Having to work at her age?
Fuck, in Clinton's America we're all going to work until we're dead.
I'm kidding. Get it gurl! WERK! Yaaasssss. Sorry, that's as straight acting as I can be.

Good, authentic Chinese food is GOAT, mate. Shit is just on point.
I just realized that Barney Frank is me in like 50 years. Legitimately just as much of a snarky bitch as I am. <3
I'm gonna give it seven months or so.
Weird, Obama mentions "Republicans" on a more or less daily basis.
This LBJ style attack ad just popped into my head, fully formed:

NARRATOR & CAPTION: VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON ON NOVEMBER 8TH. THE STAKES ARE TOO HIGH FOR YOU TO STAY HOME.
its very likely he going to put her name into nomination at the convention.

He can say that the media created Donald Trump but it's a reciprocal relationship. He has to realize that people actually agree with what he is saying. Some people honestly just choose to be racist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. no matter how much information they get.

Can I be an asshole for 30 seconds?
OH GOD I NEED THAT TO HAPPEN. I want to watch Reddit BERN when that happens.
That would be a lovely touch, and I think it would be a nice way to unify the party.
I meant Obama. They could allow Bernie to do it too but I don't see him doing what Hillary did in 2008. Walking out on the convention floor and releasing his delegates. Devine and Weaver would never allow it.
Bill can't do it because he is night one of the convention

Oh.
Well. I'd love that too, actually. Would be a really, really nice moment. Shit, I'll bawl like a baby.
The more I learn about her (currently finishing up her first memoir), the more I've seen how adaptive and straight up gracious she can be. She did make mistakes closer to the end of the primary but she also learned from those mistakes very quickly and worked overtime to mend any damage that was made and worked her strongest to unite the party as whole. It's kinda sad that the public persona people have of her is a snaking "bitch," so to say, when she has spent a good portion of her life devoted to helping people and quickly responding and reacting (and OWNING up) to her mistakes. Those are admirable qualities. I really hope she gets to be our President.

Are you reading Living History? I preferred that one to Hard Choices. Hard Choices is so heavy on foreign policy. Sooo heavy. She's brilliant, though.

Bernie, your supporters are being shitheads about the superdelegate thing. You shouldn't be encouraging them.
you know adam would be balling his eyes out at that.
If they are going to steal it from Trump why not give it to someone more palatable? Sure no one other than those two meet the requirements to be given the nom but those requirements could easily be changed.

I'm wonder how much hate Hillary would going get if she's becomes the POTUS. A lot misogyny.

I thought about going but the Bronx is like an hour hike for me. I might try to snag some stuff from bernie's NY HQ. Its like a 10 minute walk from my house in Gowanus.
Also I'm going to a New York Democratic Conference in like 2 weeks. Hillary is supposed to be there and I might get facetime with Schumer and Gilibrand plus a ton of state politicians.
If he does something in brooklyn I'd probably stop by. I'm gonna try to see if I can find tickets to the dem debate if it happens.

She'll do anything to get (other people) in the White House
Quoting this whole thing because it is incredible and must be made to happen.
I don't think they'll give it to someone who didn't run like Paul Ryan. I think Cruz has easily been the best organized and will prove formidable on the floor of the convention.
Living History and it has been a great read so far. I bought both of her memoirs (I also bought Bill's and Obama's). I've followed the primaries in the past and voted in 2012 but this is the first time I've been really involved and browsing through PoliGAF has really helped motivate that. So thanks y'all. <3

If they steal it from Trump, giving it to Cruz through a floor fight gives them some amount of cover. The establishment can claim they had no control over what the delegates did, wink wink. Bringing in someone else just looks terrible. As long as Cruz wins it by following the rules on the floor, and they don't change them to be more favorable to him, they can claim a certain level of ignorance.

He's basically Trump policy-wise though. I don't think he has wider appeal or more willingness to tow the party line.
I think they try to give it to someone who isn't running.
There is no way Cruz would pivot to the center for a general. He is the pure conservative. Every cycle where they say "Oh if only a true conservative would run blah blah blah" and Cruz is the test of that theory. And it would fail miserably. It might be a good thing in the end to get people to shut up about being a true conservative but then they could just use the fact that Trump is running interference to say he messed it all up and we are back at the cycle again.
Edit: I'm not really disagreeing I guess. Cruz seems like he is the pick least likely to set things on fire. Just amazed at how boxed in the GOP are right now it's amazing. The obstructionist freshmen Senator who embraces pastors calling for the death gay people is the GOP's next best option.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I've been on this train for days now. I say 95% chance.
I also predict it is a total disaster. There is no cover for this--they will actively go against the will of the voters. About half the party will revolt. Delgates being courted behind the scenes doesn't change that fact.

Yup. There's always an excuse.
Ahahaha, that's Mac Lethal and he got fucking owned. I remember him winning the emcee battle at Scribble Jam in the early 2000's, and one of his albums was pretty decent, but geez, what a cunt.
You didn't even need to sensor him since he's a public figure (and I immediately recognized his real name).
You'll just get "no true Scotsman" claims from people who say he's not "real conservatism".

Cruz is still toxic, but the GOP gets to say "Well, shit, he's bad but he's not Trump bad!" Trump makes Cruz look palatable. Let that sink in.

I loathe them both...but from an electoral standpoint, with Cruz you know what he's going to do. He's a politician. He's predictable. Trump is a lose canon. He'll fire in any direction at any time. He'll say something on Monday, reverse it on Tuesday, and create a faux outrage on Wednesday. He's harder to pin down. Cruz, you know what you have. There aren't going to be any LOL voters for him.

the river won't catch on fire but the Q definitely will
I think they're fucked no matter what. To the point that even arguing degrees of fuckeditude almost doesn't matter. It's like arguing which is worse: your house being destroyed by fire, or a tornado. The house is gone either way. lol
Trump gets the nom: the GOP gets murdered in November.
Cruz takes the nom in a floor fight: Well, the GOP has been so transparent with its #StopTrump movement that there's no way Cruz getting the nom won't be attributed to that, no matter what "it's the rules!" excuse the establishment gives. Party revolts and splinters, gets murdered in November.
