From previous thread

Fuck Schumer. Put someone like Gillibrand in that position.

First woman president, then first female speaker of the Senate that happens to be Clinton's protege New York senator? That idea is bitchin.

 

[Black Republican]

TYT went completely delusional with their support for Bernie. At least Cenk used to be pretty good at objectively predicting what would happen when it comes to politics (although on policy matters he very often lived in a fantasy world), but now he given up reason completely in his Bernie stanning.

Wouldnt say delusional but they seem really defeated here

I wonder if Gillibrand working for a tobacco company hurts her in a future Dem primary.

His whole campaign has been one giant pivot and it works for him.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Snowden just sounds like he's aping Bernie's white male lens of seeing the country only from an economic perspective. And on top of that, I don't think there is a single issue where Bernie would be a more effective president than Hillary.

It's a pretty big stretch to say he's viewing the country ONLY from an economic lens, from that Tweet, so much as he's saying corporations' stranglehold on the political and economic systems is a huge elephant in the room on which Clinton does not look like she'll be very effective, given her historic comfort with schmoozing with them to curry donations. He's not remotely saying they're equally bad, but that both have some kind of glaring flaw.

 

[Tesseract]

Isn't the whole snowden thing fucked because Obama made promises to whistle blowers that he didn't keep

What a shame. They used to be such fun to watch, but now they're effectively just an outreach arm of the Sanders campaign. The comments on their education and college plans was so telling.

'I don't know what Hilary Clinton wants' - ignoring pages of detailed policy proposals in every area, unlike Bernie.

'Bernie might have a problem funding his plan' - *might*?

And top and tailing it with comments about her credibility, trustworthy ness and what she stands for.

Very sad.

As a lawyer? Clinton worked on the board of directors for Wal-Mart and that hasn't stopped her.

They seem to slowly come to grips with reality, but I really don't know any other word than delusional for Cenk's claim about a week ago that Sanders has a higher chance of winning the Democratic primary than Clinton. To make such a statement at that time you had be driven solely by wishful thinking rather than a objective, rational observation of the facts.

However, the whole of TYT somehow still believes that Sanders would be a better candidate in the general election, hence their inability to understand why minorities choose to go with the more realistic candidate. Frankly it's pretty embarrassing for them to base those opinions on those ridiculous polls 9 months away from the general and honestly they should know better since I didn't hear any panic about Cain beating Obama in the GE four years ago from them.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Oh, Reddit.

SC Youth, Bernie is the FDR/JFK of your generation. You have the most to lose. Why won't you get out and vote?

 

[Plinko]

Oh, Reddit.

So far this time around we have heard Rubio is Reagan and Bernie is JFK. Perspective, people.

Are we sure this isn't a parody site?

Also, who came closest out of us to calling SC? I gave Clinton 40 points, but I'm sure someone went higher.

boy was he right.

So what state do you guys think will be worse for Sanders than SC?

 

[QuiteWhittle]

boy was he right. Who honestly expected this?

I definitely didn't. I wonder if it can go even lower in GA, AL, LA, and MS or will this be his worst state.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Isn't he losing in Georgia by Putinesque margins? Like by 80 some odd points?

when do you vote?

 

[Diablos]

I'm not really sure SuperPACs are high on the priorities of any voters they're going to be vying for.

If and when it's Clinton v. Trump, a diplomat and stateswoman, and the potential first female President vs. a candidate built on racism, sexism and bigotry, with no experience in government? I mean it may seem overconfident, but I just don't see there being a contest.

Yes, Hillary Clinton is polarizing. I'd fully acknowledge a lot of people may not like her. But when it comes down to who you're going to have running the world's largest economy, commanding the world's strongest military, holding the nuclear codes?

Who in their right mind would pick Donald Trump?

My concern is turnout. Not that primary turnout always determines how things will go in the GE but there is quite a gap between parties and the Republicans are just crushing it.

I also think despite how appalling it is that Trump is basically saying what he wants, how he wants... it's like a breath of fresh air for a lot of people. Especially people who do not "get" politics and are not happy with the way things are going.

I know Trump gloats a lot but he has been listing off lots of blue states and swing states as winnable for him. It would be interesting to see what his campaign may be seeing internally.

 

[NeoXChaos]

the worse GA poll has him down 70-22. The worse AL poll from last summer had him losing 78-10.

March 15th in Florida.

Democrats registered more new voters in Iowa than Republicans even with lower turnout.

March 15th in Florida.

Sanders is doing better there.

is it safe to call March 5th (Sat) a mini super tuesday?

Kansas
Louisiana
Nebraska
Maine (gop)

what are the chances she sweeps on saturday?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Also, one of the worst arguments:

Low primary turnout means Clinton will be a bad GE candidate since she isn't exciting people. Well then, what about Bernie? Doesn't the same apply to him...

I assume Bernie feels they can fight in Kansas/Nebraska?

 

[Bel Marduk]

On Tuesday I believe Clinton takes all states except for Vt Tossup in Massachusetts
Sanders can't really compete after this

Cruz is only competitive in Texas but the result is too close to call Trump takes all other states and Rubio is treated in the press like the victor despite not winning anything

In Georgia, Trump gets support from 30 percent of likely Republican voters — followed by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio tied at 23 percent each, and Ben Carson and John Kasich tied at 9 percent each.

In Tennessee, Trump leads Cruz by 18 points, 40 percent to 22 percent, while Rubio gets 19 percent, Carson 9 percent and Kasich at 6 percent.

But in Texas, Cruz is ahead at 39 percent - followed by Trump at 26 percent, Rubio at 16 percent, Carson at 8 percent and Kasich at 6 percent.

In the Democratic race, meanwhile, Clinton leads Sanders in Georgia by 34 points among likely Democratic primary voters, 64 percent to 30 percent.

In Tennessee, Clinton is ahead by 26 points, 60 percent to 34 percent.

And in Texas, she's up by 21 points, 59 percent to 38 percent.

Mix of dates, most before the debate.

YES

YES

Oh yes. Ohhhhh yes.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Anyone got a good list of Politics reporters to follow on twitter?

 

[RustyNails]

YES

Rubio with the famed 3-5-2-2-2-2 strategy. Full heart, sweaty forehead, cant lose.

 

[Cheebo]

Rubio always seems to out perform his polling by 5% or so due to getting the late decides overwhelmingly, so take that into consideration for any numbers we see.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Trump really should do something about his tan

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

Lol. Trump just said on CNN that he had to do research before disavowing David Duke and the KKK from endorsing him.

Of course the host just dropped it

 

[Trojita]

EDIT: Also, did Sanders seriously say to people that they were "too smart" for him to lose in Minnesota? Diet racism much?

My opinion, but I think you are trying to stir shit that isn't there.

 

[Y2Kev]

Yes but except for SC, he hasn't pulled from Trump. He usually pulls from JEB! or Cruz or the assorted loser co.

In Texas, as long as Cruz is kept below 50% that's fine.

 

[Black Republican]

Rubio must be so happy FL isnt a super tuesday state. Imagine Cruz winning his home state easy but Rubio couldnt in the same day, pretty much break his campaign.

luckily he has 2-3 more weeks to improve his FL polls

the problem with that is people are already voting in FL. Kasich and Carson voters are lost votes as we speak.

The most hilarious thing about that is that he's reminding them he's not a man of his word.

Like, that tweet would make rational sense if he said "remember, I never signed the pledge".

And Rubio below 20% please.
