The Technomancer
card-carrying scientician
University of Houston faculty being advised to avoid "Triggering" material.
And by this, I mean they actively encouraged to censor material and limit teaching time so to give the gun nuts who are now armed on campus less reason to shoot people.
I wonder if this development will show up in the "colleges have their free speech stifled!" comments from Republicans? lol
Students peacefully protesting is censorship, but a culture of intimidation from carrying weapons is just good old America
We think alike.
Seriously this is just as important as the presidency if you think about it. If democrats can finally figure out a way to capitalize on voter turnout in midterms the GOP is eternally doomed.
Where is that turnout projection coming from?
It is definitely.
Yay, I can chill with you all and watch NV come in. I get off work at 11:00pm EST. I missed yesterday, so I have to make it up this weekend. Ugh. But at least I can watch the results.
Results should be amazing this evening. Think I'll be watching Fox for it.
What I mean is that I would argue that Corbyn is relatively, roughly as left wing for the UK as Sanders is for the US. That is my point.

New polls are great. Just wish we had gotten one last Nevada poll. I'm still terrified of armies of undecideds carrying Rubio to victory. If he wins tonight he instantly gets the "inevitable" moniker.
Oh man. I did not realize this.
Donald's going to romp tonight, isn't he? Another week of fretting for the party leadership.
His latest tweet:
I am growing the Republican Party tremendously - just look at the numbers, way up! Democrats numbers are significantly down from years past.

Nevada registered 14,000 new Democrats on Saturday. Half of what they registered in '08 but still good news.

Can we discuss some random UK politics here too?

So Sanders is just outright giving up trying to go for the minority vote? It's not like he really tried to begin with but at least there was the impression he was trying. It seems like he's just washing his hands now. Rather stay with his stump then alter it to appeal to more people. Then complains that Hillary is altering hers.

my poor father. Now has to worry about triggering those poor english students.
I hope so. Would be the best thing (in my mind) to come out of this election if your scenario plays out.
We do appear to be doing that
EDIT: Have any of you guys ever seen the video of British politician Michael Howard embarrassing himself completely in an interview, and if you haven't, would you like to?
Donald is mistaking growing with voting. What we've seen so far is the Democrats are winning with new voter registration.

I've seen no indication he cares about doing something constructive like that, his focus has largely been on himself as an island for quite some time. Say what you will about Cruz but he's been very effective at supporting likeminded candidates and helping them get elected to congress and the senate. Elizabeth Warren has been using the same playbook for liberals and female candidates.

Trump would have had these people executed, what a weakling Corbyn is:

Probably discussed and jokes about a million times but I am still confused as hell on how Carson became a world renowned surgeon. No not his religious beliefs, but he just seems lost and not well prepared at all.
I know I am judging across professions but the figure I see running for President doesn't inspire any confidence as a surgeon whatsoever.

I've never gotten the impression he cares about helping anyone else in the upcoming election whether he wins or loses the primary. I normally write this off as him not really being a democrat so he really just doesn't give a damn about the party and is just using it. He'll say the right thing in debates but that might be as far as he as he's willing to go.
Alriiiight: according to Ralston {KifSigh.wav}, Kirk Cameron is making robocalls for Carson in Nevada.
And this graphic is making its way around FreeRepublic:
Judging by the pictures of him in that jacuzzi, he certainly does swing both ways.
Oh god, does that make me like Marco Rubio?

Some people are good at their job and not much else. Many people have probably met doctors, lawyers, etc who are great at their job but seem like complete idiots on issues not related to their fields.
Carson's calm nature suggests to me that he'd be the type of surgeon I'd want working on me.

My mother thinks he has dentures.. She has dentures and notices how he's swallowing like he's making sure his bottom teeth are in place so they stay in place.

He needs to outperform hugely if it is close or he ties it only benefits Hillary. Proportional does mean he gets delegates, but so does Hillary and if the Caucasus is close the difference in delegates doesn't change. The last two Caucasuses showed that as long as you remain competitive with white voters you will do decently enough. If there is a sizable electorate that is composed of minorities be it 10-30% remaining competitive with white voters while winning the minority vote should get a narrow victory. Bernie getting floored in southern means it will be virtually impossible to catch up unless he outperforms in big states and white majority states.

Trump: "A person who is flat-chested is very hard to be a 10. Has to be extraordinary."
Man, if white women pick Trump over Hillary...

He definitely looks like he has physical hardship speaking. I don't know why though.

Anyone else think that the "participation trophy, everyone-is-a-winner culture" would be a great tack for Trump to use to attack Rubio? Rubio is a young candidate, so it would play well as an attack on his youth, and it would remind everyone that, despite what Rubio claims, he's been doing poorly in every contest so far. It's an attack that's simultaneously popular, insulting to the liberal millennial strawman, and not politically correct, and it reinforces Trump's "winner" branding.
So bad. He's letting her run up the margins. I know he was never going to win in the South but it's a delegate game and she might get an insurmountable delegate lead from the South alone.
In other word conceding the entire race but staying in because reasonsSanders is conceding the South.
So, I'm starting think that Brian Sandoval is the perfect SC nominee for Obama to pick. If he actually got through, he is a fairly moderate right of center nominee with judge experience, but it is the politics behind him that make the choice so amazing. Imagine the GOP not even providing a Republican governor and latino a hearing because they are just in blanket opposition. That would look TERRIBLE especially if Trump continues to dominate the GOP race.
They were spending 3x the amount in South Carolina than Clinton and the numbers probably ended up moving in her direction. So yeah, I get it from a financial perspective, but from a delegate and optics perspective it's such a bad move. Nobody needs to ever hire Weaver and Devine ever again.

Sanders can't win, but winning a few more whiter states looks better than merely keeping the margins in the South less severe.
