I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I didn't feel like waiting.
That's pretty much what my map would look like if I had to make one now.
What is the deadline going to be for any type of contest? Riskiest guess would be AZ.
I was there but I didn't see Hillary

If I'm wrong about GA (or any other state I have shaded red) it'll be a pleasant surprise.
I think GA will be heartbreakingly close.

How could you miss our Queen's radiance? Every gay has a beacon built in. It's like how I can always tell that "low fat" sour cream tastes like shit. When our Queen is present, you should know. Mess.
Kidding. I hope you had fun at Pride.

Did y'all see this awesome story from the NYT?
Dude is arguing that Hillary is not a successful candidate because her vote totals are less than Trump and Bernie COMBINED.

Cameron makes John Boehner look like a hero.
Yeah Trump is pulling an amazing 8% of Sanders voters. And that's before Bernie has dropped out and endorsed Clinton.

lol.
No I didn't because there were so many people and I had little standing space and got all anxious and tensed up ;-;
people scare me
There's no point in debating with trump supporters.
Call them neo-Nazis. Ask if they've lynched any black people lately, and ask them how many fantasies they have of wanting to fuck their own daughters.
These people are like slave owners, segregationists, KKK members, the Taliban etc.
Once you even begin to take any argument they make seriously you're already giving them a 1000 times more respect then they deserve

Crooked Hillary just took a major ad of me playing golf at Turnberry. Shows me hitting shot, but I never did = lie! Was there to support son

Hillary Clinton is not a change agent, just the same old status quo! She is spending a fortune, I am spending very little. Close in polls!

Hillary shaded Cuomo by posting a pic of her at Pride covering his face. I fucks with that.

Alright, experts of PoliGAF. Let's say the Democrats dominate so hard in November that they retake the House and Senate, and one of the first things they tackle in 2017 is gun control. What would we see?
Hillary's website says she's pushing to "strengthen" background checks. Should that be interpreted as universal background checks? She also supports repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, nixing the Charleston loophole, and making it harder for various types of criminals/suspected criminals from buying guns.
Would we see anything more than that? Federal database? Limit on total number of guns one can own? Handgun ban?
I know a lot of people here advocate incrementalism for most things, but I feel that pushing only for changes like universal background checks might make further changes down the road less politically viable, as many might feel we've "done enough" once background checks, etc. are implemented.
Thoughts?

If they do more, then many might feel we've "done too much" and punish the Dems in 2018.

I have never, fucking ever seen a presumptive nominee advertise that they are "close in polls" in such a positive light

2018 is going to be a bad time no matter what dems do
what, you think that people are magically going to vote in a midterm election?
Best use the time they have for anything and everything and then deal with 2018-2020. If Hillary tries and be safe with her first term then she's going to waste it considering the likely hood of a recession and the fact it would be three terms with dems as POTUS.

I'd hope the spike in registrations from Hipsanics, etc. might translate to an increase in the number of consistent voters.
Though I fear there might also be some sort of bounce back in 2018 from Rs who sat out in 2016.
Her numbers went up though

Plus going balls out on legislation might give the "But what has Obama DONE!?" left crowd less to bitch about and they'll actually show up. Not terribly likely, but worth a shot.
I feel the healthcare reform fight, while it produced pretty substantial legislation, was too politically ugly that people were disillusioned early on, and Dodd-Frank was too abstract for people to think of it as significant (anything short of Wall Street guys in shackles would be seen as disappointing). I wish cap and trade hadn't stalled in the Senate.
Hopefully - hopefully - Hillary will be able to get some significant reforms passed in the way of college tuitions/student loans, immigration and climate change so Dems will have some major achievements to run on in the midterms. Additionally, gun control and the Equality Act would be good olive branches to the base, as well as a minimum wage increase and a big investment in mass transit (which are universally supported but would probably just be seen more as "oh, that's neat" similar to a lot of the stimulus act's provisions). In any case, it's best to count on us losing in 2018 any Congressional gains we make this November. Not to discourage us, but to put a fire under the Democrats' ass to try for a solid two years.

@realDonaldTrump Crooked Hillary Clinton got Brexit wrong. I said LEAVE will win. She has no sense of markets and such bad judgement. Only a question of time
Checkmate
Damn, with the Brexit and now Trump, those poor Poles can't catch a break
If Trump just sits on Twitter issuing zingers while Hillary outspends him 1 billion to zero on battleground state ads, I can't see how he loses.

I disagree that the way to make voters excited to vote for Hillary is to add Tim Kaine.
Tim Kaine
Jeb was born for this. And he will absorb all attacks from Trump. He will do it if asked.
