I do think South Park can be funny, but literally having one of the characters give a monologue at the end of the episode explaining the message is a bit much.

I'm cool with this. Although, several times when a reporter has tweeted something like this in the past, during the middle of his speech, they have followed up with a later tweet like "whoops and now he is attacking Clinton by name".
It does seem like he cooled it a bit at his rallies in Indiana yesterday.
A nice article on voting by a couple of nobel laureates:

That's parody of 80s sitcoms (and some cartoons). At least I always took it that way.

The entire last season had a running joke about everyone telling Kyle to stop giving speeches.

Right. But that 20% makes a difference. that's 8% who want it further the left among Dems (that also don't approve).
That's enough to move the needle a few percentage points, overall. It's about 49-38 unfavorable right now. But if those Dems voted favorable, it would be like 45-43 or some such.
edit: Had no idea that since January it went from even to unfavorable again.

Honestly what we really need is to get the left to focus on state legislative seats. Getting control of as may state governments as possible (particularly by 2020) is, in many ways, even more important than getting control of Congress.

Certainly there is truth to this, particularly with the variations on "we learned a valuable lesson." Still it's hard to ignore that the speech often is a straightforward statement of Matt Stone and Trey Parker's (typically libertarian) views.
Honestly I haven't really seen the last season as it's the kind of show I tend to catch in random reruns. If they've recognized that the speeches are played out the way they did with killing Kenny off every episode, that's good.

are these real quotes?
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
She forgot about it when she saw who was writing her paychecks.
Yeah, its a bit of a paraphrase, the exact quote was:
KELLY: "On the woman issue, you know that he has said, look, I made a lot of comments when I was an entertainer, when I was hosting a show and needed to be a provocateur."
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: Megyn, he made them on the debate stage about you. So this is way beyond that he was entertaining. While he was running for president, he has spewed hateful, misogynistic rhetoric that is unacceptable in any forum but certainly coming from a presidential candidate, and the policies are even worse.
In fairness I think she was kind of setting up an answer from DWS by just saying what Trump's response would be to the accusation.
Yes, because I watched this live.
Yeah, all they needed was a likable center-right Republican running a big-tent campaign with populist positions, this could have been their year. The Tea Party, and the Republican base as a whole, has basically torn the entire thing to shreds. In November I think we'll look ahead and wonder when there can ever be another Republican president.
This is a relief.

Honestly I'm glad Sanders is planning to stay in, so long as his attacks don't get too heated. People are going to want to vote to endorse his message, and I think the healing within the party will be easier if they get a chance to do so (and not just technically for a campaign that's been suspended).
Bah, that's depressing.
Oh well, there is still a spectacle to be had in the upcoming GE.

Is there a place I can short brokered convention futures?
Predictit.
At this point I moved everything I made, which has been like $300, into the general election. That was enough to get me 500 shares, so by the time I come out of this election season I'll be $450 or so up. Easiest money I ever made.

I think it's funny how people are acting as if Mexico completely screwed us over in the NAFTA deal
If anything it's the complete opposite.
Mexico got killed because of our agricultural industry. Almost all produce other than avocados in Mexico were Grown here. They can't compete because their government doesn't subsidize their farmers

The main trade component of the decline of US manufacturing was opening of markets and supply chains to China. This isn't really a secret, it isn't something that economists will refuse to admit when talking about the effects of trade. Industries at a competitive disadvantage will decline without protectionist barriers and these tend to be highly localised.
But it was already declining prior to this, and to the implementation of NAFTA due to technology and/or productivity improvements.
The gains to society are much more diffuse, but still significant and its still generally agreed they outweigh the negative impacts.

Seriously, they pretty much say that. They have learned nothing from the Tea Party's swath of destruction on the GOP side.

You're not gonna win on free trade in the midwest.
I'm fine with parts of the party opposing it and having obama do what he's doing with TPP and using republican votes.
I also like dems negotiating the deals because I think they tend to mitigate the bad effects that republicans wouldn't give two craps about (mostly in regards to the negative effects for overseas countries rather than the US)

Bill Kristol was just on MSNBC. He said that the work to run a third party candidate was already well underway.
Agreed. He can do some good and hopefully repair some of the damage he has done (in reference to Trump talking about what Bernie has said).

Him outperforming his polling in Tuesday's contests really finished it. Projections of him clenching the required number of delegates did not take that into account.
I will probably always wonder if the stupid moves by Kaisch and Cruz were part of the reason, or just the acceptance of Trump as the nominee.

I really think it was those PA unbound delegates. He has really been doing a poor job getting those on his side in CO/WY/ND, but he put in the work there and it paid off.
