That doesn't actually address the point that there are still voters who disliked Hillary and voted for Obama and given his numbers in November 2016, probably still felt the same way even if they voted for Trump.You're always more popular when not running for office.

What are you talking about?
Obama left office at 55% approval while Hillary has been at around 35% approval for months.

Nothing straighter than a sleeveless sailor and a bearded hipster drinking together!Is that a real mural? Can I purchase a replica?
Yeah, and again, Republicans also think Obama attempted to sabotage Trump's presidency.
You're crazy if you don't think Obama is still a sore spot for Republicans.

This will sound awful(?), but I seriously don't know if someone at his age + health is going to pull that off.He just masturbated all over the framed picture of his electoral map after he wrote that.
ftfyJill Stein 2012 -> 2016
PA: .37% -> .81%
WI: .25% -> 1.04%
MI: .46% -> 1.07%
Were they all Bernie voters? idk. But yes, yes they were.

Bc nothing matters. Like actually.Remember when the President gave that classified Israeli intel to the Russians? Did he ever get in trouble for that? I don't get how that was only a scandal for, like, three days.
Partly because a selfish egotist fanned the flames of a corrupt primary months after he had no chance to win the primary.
Once the math was showing it was over, though, she completely laid off negative attacks.Hillary ran a preeeeeetty disgusting and divisive primary against Obama in 2008, so there's arguably something karmic about it, in that sense.

Everything else hes done [in office] has been a complete disaster, he said. Hes still learning how to be President.
I did not say that the Presidents policies were a disaster, he said. I did not say that the Presidents agenda was a disaster. What I was referring to was the execution of the Presidents agenda and the Presidents policies. And frankly I think there have been a number of missteps, unforced errors that the President has made and I think the White House would agree that theyve had their share of mistakes as the President learns to be the President.
I wake up every day, drink my morning coffee and say hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, he said at the KPMG conference, referring to his decision to leave Congress when he did.

People jump all over me when I say this - but we don't have a functioning oversight arm. The GOP not gonna do anything.
All this does is chip away at his favorability. Which is fine, but nothing's happening til 2018.
They don't need to get people furious. They already are.The lack of functioning oversight is definitely an issue, but I don't see how anything will happen even after 2018 when the Democratic party can't get people furious about this stuff. There's so much real fodder here that Kathy Griffin and Twitter typos shouldn't even show up on people's radar.

It was a brutal bloody fistfight, but they still hugged it out at the end.
Torpedo your president in a highly public meltdown of leadership right before the midterms? That's not what the doctor ordered!BS. Trump is a ticking time bomb. GOP will want to end Trump sooner rather than later so that Trump/Russia doesn't start implicating the rest of the GOP leadership. That's why the senate has been willing to investigate things to some degree.
Bernie deliberately kept asking for delays on filing tax documents, and then never had to because he pulled out.True, but I tend to think Bernie probably bought the "Bernie math" stuff for a decently long time and then went a few extra weeks to try to build up the progressive wing of the party and affect change in the DNC, itself, which I don't think is that huge of a deal, considering the relatively short memory of the general voting public in the era of 24/7 news. Some of the polling seemed to indicate Bernie primary voters flipped to Hillary in numbers equaling or exceeding those of Hillary to Obama at comparable points in time, and he campaigned for her (and against Trump) pretty hard when the actual general campaign season rolled around. The Bernie or Busters appear to be trivially small, in terms of impact, compared to the Obama -> Trump voters, and the typically non-voting rural whites who showed up.

He knew exactly what he was doing, he just thought he could have his cake and eat it too.

NY Post said:The Justice Department has gotten a warrant from the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court also known as the FISA court to conduct electronic surveillance on a group of journalists whove been the recipient of leaked information, the source said.
The journalists are not the target, according to my source and I say, thank goodness for that. Instead, the Trump administration is looking for the leaker. Who could it be?
Some in the administration are focusing on a retired, high-ranking military officer who held important posts in the intelligence service, according to the source.
The possibly high-ranking leaker was getting some of his information from people inside the White House who were holdovers from the Obama administration, the source said.
Those White House leakers said to be three people have either already been fired or will soon be, the source claims.
And these cases, Im told, have been turned over to the Justice Department for possible prosecution.
Honestly, even I'm not so sure. The way that the hearings just have the GOP frantically, and almost in an ironclad fashion, focusing on "unmasking" when the country could be potentially being fucking RULED BY A FOREIGN POWER RIGHT NOW is just killing me.
I'm so fucking exhausted from all this shit.
I wish someone other than the NY Post had this, but I still think it's worth at least bringing up here If I get a better source I will make a thread:
NY Post: The government is spying on journalists to find leakers
This seems less than ideal.
Well yeah. Eventually someone was going to get caught. Looks like Trump's people might have figured out three of the leakers.
But the thing is that we know that the Intel and FBI leaks weren't just coming from 3 people. We also know that it's not just Obama era IC people who hate Trump.
The leaks won't stop just because a few leakers were caught. Trump would basically have to fire the entire IC to stop the leaks.
Why would Trumps war room have a talking about that? And why so soon?
I think most of Bernie's support centered on there being an incredibly weak field of candidates, and one establishment pick that was so distasteful to so many people. Bernie was the only alternative for people who didn't like Hillary, basically. In a better field (say for instance, if Biden had run) I don't believe his campaign would have "taken off" the way it did. While I do not think Biden would have won the nomination, I fully believe he would have won the Iowa caucus, with Hillary coming in second. Bernie coming in third right out the gate would have set a narrative that would last throughout, IMO.
Personally I just don't believe the Bernie "coalition" is as focused on anti-establishment/anti Wall St/anti money/etc as advertised. I'm sure you noticed how many hardcore Bernie fans here would often say they would have voted for Biden if he ran. I think this generally boils down to people not standing Hillary Clinton and wanting alternatives - everything else is a narrative created after that fact.
We'll see this in 2020, if Bernie runs. The field will be significantly better and Bernie will trot out the exact same tired campaign and puzzling decisions (like, you know, completely ignoring the south). It won't work. I'm sure a segment of hardcore Bernie fans will be outraged if say Booker or Harris becomes the nominee, but it won't matter. The good thing about 2020 is that none of the major candidates are as flawed as Hillary Clinton.
Why? Because that talking point has worked for literally everything Trump has done. "It's not illegal to do X" is kind of their thing now. It's how he's able to keep his business ties and no one gives a shit. Honestly at this point that's what I'd tell the team to lightly spread around. That way if/when it ever does come out the groundwork is laid for why it's not so bad anyway.

Call me crazy but we shouldn't just give up on West Virginia.Good news: Illinois passed automatic voter registration and Rhode Island is well on its way to having it. Georgia and West Virginia have a form of it already, and many states are considering broadening their registration avenues this year.
It's not that they caught the leakers, it's that they issued surveillance warrants against the press. That is a direct assault on the First Amendment and could have a massive chilling effect on journalists communicating with sources.

It was Trump's best state points wise but it also had the lowest turnout of eligible voters
im a little crazy
I think if the next Democratic president creates a Green New Deal and uses a lot of that money to transform Appalachia and restore their communities that it might have a chance after that.Call me crazy but we shouldn't just give up on West Virginia.
