So a friend is a crazy dedicated Bernie Bro is linking "establishment playing establishment games" by linking Sanders' statement about it not actually being over until the convention. I had been planning on holding off on commenting on anything else he posted until Sanders dropped out because the last time I tried to talk about issues he told me to fuck off and that I was a short-sighted prick that didn't understand how the country couldn't do anything until we get money out of politics. He apologized immediately afterwards but it just made me decide to wait until he'd hopefully cooled down some.
Should I just let him stew or should I tell him about Sanders calling Obama the presumptive nominee in 2008? I don't want to have a fight with him but I also want him to not go down the crazy conspiracy hole that he'd dug himself into.

What I mean is, my roommate is out of the country, but he sent in an absentee ballot from his layover in New York before he left. He sent it to our home address, and I thought I had brought it up in the mail, but I fear I may have dropped it or accidentally thrown it away. I now can't find his ballot, he's on the opposite side of the world, and he's not returning until the 12th.

I'm a journalist.
It's not really standard to give them all the questions. We might let the know what we're interested in talking with them about, but they don't get to see all the questions before.

You just fucked his vote and are morally obligated to vote for him according to his choices using your own, surrendered ballot.

Oh shit, we have a real 'establishment media' journalist who posts here?
I don't understand why your roommate sent you the ballot. How is that correct procedure? Seems like lizard people voting to me.
I see they keep it dark so you can't tell her crowd is dwarfed by Bernie rallies.
Yup, I bet they haven't drawn anywhere near the 212,000+ Bernie has drawn around California. Only one of the many reasons this was a premature call by the MSM. The DNC will see the real will of the people in Philadelphia.

I would prob wait a day or two. Right now is prob peak Bernie Bro anger. So I doubt he's in the best condition to argue with.

Yes! I've been rigging it for Shillary all along!
I work at a smallish newspaper. Bernie oddly enough won the county I live/work in.

did AP release who the newly committed superdelegates are? Anyone notable in there?

In normal journalism, sure, but I meant that political candidates being interviewed by tv stations friendly to their campaign will be fed questions so that they're well prepared, in accordance with the station's agenda. In fact there are many people who will preapprove questions before they agree to an interview; you will remember that one of NPR's journalists got a lot of flak because she was made to agree beforehand not to ask Bill Cosby about the rape case but ended up ambushing him at the end of the imterview. So my comment was about high profile, influential people.
WHAT WERE HER VOCALS LIKE?
Well, they werked over his girlfriend. I would wager...orgasmic?
I guess so I could drop it off at some polling location tomorrow? I don't know. He told me that his ballot was coming in the mail, but then didn't say what to do once I got it. But I feel like I'm supposed to do something with it.
Edit: it says on the California primary website than someone in the same household as you can deliver it on your behalf.

Saw this article from the OT thread about Xavier Becerra being a possible VP pick. Have to say that I think he would be an excellent choice.

Gotcha. But yeah, for someone like Fox News that's friendly with Trump, they'll definitely give him the questions in advance for the reasons you mentioned
I'd be game. I don't think he has the same degree of labor furvor and support as Perez, but he's a great, well qualified candidate who's aesthetic as shit.

I'm pretty sure they're in hiding for messing up Queen's plans.
Nails on a chalkboard, I assume.
I will be a Perez dispenser until I hear he is not under consideration.

You guys are insane. It's not going to be Perez. He would be the least qualified Vice President in American history.
Same with Becerra. He's not qualified. At all.
And it might be Warren, but I don't think she would be a good vice president because I wouldn't want her to be president. Period.
It'll be Tim Kaine or Warren, and honestly, I'd prefer Kaine.

I take back what I said earlier.I like Perez and Beccera but from what I've seen, neither possess the fire that Warren possesses in my opinion.
Could you explain a little more? Is there a possible way to fix this?

Read a Pat buchanan quote, saying that the homosexuality that arose during the Weimar republic eroded society. The gays were apparently responsible for the nazis. Can you believe that, someone blaming gays for causing the rise of a super right wing party that sought their destruction? Blame the hens for the foxes that eat them?
Pat Buchanan is a certified asshole

It is strange, I hope someone investigates their ties to Wikipedia too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2016
I'm really disappointed to find that Wikipedia is so easily manipulated by elite establishment forces. I'm going to start being really careful about believing what I read on there. Especially when citing it in my research papers.

The entirety of the modern GOP can be found in Pat Buchanan's Culture War speech at the 1992 convention and Newt Gingrich's memo to the GOP congress during the same time period.
That reminds me of the Nixon quote where he expressed his belief that homosexuality sapped the Roman Empire of it's vitality, or something stupid like that.
Winning never looked so good.
You should avoid citing wikipedia in research papers anyway lol.

I'd trace a lot of the modern GOP to Reagan still
#4 in the house, serving for 20+ years isn't enough? While Warren who just took office a few years ago is? So the only qualification you care about is 'are you a senator?'
Thanks, I'll be here all election. Did I mention my incredible photo manipulation skills?
Buchanan also thinks that Britain should've pursued peace with Hitler in 1940 so they could keep their colonies.
He's an idiot.
A well read idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.

What's weird is that Trump just a few days ago was getting hit really hard with Trump University criticism.
But ever since his comments about the Judge, no one is talking about it anymore.
There's no way it isn't intentional. He must have legitimately planned, and thought if he makes some racist comments about the judge, it'll help distract from the purpose of the trial and this story blow over quicker.
Like I mean, I guess it sort of worked..
But what kind of plane of existence are you on where that is actually a preferable narrative.
That's like if I said to my self in school one day " Well if I shit on my principals face, it'll help that rumor about how I was the guy who farted in the stairway on the way to the lunch period blow over quicker"

He has been in congress for over 20 years.
