lol Mark Sanford has entered the GOP race. You might remember this guy as the governor of SC who disappeared off the radar for a week while having an affair.

Watch “The Family” on Netflix. He’s featured prominently in the second episode.

Remember when u of m flew that skywriter over Spartan Stadium in 2013 while we were playing Youngstown State?

I think Trump is stealing their idea. He's planning to fly a Trump banner over the debates in Houston tonight.

What a fucktard.

The general election is the time to make a persuasive case for the party’s pick. Donald Trump—spoiler alert—will talk vicious, nasty, cartoonish shit about the Democratic nominee no matter who it is or how hard a time that nominee had getting through the primaries, no matter what weaknesses the nomination process exposed or kept hidden. The legislative process will, as designed, water Warren’s newfound shorten-all-the-billionaires agenda into something less gory and more peacefully redistributive. What results will be something less than what anybody demanded in the primaries, whether they tried to demand the safest possible thing or not. There is no reason to start with that compromised position as an opening one, and then immediately get to work on negotiating it down.

Agree. I’m still on the Warren train. I love Kamala Harris, but I don’t feel like she’s delivering the message she wants to deliver. She comes across false. I do think Beto killed what little chance he had with his “Hell yes” rant.

Yang is still my favorite, but I could get on board with a Warren/Sanders or Sanders/Warren ticket and feel very good about it. I like some of the stuff I've learned about Mayor Pete lately, he'd probably be my fourth choice as of now.

Univision did a poll and head to head in Texas Castro beats Trump. Castro claims he can win Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Florida. I’ve weighed in how meaningless polls are at this point in the race but for 2020 but wondering if he can actually win those states? If he can rally Hispanic voters is he the best chance the dnc has for 2020? At the very least is he the best VP candidate?

Like I’ve been saying, eventually Texas, Florida, and LA flip. Once that happens it’s game over. The question is, do you go for them this election or not? I say do it. Trump is done anyway.

He isn't winning Florida. Florida Hispanics are dominated by Cubans, who A) Vote heavily Republican, and B) Ain't voting for someone named Castro in a million years.

Dangerous Donald must be feeing the heat.

Starting about 7:00 PM EST Tuesday the POTUS sent out a tweet(s) saying in current investigation is a “Coup”. To recap, in the last 72 hours Trump has tweeted about a civil war and now about a coup.

On the other hand maybe he really wants warren to be president because I can’t think of a better endorsement than “Zucks can’t stand the idea of her being president.” Similar to two weeks ago when some Wall Street folks were saying they don’t like her. That’s a hell of a good endorsement to receive.

Transitive property of politics will kick in noting Biden is 76 although Sanders’ health issues have nothing to do with Biden.

Seems like Bob Dole was deemed too old to be president when he last ran. He was 73 at the time. He's currently 96.

“Too old” doesn’t necessarily mean “will stay alive” as we see from the current presidents obvious daily mental decline.

I thought this was funny.

“Full disclosure: my sister used to work with Yang at Manhattan Prep, and my other sister’s husband is apparently some sort of distant cousin to him. If I were Yang, this is where I’d joke that this is proof that all Asian people are related to one another. That’s a bad, boring joke—it’s actually because all Taiwanese Americans know each other.”

I also think the comparisons with 2016s Bernie Bros is absolutely appropriate.

I agree, that was the best bit. I can't speak to YangGang vs. Bernie Bros, that comparison seems to be largely reddit/comment section based, and I try to avoid those.
