Isn't that completely fucking up the expectation game for the Sanders campaign!?

It's for fundraising. Campaigns do this all the time. They're appealing to people who are worried they may not win, they see this email, and they go "OH WE'RE ALMOST THERE!" and so they donate. To think of it as something more is foolish.

Good on bringing up the cloture vote and good on not mentioning ghettos. This might be too early and too tied into the debate news cycle to change the discussion that has already been going.

When talking about poor minority issues, probably not good to pivot to poor white people. Bad optics.

Trump supporters demand Ted Cruz disavow firebrand ‘kill the gays’ pastor

SUPPORTERS of presidential hopeful Donald Trump have demanded rival Ted Cruz “disavow” a controversial preacher who called for the death penalty for gay people moments before sharing a stage with the Texas Senator.

Kevin Swanson, a Christian pastor known for his far-right anti-homosexual views, made the shocking comments at the National Religious Liberties Conference in November.

“Yes, Leviticus 20:13 calls for the death penalty for homosexuals,” Swanson said.

“Yes, Romans chapter one verse 32, the Apostle Paul does say that homosexuals are worthy of death. His words not mine. And I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And I am not ashamed of the word of god. And I am willing to go to jail for standing on the truth of the word of god.”

The comments have only been seized on in recent days by Trump supporters after Senator Cruz and third-placed candidate Marco Rubio used the support of white supremacist David Duke to hammer the billionaire.

otherwise, i'm very much not gonna be okay. best case, my eyesight's permanently worse; worst case, i'm actually blind

Oh okay. Well, take care of yourself. I have eye issues, so I know how annoying they could be.

OMG, Bernie this is a Rubio type "talking points" thing.

Somehow he got from the debt, to healthcare, to free college. IN A SPAN OF 20 SECONDS.

We'll pay for free college with only a financial transaction tax?

That was a good way to handle the "trustworthy" question, I liked it.

bernie doesn't realize taht speculation taxes could never pay for nationwide free college

if you makea tax larger than the margin of any transaction you kill the incentive for making the transaction in the first place

Today marks the day I changed my mind officially about who to vote in the Primary.

I intended to vote Bernie as a "message" vote, but the constant anti-Hillary spew has convinced me that I'll vote for this to end as early as possible instead. I don't think Bernie is a strong candidate and Hillary's the more well-rounded choice anyway.

Sounds like you're right where I am. In fact, I think that a big part of the reason I voted for Sanders is just because my state was early enough that I hadn't changed my mind yet. If I were voting next week instead, I can't say for sure that I'd vote the same way.

Rubio quitting now would likely be forgotten in 4 years. Rubio losing Florida and getting 5% in Ohio won't ever be forgotten.

He could still try to salvage his career if he drops now. Can't blame them for making it an option now.

Somehow Bernie managed to take a question about the national debt, and completely misunderstand it as a question about his healthcare plan. When pressed on it, he responded with his free college plan.

And he just refused to defend Christians. On Fox News. Know your audience, even if you're right.

You are correct. At first I was sympathic to Bernie, but now I want him to go away.

His answer to every domestic question pivots back to Wall Street and billionaires. His answer to every foreign policy question pivots back to his vote against the Iraq authorization.

It's honestly quite sad how stuck on message he is.
