or, dem policies actually damage the economy, but the effects are only seen after years of implementation and republicans are actually trying to fix them before they cause recession!

THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Been trying to call my Senators today to tell them I want them to vote yes to the gun control proposals on Monday, but they lines are continuously busy.
Anyone who has called Senators before or worked with them know if leaving a message is sufficient for your voice being heard, or sending an email? I haven't been good about actually contacting my Senators in the past since Georgia has two Republicans who I expect to ignore me, but I want to start trying at least.

I called Portmans office and left a message. I didn't bother with Sherrods office though. I know how he'll vote.
Long shot, but do you have access to a fax machine? You could fax a letter.

Don't send an email. It's best to actually get an aide on the phone but a voicemail is good if you can't.

That's a good idea. You don't even need a fax machine. You can fax online.
One reason that a letter or fax is nice, it can establish you are a constituent (via the originating address, and if that fails, the address in the body). Plus, old people like old methods of communication.
You still went beyond 99.9% of the population just by calling.
That makes sense, both of them are pretty old. I didn't see fax numbers listed on here though: http://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/senators_cfm.cfm?State=GA
Yeah I was reading that Senators actually hear from such a small % of their constituents and gun control is so important I can't just say nothing
Words can't express my frustration here. I'm just trying to figure out what he stands to gain by doing this unless he really wants to fuck everything up at the convention OR if he really thinks that something bad is still going to happen in regards to HRC's emails etc. because really there's no other legit reason. He can still make a deal for influencing the party platform and not be a candidate.

Damn. At 8th grade graduation of all places. Kids fucked up their speeches in 12th grade and this one was spot on.

I think he's just afraid of going back to being irrelevant. Which I understand.
Something's going on in North Carolina behind the scenes. The Clinton campaign's ad buy there is now at $3.7 million, more than Florida's $3 million, but less than Ohio's $4.5 million. There have also been reports that the RNC has 50 staffers in the state that's preventing them from expanding in other states that they want, like Pennsylvania. Clinton's team knows they can get it and the RNC is worried.

I've got an experiment. Just replace every occurrence of the word "muslim" with "Jew" and see if someone sounds like a fucking Nazi.
It doesn't matter. Trump is going to get California and New York.

It's so beautiful. Your know she is so happy to be handing them their ass after 25 years of bullshit.
Priorities USA has also been increasing their ad buy in North Carolina too. They've been running ads for the past month. Trump hasn't been running ads anywhere and so far there's no indication that he'll start. Clinton has control of the airwaves and she gets the first word - she's defining herself how she wants, and Priorities USA is defining Trump in a negative light (although you really only need to turn the news on for that, not see the attack ads of him attacking women and disabled people).
I also think that Pennsylvania will get more attention in October than North Carolina will, because I think NC will be in Clinton's column by then and PA is the ultimate fools' gold that Republicans think they can get.

It's cute that Bush thinks McCain and other Republican senators would provide a check on a Presidential Trump.

How does Rubio running affect the Dems regaining the majority in the Senate?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz takes his seat and then the Democrats eject Rubio into the asteroid belt, where he will grow in power over a century and come back to take revenge in an event known as the second impact.
That reminds me wasn't Trump supposed to give a speech in response to her big one against him? Did that ever happen?
Too many unknowns right now. He might not run. He might lose the primary against Beruff (rich businessman running as a populist/anti-politician Trump type). He was pictured shaking Obama's hand yesterday - might sink him like it did Crist. Beruff might run third party if he loses the primary. Trump is dragging downballot Republicans down (and Rubio knows this).
I think that was the New Hampshire speech back on Monday?
Clinton's campaign knows that they are (or were) on unfavorable terrain after the shooting in Orlando, so their strategy was to match Trump in everything he did. For every phoner he did to the media, Clinton called in later. For every interview he did, Clinton had one. For every speech Trump gave, she gave one too. I don't think in their wildest dreams that Trump would so completely screw up what's a normally a slam dunk for Republican candidates.
People said he was done after he got embarrassed this year. It just isn't true. People do not remember this stuff to begin with but more importantly republicans would vote for a literal sack of shit. They do not care.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
"Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have piled on outrage after Hillary Clinton condemned the weekend slaughter in Orlando and directly linked the oil-rich monarchies to the funding of terrorism."
Of course on reddit, Sanders supporters jumped all over this, saying Clinton should "return their money" and she is only saying this since "Sanders said it first". Of course, the earlier cable leak shows Clinton has been of this opinion for a while now.
This led to the most succinct summary of that subset of Hardcore Sanders Supporters i've ever read, in the comments:
https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/...bia_upset_after_hillary_clinton_links/d4cur3q
It's obviously coming from someone who dislikes Clinton, but his underlying point is solid.
The question that's tougher to answer, did Sanders help create these supporters, or were they always this way?
I think he tapped into supporters that were already this way.

Listen, I've said this time and time again. Sanders' true believers are mostly now just Ron Paul/Ralph Nader types, Green party voters, non-voters and 18-24 year old's - i.e. baby's first competitive national primary. They'll believe anything - true or not - that backs up their pre-conceived ideas about Clinton that they all came up with in their little bubble, and will retaliate against anyone who challenges them. Sanders calling for a new generation of elected officials that mirror them is... laughable. Also scary!

On Fox News, Sandra Smith was arguing with Geraldo Rivera and said "All guns are not weapons."
