Oh no. I guess the entire Trump Orgs emails need to be subpoenaed to make sure nothing nefarious was involved.

Looks like Woodfin might pull an upset in the D v D mayoral runoff in Birmingham, AL.
Bell is the incumbent.

Looks like Mark Cuban went on a little 2020 tour earlier today. Were going to see a ton of these, right?
Primary is going to be insane. Cuban and Zuckerberg on a debate stage with Booker and Harris. And Lincoln Chafee and that one guy who bragged about killing someone.

Even if it's just 10% of boxes (precincts?) in, that kind of margin is hard to overcome.

Stupid Watergate.
Thing is though, this ain't the hard part.
Don't come back to this state, girl. Ever.
There's a difference in working on un-American positions (see above and Sessions' little projects at the DoJ) and taking advantage of serendipity when the baboon decides to stab both factions of the GOP in the back in a tiff.

Remember when the GOP had an undercard debate and Fiorina got fake hype from one of them? good times.
Woodfin's leading 62% to Bell's 37% right now: http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/i...ham_mayoral_runoff_live.html#incart_big-photo
I wonder how much the Bernie endorsement influenced voters.

Cuban isn't even a Democrat, why would he run in a Democratic primary where he'd have zero chance?

Anyone paying attention to the Albuquerque mayoral race? I'm hoping Keller wins tonight.

Conservative business man Mark Cuban is not Bernie Sanders.
It'd go a ways toward explaining the odd polling in the state.
I don't think so. I keep saying it, but after 4 years of Trump people might well be looking for a return to competence and not a left-wing Trump.

Michigan and Wisconsin should have never been as close as they were, and thats largely on the Clinton campaign. You still have to wonder what kind of impact these external factors had. ~30k votes across two states is not a lot.
Edit. I definitely think Cuban runs, and as a Democrat. I dont think he gets far at all though.

So does all of liberal gaf know yet that the Young Turks is a republican funded fake liberal trap to sow dissent in the democratic party. I mean it should be obvious now after they blamed Obama for the Vegas shooting yesterday. I mean they been getting millions of dollars from Republican financiers since 2014. They are disgusting.
They did what now?
I don't know about that. Obama won after 8 years of Dubya despite being much less qualified than Hillary or McCain
(I don't at all mean this as a slight against Obama)

You mean I was actually right in thinking they're conservative schlock in progressive clothing?
Obama was special. He was a once in a generation figure. No one we're talking about is anywhere near his level.
Well, that I agree with. I just meant in general I am not sure that experience will trump all
I mean, if an Obama pops up then he or she wins for sure. If not, people probably look for competence.

Takes money from politician to support political goals.

It is something inferred rather than in black and white.
I don't know what degree of funding that accounted for.
But it just screams using them as useful ideological idiots.

Does this have its own thread?
Bernie Sanders had literally zero mainstream following before 2016. There wasn't anything special about him. My point is just that running for a party you don't associate with or agree with isn't a death sentence anymore. Forget Bernie, ask President Donald Trump.
Or Bloomberg, or any number of rich people that have converted parties just to win an election
This is magically, dumber than I was expecting. I'm almost impressed someone so dumb could get a job that requires actual thought.

"Hundreds of thousands of voters in each state skewed by influx of racist shit from Russia designed to disrupt society and turn people against Democrats" does sound like it would be a hard thing to poll, and even if you could determining that that swayed anyone specifically. In other words, just add this to the list of "this specific thing didn't change the outcome of the election but it sure as hell didn't help."
Still wouldn't explain Feingold vs Johnson! That's an outlier of the election I don't think we'll ever have a proper answer for.
And lol, "I'm not blaming Obama for the shooting, but I'm totally blaming Obama." Disappointed TYT survived 2016.

I don't see what constituency Mark Cuban would have in a Democratic primary. It's not just a matter of the label, his politics and brand aren't going to appeal. His pro-business centrism is not with the mood of the party at all, he's the very opposite of Bernie in that regard.
If he's more charismatic then his competition, it won't matter.

The headline did end up being hyperbolic, but less hyperbolic than I was hoping for.
I guess they took most offense at "Welcoming the fact that many States are applying a moratorium on the use of the death penalty", and that it calls upon states that have yet to sign onto a protocol aiming at the abolition of the death penalty "to consider doing so". But I can't help but wonder if they were also taking offense to the parts saying it shouldn't be used disproportionately along class or racial lines, or used on the mentally ill.
In a statement defending the vote, the secretary of state's office did say they "condemn the use of the death penalty for conduct such as homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, and apostasy". However they did not address the other stuff in the resolution that might be seen as condemning the things that the US does.

Of those 10,000,000 people who saw the ads, is it possible they affected 0.1% of those peoples vote? Thats 10,000 people.
1%? Thats 100,000
Trump won by less than 60k across three pivotal states...
