With Garland, you gotta remember that assuming Hillary wins this November, RBG will probably step down during her first term. Sri would be a great replacement for her.
I think RBG of all people would want to be replaced by a woman, and Hillary would certainly comply.

True, although Obama has already placed 2 women to replace men on the court.
I'm just trying to show that there are likely to be other vacancies over the next 8 years, either via voluntary exit or old age.

Once someone gets home. I can't manage a shot. It hurts because it holds my arm in a weird position. The rep who fitted me was fiiiiine.

Damn, how do you get so lucky?

Do we think Breyer would join Notorious RBG in retiring in the next presidency?
 
Alright guys and gals, now that the jewish socialist dream is over, it's high time I get a much to match my Bernie mugs.

Also humorous is Hillary's fine-print in her emails. I'm not sure if she does them in every email, but they've appeared at least occasionally for months:

If you're still reading this, you must be a really dedicated Hillary supporter. Yee-haw for you!

I'll post a picture of my dream-team once they arrive. Still will be caucusing for the old jew though in a week or so if he hasn't dropped out by Washington.

Might be a little late with this, but I thought it was hilarious:

Ted Cruz urged to apologize for attacks against Mitch McConnell

As their party burns down around them, they're still more concerned with their feelings than actually regaining control of the party. I guess it shouldn't be shocking at this point, with this being example # 39348 of them being out of touch and completely self-serving.

That is not about feelings, but about seeing if Ted is willing to be a team player. If he isn't, even on something as insignificant as that, then the party has no reason to support him over Trump.

Such flawless, nuanced logic.
The alternative is Ted, who has a track record of being an opportunistic backstabber. Given that scenario, the logic is apt.
 
Which line do you guys like best or which one sticks out the most to you from Rubio

Dispel Fiction...

B. Obama knows what he is doing

I guess my question is, which one has a stronger pun feeling? dispel or know what he/i'm doing?

I have a feeling that Clinton number will change as soon as the Dems come together.

Doubtful; as the number is for the entire US; not just Dems. Hilary's favorability has already rebounded amongst Dems. Basically, running for president drops your favorability no matter what.

I thought both Clinton and Bush had negative favorability back in 1992?

From NYT article

The highest unfavorability rating for any nominee or front-runner was 57 percent, for the elder George Bush, in October 1992, as he emerged from a difficult first term in the White House. But his Democratic rival, Mr. Clinton, was widely liked: Just 38 percent viewed him unfavorably, according to Gallup.
 
Okay, let's vote for biggest Trump lies:

Biggest Trump lie that is easily fact-checked within 10 seconds.

1. China is devaluing their currency
2. I am self-funding my campaign.

Biggest Trump lie based on paranoid hate speech.

1. Thousands of Muslims in NJ cheered on 9/11
2. Mexico is intentionally sending rapists to the United States

This is the Sanders plan for the road ahead: battle to CA, rack up more pledged delegates, win w/superdelegates http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/bernie-sanders-longshot-victory-superdelegates-220847 …

The Sanders top aide meeting is about planning "to win upcoming states. That's what we're 'huddling' about," Devine added

Edward-Isaac Dovere ‏@IsaacDovere 25m25 minutes ago
Sanders for sure not dropping out, Tad Devine tells me. Huddle today is "to plan the schedule for the next several weeks" & talk deployment

Devine and Weaver you have gone off the deep end.

I do think the pause in fundraising for Sanders is telling. I suspect Sanders himself is trying to decide what the right thing to do is and whether it's appropriate to raise more money when he doesn't believe he can win.

I could see a path here where he cuts down on fundraising and coasts forward through the remaining primaries, mainly staying in to push out his message in the debates.

Wait, he's not taking anymore money?

Nooooooooo Sri :(

Well, I hope Garland goes down as the sacrificial lamb and Hillary shoves Goodwin Liu down their miserable throats.

What they fail to realize is that Hillary is going to reach the magic number with supers sometime in May. They want to argue that she should reach it with pledged but neither her or Obama were able to get it by pledged so the supers put Obama over the top. She's definitely going to reach it by pledged but that won't be till June 7th.
 
Is there any way to determine how much gold Sanders has left? Ballpark is fine. Trying to get a value to extrapolate how much pull he could get with dems in exchange for warchest+continued fundraising and other works.

And just like that, @BernieSanders' $ email lands: "we have an extremely good chance to win nearly every state that votes in the next month"

He's about to get influxed with cash.

You're just taking a shot in the dark at this point. We know what he had at the end of February but that's it.

No fundraising emails since last night is something though. It'd be easy to turn that into extra cash by saying "We lost but the upcoming states look good so donate now and we will win for sure!" but he has yet to do that.

Edit: lmao well I was pretty on the nose
