the meat they're not eating!"
Then guess what party they identify with
It's the dietary version of coal-rolling!
water boys have nothing on the dynasty warriors lead by king jeb. Once he conquers Fiorina and Trump in NH he will be top dawg.

It would be funny if every establishment candidate (Walker, Bush, Kasich, Rubio, Christie) faltered and the establishment tried to throw their weight behind Jindal.
If I were writing fiction (comedy) where this happened, Jindal would win nomination over Trump, and then the map on Election Day would look like this:

Hillary's "attempt to be more authentic" campaign isn't going as badly as I thought it would:

Is the sanders surge over? The numbers don't lie.
I'll say yes when Biden passes him.
Bam Bam Baklava

So his competition is a guy whose not even a candidate? Sounds like a losing position.
Seems like you guys really have it out for him. And Joe Biden isn't just some guy.
Numbers will not drastically change until the debates or more Clinton related negative press. Sanders has consolidated 25% of possible voters, Clinton is holding steady at around 45%. Debates will be the next opportunity for Bernie to surge beyond that 30% Nation wide which would send the DNC into a tailspin.
That's down to Putin, he saw an opportunity and moved in - taking advantage of the situation, there was no way for the US to do something about it while Russia was able to deploy man on the ground under the pretense of international assistance to a still legitimate regime. Simply put in this situation Russia was able to be one step ahead of NATO and the US moving in and "helping" their ally consolidate power and pretty much nullifying all the investment into the Syrian opposition. The situation would have been different if ISIS was not part of the whole conflict but the fact that they are also bombing terrorists has given them the needed international legitimacy to the operation. Especially while civilian casualties were one of the huge tolls of the Libyan, Iraqi and Afghanistani conflicts - there is simply not too much ground for the Obama's Administration to stand. They could impose more sanctions on Russia but right now they hold less cards and it doesn't appear this to be an effective tactic considering Putin and his cronies control the Russian economy and it seems he is able to sell any conflict to the populace.
To beat him over this is another diversion tactic - I don't think anyone was expecting Russian Troops in Syria a few months ago.
No, but he's being edged out by a candidate who hasn't even announced yet. Biden's going to get a 5-10 point bump just for jumping in, and its going to pull from both Hillary and Bernie.
It's not so much having it out for him as being realistic in regards to what is actually going on.
Numbers don't support this, unless Hillary drops out Biden stepping in would be benifical for Sanders:
The support for Sanders at this time is consolidated, it would take a train wreck of a performance in the debates or some other negative publicity to change that.

I've seen other polls that do support it. It's not beneficial to Sanders for Biden to gain ground. It's also not going to be a 3 person race all the way to the end so when one of the two drop out, Sanders still loses.
Basically, every realistic scenario shows Sanders having a bad time in the end.

Indeed. The whole "we'll train and arm them" strategy is so fucking bad, I have absolutely no clue how it even got approved. The idiots, including Obama, who orchestrated this strategy were living in the 1960s. They planned on training 4000 rebels. Instead they only trained 53, half of which ran away at the first sight of the enemy and the other half gave away all the US gear to Nusra front in return for safe passage. What the hell were they expecting?
You mind actually linking that poll? Also, you need to be looking at registered Democrats. Independent voters can't vote in most primaries so their support is useless right now.
Also, most polls do support this.
