???????????Is this real? Halarious!Looks like a skit from SNL. These people have no shame.

I think Trump may be in trouble in those other states. The danger of course is that a Democrat certainly could drop the ball here...big scandal after winning the nomination, etc.
This is one reason why the House really should begin impeachment proceedings as soon as possible. We need to have these public hearings first, but they should move swiftly to do those and then move forward with impeachment proceedings. Elizabeth Warren is right on this. If Republicans in the Senate want to acquit this horrible man, then they need to vote that way and live with the potential consequences of that vote.
Agree about Ohio - it's becoming more like Indiana. Weird. What do you think happened? Obama won Ohio twice, without much strain. Now it's not even close. I think. Weird switch.
Lots of blue collar workers here. In some areas as Bible belty as the South. Ohio has long been a swing state...goes with the wind.

Many Nobel Peace prize winners have a dark past from their time before the recognition. In her case, crimes against humanity occurred (or became known) afterward. I was in the refugee camps in Bangladesh recently. Roughly one million people (all Muslim) have fled ethnic violence in Myanmar, evidently at the hands of Hindu groups and her government, in what looks like a genocide on the scale of Cambodia in the 70s and Rwanda in the 90s, vastly outstripping that of the former Yugoslav republics in the 90s.
Her god(s) or the ICC will eventually judge her, but meanwhile I think it’s clear her name doesn’t belong on that list.
Diving into the Morning Consult daily polls:
https://morningconsult.com/2020-democratic-primary/
Scroll down to the name recognition and favorability and you see where beyond Sanders, Biden and Warren people just have no clue who these candidates are.
22% or more have NEVER HEARD of Beto or Harris or Booker.
36% have NEVER HEARD of Buttigieg.
It’s like I’ve said....nothing matters until everyone is on the same stage and until the first primaries/caucuses.
The vast majority of voters are mindless sheep. That’s just how it is and how it’s always been.
If you can go in front of people, give great speeches, answer their questions intelligently and more importantly CONNECT with “the people” then you will win...Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton all simply connected better with “the people”.

“Trump 2020: there are good people on both sides of mass shootings!”
Also....unless you can prove Trump had “criminal intent” there’s no way to prove he obstructed anything.
Trump and company will fight every subpoena from Congress until 2020+.
I think the sure bet for Trump is to continue to frame the investigation as a coup and witch-hunt and to continue to frame all of the Dem candidates as scary socialists.
The economy could stay steady or it could turn. I think Trump knows this. He knows his game is one of mud-slinging and pulling emotional strings. If he bets it all on the economy it could turn he he would be sunk (think HW Bush), if he just continues the Us vs Them dynamic he knows that’s his best play.

And MSNBC & CNN doesn't blindly support the Dem party candidate or Dem POTUS no matter what?
Come on, man.

Bush 41's fatal mistake was breaking his "read my lips...." promise on not raising taxes. Trump will not do that.

Trumpers have SHOT more people than that, which won’t help trump win an election or parole.
Staffers leaving, etc. He might be out of his depth here lol.

Beto is trying to hone his message and his tone out of the spotlight, so it is clear and crisp and practiced when the spotlight hits him. At the debates and town halls.
Seriously. It may work, it may not, but that's the plan.
But anyway, Mayor Pete is the new Beto. I've switched over to Pete for now. Anyone but Warren or Bernie tho.

Apologies if this was posted earlier, but Judge Nap (of FOX NEWS) lays the wood on Trump:

Interesting.
It looks like Judge Nap feelings were hurt. No wonder he hates Trump now. He wanted to be on the Supreme Court and get his friend pardoned, Trump said no to both.

Mayor Pete is too gay for a lot of Americans...correction, for a lot of Americans who actually VOTE. Call it what you want, that’s just reality. It will always be the pink elephant in the room.
I don’t know much about Beto’s UNLV fiasco, unless he just didn’t realize the university would be a ghost town on Friday or if he planned it that way.
I still think he’s got a good shot. Both B. Clinton and Obama were counted out too early.

He is too gay? As in flaming? My problem with him is that he is too young and inexperienced. He should wait 10 years and become a senator or governor in the meantime.
You seem like a reasonable person; does him being gay make him unvaible to you as candidate? I would have thought anyone put off by him being gay wouldn't vote for a Democrat in any scenario.

Alan gave me the idea to look through this website. Amazing stuff, that shows how hard it will be for spanky to win. Approval ratings for him have collapsed in key states. Supportes of the naked guy who likes being spanked by porn stars will have to spend a fortune in many, many places.
Here's a sample of key states and how approval ratings have fallen. First number is at the inauguraation, second is now.
WI: +6 to -12
MI: +7 tp -12
PA: +10 to -7
AZ: +19 tp -6
FL: +22 tp -2
NV +10 to -10
FL: +22 to -2
even OH: +14 to -5
Sure, these are not votes, and people will hold their nose to vote for the R even if he is unpopular. But geez, I'd hate being a Spankist strategist looking at that map. American truly hates this president.
If I were a betting man (which I am not), I would not bet that OH and FL will go for the Democrat. Ohio maintains support for Jim Jordan, one of the most mouth-breathing people in the Senate.

Flagpole, you are sounding like a slobbering idiot. The Mueller report proved there was no collusion. Are you really that dense? Can you not read something and understand it? Trump never colluded with the Russians and he never conspired with them and he never obstructed justice. Come one dude - are you really this ignorant?

And the Barr Summary confirmed there was no collusion and NO obstruction. Come on man - get it together!

Why do you lie to us? I mean really. You know as well as anyone that the Mueller Report specifically did not say there was no obstruction. You know that. Why repeat your lie over and over? Serious question. We're not exactly friends, but we are buddies arguing politics. Usually people stop lying to buddies, to show good faith. You have chosen to keep lying, So...why, Sally? Why? And such a cheap lie.
