Eh, I'd think at best you could convince them not to vote. I question the judgement of a group of people giving that dipshit a 90% approval rating despite primarily voting against his contender.

I graduated high school in West Virginia in 1984. For the most part, my friends who left, or at least traveled out of state at some point, are the liberals, and the ones who stayed behind are the conservatives. There is no faster path to progressive ideals than meeting a cross-section of people and culture.
They're really running out the clock at this point unless they void the July 4th Recess.

Which they won't. They need to run that clock out.

The FBI Won't Release Comey's Trump Memos Because They're Part Of "Law Enforcement Proceedings"
The FBI will not release memos written by former director James Comey on his interactions with President Trump because they're part of a "pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding."
BuzzFeed News requested the memos under the Freedom of Information Act. At least one of the memos is unclassified.
But, the FBI said, the memos' release could "reasonably interfere with enforcement proceedings."

Didn't even realize that Trump's twitter rant today could be seen as a form of obstruction against Rosenstein. Good shit.

I've been saying for a while now that the Trump voters who are your best targets for flipping are the ones who mostly voted for Trump as an antiHillary vote.

Sure, but I don't feel great about discounting any poll that people don't like.
Especially if they were Obama voters.

Looks like Argo.

Considering last year I think this is a very good approach.
That being said there are many structural and contextual advantages for Northam that I'm not too worried about a couple of tied/near-tied polls taken right after the primary. If this continues in say, September or October then I'll start worrying.
I just really hope Northam has decent enough coattails to make up good ground in the VA House, though I'm not expecting him to flip it.

Argo.
Is there an accompanying article or did this just get info dumped?
Really? What's the gist?

They just dropped it out. Think it is a normal thing it is 90+ pages if you find anything e-mail a reporter for the credit.
Ah, thanks. Seems to be a regular public release.

It is. Nothing special that we know of.

Unsurprising but awful: the trans candidate for House of Delegates in Virginia has been consistently misgendered by her Republican opponent (he sponsored the "bathroom bill" in Virginia).
It's a 55-40 Clinton district.

McConnell's ability to "play the game" is so fucking overrated. He hides from the public. What a mastermind.

I dunno, hiding from the public would have spared Trump an impeachment.

Eh, I would call it more than that. It's also that McConnell knew the one strategy that could prevent the democrats from continuing to win after 2008. He knew what bills he needed to make sure absolutely ZERO republican senators were allowed to support. He was behind all the bullshit "well if you do this, MAYBE we'll support the ACA" facades that Republican senators pulled that wasted time and resources.
And McConnell also has figured out what shit he can get away with and not be punished for. Such as refusing to even give a hearing for Garland.
And the other thing is that while Paul Ryan and John Beohner never had full control of their house because of the HFC, McConnell has a VERY tight grip on his Senators.

President Donald Trump has added another high-profile lawyer to his personal legal team as the special counsel investigation heats up.
John Dowd, who investigated Pete Rose for Major League Baseball and represented John McCain during the Keating Five Scandal, among other high-profile clients, has joined the president's legal team, according to two people familiar with the pick. Dowd declined to comment Friday.

Because every day is oppo day Plinko, I mean, duh. Have you not seen the copious oppo we've had in our lives the last couple months? It's Pavlovian at this point.
I think it's entirely a matter of 5 o'clock entrainment over the last month.

Yeah, an oppo-drop is the only way I can get hard now.
