The only other options would be Sanders or Clinton...
Trump is a safer choice than either.

I don't check Facebook much, but I just saw that someone shared H.A. Goodman's masterpiece about how Bernie will get the nomination even if Hillary wins the most delegates. I successfully resisted the temptation to comment.
I believe Trump has quit the big 20,000 people rallies because of protesters and only holds smaller events now. So he seems quieter because the big mega rallies and the "Get them out!!" days are over.

Yes painting Emily's List as the corrupt establishment is as smart as doing it with Planned Parenthood.
Implication, thy name is Sanders.
(Also, potentially EMILY's List. I'd be curious to see if the other women Emily's List and Sanders both support are also both supported by all other Dems as well)
Is there any evidence that Emily's List is picking Clinton supported candidates over Bernie supported candidates when they aren't the same?
Pence can't really afford to endorse anyone given how he's in a competitive reelection campaign for governor.
The follow-up on Twitter is the worst -- some people seem to assume that other institutions have to fall in line, rank and file, with whatever Bernie chooses. No deviations whatsoever allowed.
It's ridiculous.

I would love it if Schumer lost in a primary, provided whoever beat him could be reasonably expected to win the Senate race in the fall. It would prevent us having to suffer through Schumer as Majority Leader. Maybe we could get someone good in there.
Personally I'd say Gillibrand should be Majority Leader, but that's just me.

or whatever third-party candidate they can conjure up as a protest vote this time

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Exactly. Unless Trump can somehow bribe 50-100 or so delegates on first ballot, it is not happening.

Durbin would be majority/minority leader if not Schumer.

My BernieBro classmate is extremely offended by "please don't rape women or men" posters around campus while denying that men getting raped happens, kill me.

Are you from New York? We like Schumer, why would we ever get rid of him?
I finished season 6 of The West Wing last night. For those unfamililar, it dealt with a brokered convention that went three days and several ballots. It even had a surprise candidate jump in during the process and nearly run away with it. The whole thing was a circus. I really wonder what the RNC will be like come July. It should be must watch TV although I doubt it will be a circus like the TV show. It would be interesting if the DNC started without a confirmed nominee although I don't see that coming close to a possibility at this point.

@JohnMaddensson @jess_mc @emilyslist @lauraolin I want to know why Emily's list thinks I shouldn't vote for Lucy Flores?
jess mcintosh ‏@jess_mc 3m3 minutes ago
@JMendenhall @JohnMaddensson @emilyslist @lauraolin you live in Portland, for start.
lol
The RNC might be like that, but with more angry, armed protestors outside. Anyway, Baker 2006! Make America Bundy Again!
Oh dear god :lol

They could also stop choosing based on who is "next in line" and vote for the best person. Reid was god-awful. Schumer seems to be cut from the same cloth.
Ted Cruz has no beliefs whatsoever except for the fact that he's a Christian lunatic:
the party for government so small it can fit in your bedroom
Yeah I don't understand. When my wife graduated with a Master's, it just happened he was in town. They bumped whoever was going to be the speaker (student president? Lol.) for him. He gave a great speech, although I think I've heard it's the same one he always gives.

Damn eLegals taking jobs away from good, hardworking, traditional lawyers.
We'll cross that river when we get there, etc.
Ok I just read through that article and I hope some of them are trolling
That wouldn't surprise me too much :lol
Man loves a camera and a crowd.
Obama was really only relatively new in that he appeared on the national stage in 2004 at the convention and everyone began to wonder when he would finally run.
Or in your uterus.
I-i don't get it. Someone explain pls
Fixed.

He spoke at my sister's graduation as well. It was awesome, he was a nice speaker.
He's saying Cruz is a dildo.

To stop people from stealing my TV?
We already knew that Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is illiterate.
I'm 100% sure Trump never thought he'd be doing this well and didn't plan far enough ahead. That and he seems to have a real knack at only looking at the immediate future.
He must really regret not finishing Cruz off before the voting started.
Oh my god. Jesus christ.

Reid was actually remarkably effective in terms of procedural stuff, executive/judicial nominees etc. The unsung hero of the Senate for a while.
I do wish he'd shown that same kind of drive towards legislation when Democrats held the House though. Guess it's easier for a politician to be on the offensive when they can't do anything of consequence.
Historically, if you go across both GOP and Dem races, the numbers that are quoted for Sanders supporters who won't vote for Clinton at this point in time match what 2008 was, and was lower than 2000 (GWB / McCain, the one where GWB accused McCain of having an asian love child). Basically, with Trump or Cruz on the opposite side, I'd put money down saying a higher percentage of Sanders voters who do vote end up voting for Clinton than Clinton supporters who voted ended up voting for Obama.
Cruz and Trump are pretty scary for Dem voters; that will move a lot of voters. Sanders supporters are just in their super salty phase currently.

I've encountered Chuck Schumer twice in my life--once at the polling place when I voted in 2012, and then hanging out at a street fair in his shorts, eating grilled corn on the cob and shaking hands.
It's a good graduation story, I don't blame him for using it. It totally makes sense for him to have a stump graduation speech though, given how much he likes microphones and whatnot.
The sad part is I can easily picture both of those happening. Man loves a crowd :lol
