I believe SuperPAC ads are not allowed to Specifically endorse a candidate. They can attack another candidate all they want but they can't endorse. SuperPAC leaders don't mind though because it's easier to attack your opponent than to put a candidate on a pedestal.

A good idea? I started 6 months ago.
I mean, sure. I feel like this is a show vote since we knew the bill was going to pass, which is pretty much Sanders's whole thing.
On a practical level I am like, I would like a better Puerto Rico situation (really I would have liked them to win their court case and just get state bankruptcy), but passing some kind of bill is still a lot better than just having to sell off all of Puerto Rico's assets to pay their bonds, because they have no access to court-organized bankruptcy otherwise.

Rumors of Joe Kennedy running to replace Warren if she's VP picking up steam.
I feel sorry for the poor soul who even tries to challenge the guy.

Kinda figured it would be him from the beginning, to be honest. He's gonna make it far.
Add in the part where Trump says Romney would get on his knees

It'll be worth losing Warren in the senate for VP if we gain Kennedy. He'll be huge for us and a good weapon going forward.
That would be good, we need another Kennedy.

That pic of Bernie eyeing the camera is hilarious.
Johnson's running at 15% there already, and even Romney said he would be looking at his platform. Ultimately Johnson is a republican, and those voters need some sort of home to go to. Remember they had Jon Huntsman as a hugely popular governor, and he believed in climate change and a rise in the minimum wage, and the DREAM act.
Utah is an extremely red state, but at the same time seems to allow its leaders greater divergence from republican orthodoxy than other areas.

Good lord it must be annoying seeing this guy walk around with his "Presidential" security detail that he has only because he won't give up some pointless campaign.
This is as close to shade as the NYT will ever get.

One and a half party states can broaden the one party and extreme the "half" party.
The New York and California GOP probably run more on socially and culturally conservative issues than many of the deep red state ones do because they're drawn into such safe House/State Legislature districts. The NYGOP has spent years infighting over abortion even though their only significant victories statewide in the last roughly 35 years came from comparatively pro-choice/gay-rights Republicans or a totalitarian running as a Republican to avoid primaries.
They rather infamously tried to get rid of Al D'Amato at least twice, despite his Senate incumbency and thus pork record, because he only had a 96% anti-abortion voting record, the pro-choice lieberal communist atheist bastard.

The best part is Javits didn't even like anybody in the GOP and vice versa. He could have just swapped over to the Democrats and probably stayed in his seat until his death and then left it to the Democrats in 1986. But instead he had to split the center-left vote and give up his seat to a conservative who basically held it on the back of incumbency until the state had shifted too much.
Good chunks of Republicans didn't even vote for Javits in his prior two elections, ~15% of the vote going to the Conservative Party, what did he think was going to happen in a Reaganite dominated primary and then a general where he was a third party candidate lol
Old Senators are such dicks. Except Carl Levin.

wtf Bill
why the hell would you have a meeting with the AG in her private jet on the tarmac.
Do Clintons not have any type of foresight or self-awareness?

Funnily enough it looks like we may not have a choice, may well be May v Eagle

To organize how to kill Hillary's Presidential bid with a timely indictment.
Bill's looking out for numero uno.
Translator's Note: "numero uno" means "number one."

Who was it that wrote that editorial about Cameron fucking Boris over, by doing resigning as he did? Looks pretty smart now.
Stop watching morning joe
Nope.
In the comments, Gordon Freeman is a Trump supporter. You'd think he'd be against a headcrab zombie running for president.

Hilarious. that's like telling liberals to turn off Fox News. Conservatives are really bad at protesting/boycotting.

Do you take me as a masochist that I would watch Morning Joe to start my day?
lol Rasmussen predictably has Trump "surging into the lead" when he's doomed in the other polls. 43%-39% amongst "likely voters".

I know a libertarianish guy who watches it because I quote "it ensures I can't come across anything stupider that day."
Oh great. Now the news media is going to be citing this poll all day to keep the "horse race" narrative going.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
A Horse Race narrative can be beneficial, at the very least it'll keep people motivated to vote. Keep in mind we have yet to see a poll with Trump leading in FL, and if he loses there he's basically already done. If he wins a national poll or two, it's not particularly relevant.

Would be cool since he actually met his wife taking Warren's class at Harvard.

We love the Kennedys out here in MA that's for sure. I'll miss Warren as our Senator though if indeed she is the VP pick.

One of the GOAT West Wing episodes. People look at me strangely when I say it's the funniest show I've seen, but there's a damn good reason.
