The best shot the NV GOP had was Heller running for gov and Sandoval running for Senate and now they're stupid for not doing that.

 

[Plinko]

Would be amazing if they passed a bill they all hated. Would they then campaign on, "Well, I hated the bill when we passed it?" even when they voted for it?

I detect research is being done.

 

[kirblar]

I wouldn't want to run for Senate under the GOP banner this cycle. Sandoval's better off waiting to challenge later.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

John Delaney is running for president.

He's a House Rep from Maryland who has no profile and has the most boring ideas ever.

The GOP basically has no good outcomes. They really painted themselves in a corner.

Hey, they were for it before they were against it, OK?

 

[Autodidact]

"I wasn't against it until I was against it" sounds like some long-lost Yogi Berra quotation.

It's 2017, what the heck is he hoping to do now?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Almost certain to run:

Martin O'Malley
John Delaney
Mark Zuckerberg
Kamala Harris
Joe Biden
Steve Bullock

We're at 6 candidates six months into Trump's presidency.

"We did the best we could" with a ¯\_(&#12484_/¯ at the end.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Is Biden really almost certain? I feel like he would be a shoe-in to win.

 

[Plinko]

Is Biden really almost certain? I feel like he would be a shoe-in to win.

I feel that Biden vs. Harris would stretch quite a bit into the primary season.

 

[Teggy]

If McCain votes for this circus show he should be shamed in every possible way imaginable. Democrats should troll him from here to eternity.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Is Biden really almost certain? I feel like he would be a shoe-in to win.

If he's still in good health by then I'd almost guarantee it. He deeply regrets not running.

 

[Autodidact]

If McCain votes for this circus show he should be shamed in every possible way imaginable. Democrats should troll him from here to eternity.

But then the Compassionate Moderates won't vote for them: "Look, I support Democratic policies, but that was just too much."

 

[BoogieWoogie]

If McCain votes for this circus show he should be shamed in every possible way imaginable. Democrats should troll him from here to eternity.

McCain actually said he wouldn't vote for the Skinny Repeal but we know what a lying asshole the Maverick is.

 

[Officerrob]

Almost certain to run:

Martin O'Malley
John Delaney
Mark Zuckerberg
Kamala Harris
Joe Biden
Steve Bullock

We're at 6 candidates six months into Trump's presidency.

Booker is 100% running

 

[Kusagari]

Gillibrand is no longer a lock?

 

[chadskin]

Spoiler

(-:

 

[metalslimer]

I feel that Biden vs. Harris would stretch quite a bit into the primary season.

Yeah that's actually an interesting natch up. It honestly would depend on who else is running late though. Gillibrand would take more Harris. I just hope to dear god someone hits the threshold and doesn't have SDs deciding

 

[sc0la]

This is your daily reminder that if Reid and Pelosi were in charge of the republicans this would have been finished weeks ago.

Almost certain to run:

Martin O'Malley
John Delaney
Mark Zuckerberg
Kamala Harris
Joe Biden
Steve Bullock

We're at 6 candidates six months into Trump's presidency.

Can't wait to see 36+/- candidates on the dem primary debate stage.

 

[Mac_Lane]

Graham: "This place holder concept, the skinny bill, will destroy insurance markets and not even remotely replace Obamacare"

I'm hoping Lindsey finds his balls and votes against this abomination.

 

[RumbleHumble]

I was away for all of about 30 minutes...

What the fuck is happening?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Gillibrand is no longer a lock?

Gillary and Booker are very likely!

But the six above are already trying to raise money for 2020 or are doing weird tours of Iowa or are wishing they ran for president.

I'm just saying that we will probably end up with 15-20 candidates.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

I'm hoping Lindsey finds his balls and votes against this abomination.

"But I'll vote for it anyway!"

I was away for all of about 30 minutes...

What the fuck is happening?

Turtle is lying about a committee even happening and the House is prepping to just pass a skinny repeal once it goes through.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Can't wait to see 36+/- candidates on the dem primary debate stage.

There will surely be a kid's table debate for O'Malley tier candidates.

 

[Officerrob]

I'm hoping Lindsey finds his balls and votes against this abomination.

That's a hell of a quote to then turn around and vote for it

 

[Kusagari]

So Graham has now said the skinny repeal will be a disaster and the worst possible outcome if it becomes law.

Please proceed.

 

[metalslimer]

So that should kill it right?

 

[You Know Nothing]

Chafee better run again or I'll be very disappointed!

 

[RumbleHumble]

Turtle is lying about a committee even happening and the House is prepping to just pass a skinny repeal once it goes through.

I know there's worse Republicans than Mitch McConnell, but sometimes it's hard to remember that when shit like this goes down.

 

[B-Dubs]

So that should kill it right?

Depends on if he's just posturing or will really vote against it.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

So that should kill it right?

If you can believe a member of the GOP is telling the truth, SURE.

 

[Blader]

Gillibrand is no longer a lock?

I think she's pretty likely to run, but, like Sherrod Brown, has to run for re-election in '18 first and that may preclude them from running in 2020 (if, for instance, either or both of them calculate that they need to pledge not to run for president to help their Senate re-election campaigns). That seems like it'd be more of an issue for Brown than Gillibrand, though.

 

[RumbleHumble]

If you can believe a member of the GOP is telling the truth, SURE.

God help us all, we're relying on Lindsey Graham to save Obamacare...

Priebus about to be shown the door (duh)

https://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarr...s-are-numbered?utm_term=.gvEJr60ab#.ryr2vOylM

Just in the last 24 hours, new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has all but accused Priebus of being the source of leaks that damage the administration and infuriate the president. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to publicly express confidence in the chief of staff during Thursday's press briefing. And instead of defending Priebus, senior White House officials now tell BuzzFeed News that Priebus' days appear to be numbered.

Privately, Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, has told people that Priebus is "gone" and that he is trying to figure out his next steps, a source with knowledge said. Her message is that White House staffers who had come from the Republican National Committee, which Preibus ran before being named chief of staff, are out and the administration is "going back to Trump loyalists."

 

[RumbleHumble]

White House is now campaigning against trans a a "psychological disorder":

How many steps are they from taking the Silence of the Lambs and calling it a documentary?

 

[Blader]

Ugh, Podesta is on PSA today. Not sure if I can stomach whatever excuse he has for clicking on a phishing link.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

Priebus about to be shown the door (duh)

https://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarr...s-are-numbered?utm_term=.gvEJr60ab#.ryr2vOylM

I said this last night. Trump, fire Sessions and Preibus in the same week. Do it. You know you want to.

Piss off all the GOP in Congress.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Good god. How many times did they have him on?

 

[RumbleHumble]

Any word on when this actual vote on the skinny bill will begin?

 

[nature boy]

I said this last night. Trump, fire Sessions and Preibus in the same week. Do it. You know you want to.

Preibus has nobody defending him, don't expect any outrage if he's fired/quits.

 

[kirblar]

Conway's pretty much the leaker supreme, so this is probably on the money.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Preibus has nobody defending him, don't expect any outrage if he's fired/quits.

It's just the fact he's given up on his Chief of Staff after 6 months. That title being canned is what will make it a shitshow I think.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Mooch to be Chief of Staff then?

Wonder who becomes Comm Director then?

 

[Tranqueris]

Priebus is "gone" and that he is trying to figure out his next steps

Next steps:

Go on Hannity and defend Trump for firing him and say what a swell guy he is, and maybe read a script praising Mooch.

 

[Kusagari]

I don't know why the GOP aren't more outraged.

They're facing down the barrel of THE FUCKING MOOCH being chief of staff.

 

[jtb]

I wouldn't want to run for Senate under the GOP banner this cycle. Sandoval's better off waiting to challenge later.

Four years is a long time, though. Better to strike when the iron is hot when your stock is highest, rather than wait for an ideal environment that may never come (particularly if you think that NV is trending bluer). Almost always compete for an open seat than challenge an incumbent, too.

I mean, hope Heller sticks in! But we'll see.

Good god. How many times did they have him on?

Wait, what?

Podesta is a great, interesting guest to have on. And he's never been on the show before, as far as I can remember.

 

[Wilsongt]

I don't like this new, greater America.

It stinks.

 

[Blader]

Preibus has nobody defending him, don't expect any outrage if he's fired/quits.

Ryan just did today.
