Not with Trump's plan.
His plan is to pay for 85% of private projects.
In other words, a huge corporate handout of unprecedented proportions.

Too bad Bob Corker sunk him with those thinly veiled "black man coming for our wimmen" ads. No matter how Corker tries to portray himself as some kind of reasonable conservative, I'll always remember deep down, he's a sleaze.

It was reported by the Post a few days ago that Trump is back to watching Morning Joe every single morning. Ford is a regular on Morning Joe. So this isn't surprising.

Which state?
Oh man, that was one of the worst political ads in recent memory.
Sam Graves's ad from 2008 was also pretty terrible! San Fransisco values!

Of course.
Didn't bernie tell his supporters to not do that if i recall.
I don't know what to make of the fact that so much of the country clearly doesn't give a shit that they elected a man who has in the past displayed numerous acts of corruption and has pretty much admitted he would do the same as president. It's like nothing about anything matters anymore :/

Hillary's such a shitty closer she couldn't rig the general after rigging the primary. smh

I'm still in disbelief that there is a significant amount of people who saw Donald Trump and thought "that guy's gonna get all the corporate creeps out of Washington".

I saw Kellyanne on the NewsHour talking about how it's "truly unfair" that Trump is being held responsible for the statements and actions of his supporters. Of course, she tried to pivot to asking why Hillary isn't being asked to repudiate supporters at her rallies that chanted things like "those pigs should fry" and why don't the protestors outside Trump Tower get more coverage. Judy Woodruff went too easy on her, should have brought up Bannon but she didn't. I doubt Gwen Ifill would have let her slide like that.

So she DEFINITELY rigged the primary but then couldn't rig the general!
What the fuck, Hillary.

People forget that in 2008 people were really fucking sick of Bush and the Neocons/Republicans, that counted for a lot in Obama's victory. He ran the whole "we need change" campaign like Trump and Sanders were running this time one way or another. There's a momentum to succeed with that kind of campaign, Hillary was poorly positioned to capitalize on it especially after eight years of Obama/Dems. She was the wrong candidate at the wrong time, but definitely would have won in 2008. If things had been inverted; Clinton in 08, Obama in 16, I think Obama could have won it on the "we want change" campaign even if we would have had eight years of Hillary. He would have been this election's Bernie.

I totally missed that implication, bwhaha.
People do forget that, which is why when comparing election results, 2012 should be used, not 2008.
But even that is not fair due to incumbency advantage.

Offer to relocate 800k high propensity voters from California to Texas. Problem solved. Forever.

I knew something was up when random little old ladies (and husbands) who would come into work were murmuring how Trump was going to bring the banks and/or foreigners to task.
Tying high finance to global elites is literally the oldest card in the nationalist deck.

That was a wink wink nudge nudge towards them being extremely racist.
Also Rubio is a terrible politician with no charisma, a crappy record and nothing to offer anyone.
Was the pan handle going to vote for Rubio? Were WWC voters going to? What did Rubio offer them? If not, Rubio loses.
This was an election based on ideologies. Dreams. People would have seen Bernie as the one to do the job. Rubio would have been too mainstream.
Except it wasn't. This was an election where one candidate won the popular vote and the other won the electoral college. We can't make any broad generalizations about this election given the results.

I wish there was an easy way to compare presidential election results from the county level between 2008, 2012, and 2016. The spreadsheets from data.gov are a mess.
It's an election with razor thin margins that likely got swung by the FBI director two weeks before the election.
So that's why the Bay Area isn't building more housing.
It was a perfect storm of bullshit.
Resident Rubio fanboy.

Perez might work. I liked him a lot when he was being tossed around as VP
And he'd be a dedicated person for the job.
Yeah pretty much. If even one of all the things that went wrong (oppo droppo anyone?) had gone the other way we'd be having a very diffeeent conversation right now.
Did y'all talk about Ellison on Keepin' it 1600 yet? I wasn't impressed at all
I mean, he completely lost me at coffee shop meetups. I do think that Democrats NEED to acknowledge that their base trends younger, and come up with some different ideas to keep the party visible at times other than election years. But I needed to hear some wonkiness. Ellison reminded me of being on the steering committee of a college student organization, and not in the good way.
DNC chair is not a popularity contest. Save that for actual politicians running for office. DNC chair needs somebody who knows how to organize, recruit, and strategize.
I wasn't getting the impression that Lovett wasn't too impressed, either.
no wonder Bernie likes him.

Fuck. Courts are now blocking obama's executive action on overtime pay. Now trump can overturn the new rules by simply dropping the defense of it.

My sister in law was just tonight talking about how excited she was for that to be enacted as a McDonald's manager that regularly works 50 hours or more a week. I'm not sure what to say to her.

I must have missed this. Screw off, Bernie, with this strawman. He seems real fucking adamant about energizing his primary voters and continuing to ignore everyone else.
Perez could be good, but only if he's going to forego running for Maryland governor.
Like if this keeps up hilary may looking at a 30 point lead in CA once all of the votes are counted. Her lead is now over 3.7 million which is insane. I don't think anyone that has won a presidential election before has lost CA by nearly 30 points.

Just give the job to Howard Dean again.
Keith worries me. He gives me the vibe that he would be too against blue dogs. Which we need.

There is a strong opposition against dean from the Sanders camp. I'll be okay with someone who is competent and willing to build up our decimated state organization.
