The Bernie People have not got much else to do right now besides yell about Clinton and "expect" things to be released. Bernie has no other shot without Clinton getting literally arrested.
Picking Gingrich would be another one of those amazing moments where folks pause and ask themselves, "is he intentionally trying to lose this thing?"

Why is Donald Trump so weird?
Using a fake spokesperson to call in an tell anecdotes about your life? Why not... just do it yourself?
How did this go on for 30 years lol
The more I read about him, the more he really seems like a bizarre little man who lives a strange life and has strange quirks.

Gravis national poll:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/docs/2016/Gravis_National_Trump_Clinton_May_2016.pdf
48-46 for Clinton.
Gravis gets a "C" and R+1.4 from 538, so...

Yeah, it's...frustrating. I don't know how new people are falling for this gimmick every day. It's been months.

Seeing Trump get his "end of primary" popularity bump and still losing to Hillary gives me life.
Edit: God damn, I don't think there's a single thing this election that can trigger a crazy Bernie supporter more than by mentioning Nebraska.

This is the pick Trump makes if he wants to lose. When I told my mother this was an option he was looking at when she asked she made this face, this face of pure disgust, that told me everything I needed to know about how she felt about this. I've never seen her make that face talking about anything else, she hates that dude on a cellular level and I doubt she's alone.

I'm looking at the 2012 results @ http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/ and I don't think any state is likely to flip outside of North Carolina. Not saying this election will be boring, far from it, but the actual results might be.

Watching cable news for the first time in a while and holy shit you would think Trump is the only person running.
No wonder he won the primary, it's trump trump trump.
If I wasn't aware of the democratic primary I would assume Trump was the presidential elect.

It's sort of annoying that the freshest national polls are DEAD HEATS from the four shittiest pollsters this cycle and one tracking poll.
Like if it's this close now that's still not a huge concern but I'd like to have some idea whether it's actually the case.

They need to hold on to that statistical dead heat narrative as long as they can and I don't see it sticking much longer.

Going to fun to watch Hillary's presumed candidate bump, where it'll show her +15 or something ridiculous, and see how the media handles it.
It's kind of sad that the media has played such a role in promoting Trump's cause and that was before they even got to the "we want elections results to be as close as possible so we get more eyeballs" part of the election.
He admitted he used the name "John Barron" under oath in 1990 during a trial.

NY Times July 13 said:
If the republican electorate wasn't batshit insane all that Trump coverage would have killed him. It was like 99.9% negative coverage. It's not the media's fault the GOP is filled with racists. That's the uncomfortable truth no one is willing to admit, so we blame the media.

How in the blue hell are Republicans so fucking bad at Opposition Research? Like, how in the hell do you miss this? Why are you wasting time talking about fucking Trump steaks guys!?

If I had one wish, it was that the media didn't play middle man, they played fact man.
Let the sides go at it with each other, but always correct each side at the subject at hand when they start saying completely false and incorrect stuff to beef up support on their side.
Sure, it would hurt the GOP, but when you're entire party is based on basically ignoring reality to a degree, that's the price you pay

well, a Trump dumpster fire campaign implosion could serve as an even better story than your usual boring "dead heat" narrative

Once the presumed separation in polling numbers takes off I think they'll have to think about it really hard.
Traditionally, the color for the left-leaning party is red and the color for the right-leaning party is blue. America just likes the be contrarian.
It's the media's fault.

It would be pretty easy to, just say "every candidate gets a bump when they become the official candidate"
Which makes sense. A 10%-15% win for Hillary would be impossible. Except that they totally ignored that point when discussing the recent DEAD HEAT that... still shows Trump losing.
True. People like train wrecks.

And the universal red/blue only became the standard in 2000. Before that, each network would decide what they wanted to do.

That's hilarious coming from someone who grew up in the UK where the colours were always established in my lifetime.
Remember, Clinton's team is so good they dug up Obama's kindergarten papers.

Mainly that he has no idealogical principles when it comes to policy and is just interested in do-nothing politics that center on being anti establishment.
There's really no logical explanation for supporting a libertarian for president and then a socialist for president. One less poster to pay attention to.

I think it was here that I read Hillary is the one candidate to have taken Trump seriously and got a research team ready in early 2015. Nobody else had one until 2016.

I think about how good a job the GOP did in ensuring that W Bush was backed up by a really strong cabinet. I mean Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld... these were relatively moderate and skilled politicians. And all probably now considered too moderate for the GOP.
But seeing stuff like this publicist hilarity just clarifies for me that Trump isn't going to cede one iota of control to his cabinet, whoever they'd be. I mean, I believed that before I found out that his ego won't let someone else be his publicist, but that underlines it in permanent marker.

Same in Canada. The most left-leaning party there is actually orange. Honestly I don't care either way which color they choose for Democrats, I like them both. Maybe purple should be an option.

Well let's not be misleading. It was a libertarian in 2008. This year it's a centrist Democrat who isn't running, then a right wing anti-gay fundamentalist, then a socialist, then MAYBE a racist nationalist although that one's looking problematic these days.
