Question of the day. Would you give $100 or say 10% of your gross income a week directly to a homeless person?
Cash or benefits

Loving the close national and state polls. Keep them coming.
Also, the last NBC non-online poll had Clinton leading Trump 51-43 if Bernie drops out I believe.

The title of this article might make you think it's negative, but trust me on this: it's a damn nice peek at Hillary.
It's a long one, so settle in.
NYMag: Hillary Clintons Campaign Was Never Going to Be Easy. But Did It Have to Get This Hard?
There's talk of her weaknesses, her wonkishness, her & Bill cursing fighting the DVR at home once football season begins, some hints at how she might fight Trump, how we as Americans evaluate and rate "charisma" in terms of importance, some history behind her guarded nature.. it's a wide-sweeping piece. She can be refreshingly blunt about how she's not a gifted/natural politician, and I wish she'd show that side more often.

I don't know her name (not one of the hosts), but somone on the Today show was just on, and talked about a scenario where no one gets 270 electoral votes.
She actually thinks Congress would go with the will of the people, and pick who wins the popular vote.

Bored at work. Political podcast power rankings:
1. FiveThirtyEight Elections - Harry Enten is my dawg. Great chemistry and occasionally Nate goes on a rant. Jodie is the best host by far.
2. Keeping it 1600 - Always great guests and great Obama campaign stories. Favreau is so handsome and used to date Rashida Jones. I'm pretty sure he's a Sorkin West Wing character come to life.
3. Political Gabfest - The once king held back by everyone not named John Dickerson.
4. Off Message/Axe Files - Very guest dependent but Glenn Thrush and Axelord get solid interviews out of people, particularly Thrush.
5. Vox's The Weeds - More policy the politics, Ezra Klein kind of annoys me sometimes but I enjoy when he and Matt Yglesias argue.
99. Politico's Nerdcast - Trash all around. Their DC gossip can be fun but otherwise bad.
I should stop consuming so much political media :/

You're scared about the Cavs losing again huh.I've never hated that man quite as much as I do right now
My coworker has been a campaign manager on several state level campaigns and has worked on several nationals, including Mitts. She always has great stories and she just came over to my cubicle and said that on her way to Maine for vacation over the weekend, her and her boyfriend had a layover at La Guardia. She saw Lindsay Graham walking around the airport, not really going anywhere in particular, but he had no luggage or anything. She suggested he was maybe in town to meet a lover and my thought was he was shell shocked from having to support Trump. She texted his campaign manager with a random sighting text like he was a missing person.

Seems 538 posted a general guide to Veepstakes, it'll probably be helpful to link to newcomers to the process. It covers the bases like political geography, ideology, demographics, etc.

It just hit me that there has never been a non-white major party Veep candidate. Damn, that's not cool brah. I still want Warren, but I'd like ot see that particular trend broken.
Question of the day. Would you give $100 or say 10% of your gross income a week directly to a homeless person?
No, because I think a homeless person faces a number of problems that won't be resolved with just money. I'd support my money going to a system that aimed to rehabilitate and provide food/shelter/medical aid for the homeless

California Gov. Jerry Brown endorsed Hillary
For her part, Hillary Clinton has convincingly made the case that she knows how to get things done and has the tenacity and skill to advance the Democratic agenda. Voters have responded by giving her approximately 3 million more votes and hundreds more delegates than Sanders. If Clinton were to win only 10 percent of the remaining delegates wildly improbable she would still exceed the number needed for the nomination. In other words, Clintons lead is insurmountable and Democrats have shown by millions of votes that they want her as their nominee.

At his age, you need to take a nap whenever you can grab one. Especially when he is supposedly holding rallies with millions of people nightly in CA.
He has the chance to sleep on the job when he's gonna in the state 99 - 1.

He was saving all his energy to root for his favorite basketball team at night.

I personally don't find it funny. Out of all the stupid, shit Bernie has been pulling lately, it's never made me angry.:jnc
This is fucking disrespectful to the men and women who gave their lives serving their country. I don't care how busy or tiring Bernie's schedule is. If you can't show some goddamn respect here then you should've fucking stayed home.
I listen the normal morning shows but never checked out their dedicated podcast feeds. Thanks.You need some NPR politics in your life.

Jon Favreau can get it. And his voice.....Ughhnnn.

This is a really good article. It repeats some of the themes we've heard before about Hillary, and does leave me wondering what theory should change about their press / messaging to play to her strengths. She seems to do *so* well in these small scale situations, and yet gets utterly no press from that at all.
I do think they are right about how perceptions will change when it's a one on one contest for the presidency, and I do think the fact she will be the first ever female candidate will be a big thing. I also liked the summary of her activism work - it really appalls me how people have this image in their head of HIllary that doesn't reflect at all what she's done.

Did Bernie seriously try and use "Macho" as an insult towards Trump??
Err...

That's cute.

But being cynical has gotten too easy since Trump.
there would be riots if they didn't. I really don't see how they would / could give it via a partisan vote to a 2nd or 3rd place finisher without severe destruction.
RIP Brown's mentions today..
This is a nice surprise. He didn't care for Bill much back in the day. I think he realizes the stakes here; he's big on the environment, and a loss in November pretty much means that the EPA would eventually be gutted via the judiciary.

The cute thing is people on the Facebook page of the woman who tweeted the photo, immediately defend him by saying "He's running for President!"
Because running for President takes a ton of energy, but being President doesn't....
Bernie is doing so much more harm than good at this point. It may be too late for him to go third party (but can't he still get on the ballot in a lot of states as an Independent if he wanted to?)Loving the close national and state polls. Keep them coming.
Also, the last NBC non-online poll had Clinton leading Trump 51-43 if Bernie drops out I believe.
Even after he drops out, it seems like he wants to do nothing to help unify the party. That's a problem as the GOP continues to fall in line for Trump.
Bernie might be the most selfish and delusional person to run for the Presidency who has reached such a high level of support. Democrats were poised for greatness after the bitter GOP primary. Bernie is the only person standing in the way. He has to be smart enough to realize all the damage he's doing which in turn would speak volumes to how selfish he is. Even though it's early, every passing week with Clinton taking on both Sanders and Trump is a week where the GOP gets a free pass. Time is of the essence. Democrats had a huge advantage coming out of the primary and the Sanders campaign killed it for purely selfish and logic-defying reasons. Thanks for nothing.
Bernie isn't entitled to anything at the convention because he lost. Learn how to take a loss like an adult and don't turn the convention into a clusterfuck. Democrats need to be the party that comes out of their convention looking sane.

Not scared, just angry that anyone could be so gutless.
Plus, like, objectively it's a really weird pander. I'm supposed to believe this guy watches basketball because he shows up to a game where the minimum ticket cost was in the thousands?
How dare Brown endorse Hillary against noted Warriors fan Bernie Sanders.
Good luck ever meeting with Steph Curry.

so does Matthews get a thrill up his leg on Tuesday? Wonder if he will talk about the historic nature of Hillary's candidacy like he did Obama.
At his age, thrills are dangerous. It could be DVT or something.

Wow, that basketball. Cringey. He could have at least dressed the part. Dammit, man, how badly do you want California? Try harder! Christie failed when he forgot to wear something to that Cowboy's game, too. Classic. If only both teams could have lost that playoff game. Oh well.
This is how I define it as pandering: What's the percentage chance the candidate would actually do such a thing, were they not involved in an election? It is 0%? Then it's pandering. Even if it's 1%, I'll cut them a little slack, but I've never heard of Bernie being a basketball (or sports of any type) fan, and sure as hell not the type with a bucket list item of "see a game in every NBA arena." Christie's thing, yeah, I can at least imagine that he'd actually have fun at an NFL game, and he's there courting campaign money face-to-face. Moreover, is it a thing they could be doing privately to express support for? If yes but are choosing to do so in public then that's also pandering. Christie is up on the owner's booth not at all trying to hide it. Bernie just being at the game wouldn't be interesting enough, but he just had to be seen among the masses.of people who paid thousands of dollars for tickets
Please tell me we have footage of Sanders chanting along to some 1990's jock jams track. Might as well salvage this.
Typical disclaimer if anyone wanted to ask: Yes, I would groan just as loudly if Hillary were at that game. Please tell me she wasn't. She's better than that. Or at least smart enough to know to hide in a luxury box that doesn't have a camera pointed straight at it the whole game. Or at bare minimum, if she was there, that we have some embarrassing footage of her, too. I'd be cool with that.
Just as a side note, Christie is a legitimately huge Cowboys fan. Loves them and Jerry. Yes, he's one of those piece of shit NJ Cowboys fans. You have two legitimate teams in that same division right around your home state that you could root for, and you choose the fucking Cowboys.
Fuck Chris Christie

At least it's not the Eagles, am I right!?
Any team better than Cleveland is trash...which pretty much leaves us with no NFL teams that are worthy of respect.
