I'm imagining if Beto brought the fire like in that speech to a debate stage with Trump, and eviscerating him. I don't think he would hold back like he did with Cruz.
Maybe Grandma Tlaib is now an honorary member of the Squad.

Trump told reporters today that he's "the one calling the shots" on the general election debates, according to the WH pool report. That would be news to the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has overseen the process for decades.
Trump also "wouldn't directly answer if he won't debate in 2020," according to the pool report. Before 2016 gen election debates, Trump baselessly claimed the process was "rigged" against him and suggested he should be able to sign off on the moderators: https://bit.ly/2Lwq19A

"My worst polls have been coming from Fox. There's something going on with Fox, and I don't like it," President Trump says in NJ before heading back to DC. "Fox is making a big mistake because, you know, I'm the one who calls the shots" on the general election debates.

You can tell the lastest Fox polls have gotten under his skin. Get fucked cheeto breath! :D
It's too bad that Beto is terrible at, you know, debating.
Lol... I can't be the only one to get this feeling going into the OT sometimes.
Having seen the Book of Mormon, I'd rather talk to Elder Price than most of the people in some of those topics. He's open to learning.
It's telling which candidates do and do not have people rushing to post every new policy plan or speech.Lol... I can't be the only one to get this feeling going into the OT sometimes.
Amazing how everyone who pushes the "Russia was collusion" narrative also hates "Identity Politics" regardless of their stated place on the political spectrum.
A man who goes on Crowder and Shapiro's shows is crying about the Dems having their own news and facts?
I rarely say this, but Trump is playing the media on this one. He always plays the "will or won't I" about shit just to get attention, this just happens to be a topic the media is obsessed with as it drives news cycles for them. Yes, there is a legitimate chance he may skip one to do a rally, as we've seen it before. In a national election, though, it will be perceived as a sign of weakness, not strength.
"You scared, boy? Cuz you sound scared."
Its better when you remember this is his legal strategy as well.
Yeah, he plays chicken with them all the time on this. He knows that at a base level not showing up is not good for him politically, especially in a general election.
This definitely feels like a "people voting how they think other people will vote" situation. And Iowa is still 6 months away? 😩

The Post clearly in the tank for centrist neoliberal shrill Forma.

I'm assuming he'll just flat out not show up to the debates to be honest. He'll whine it's about how it will be rigged and unfair, when the obvious reason is that he'll probably be too afraid to actually debate anyone with his mental faculties clearly declining.
I don't think Trump has the self awareness nor humbleness to admit to himself he is no longer sharp or articulate (at least relative to how he once was). If he skips out on the debates it will be because of paranoia and fear rather than believing himself not capable.
Is there any way the winner of a poll like this would not be the most centrist, old white male candidate with high name recognition or the closest thing to that description?
idk but 50% is kind of immense. Anyway, that poll was taken before all of his gaffes at the fair. Prob won't move the needle much tho.
NYT still does plenty of good journalism, so I don't know I'd take that track.
The problem isn't that there's not anything good going on there, it's that they're consistently deciding to lead with the bad - which is damning in today's media environment.
It's simple: demand the firing or resignations of the editorial staff.
It's not even a left/right thing, it's mixing in fluff and access journalism with the light pieces and intrepid journalism dulling the effects of the latter (light pieces dont dull the uptake of hard-hitting pieces given that an article on dog shows is seperate from the dysfunctional and crooked WH whereas spit shining the shoe shined head of Miller isn't).
Is this the first time the words "Beto's lead" have been used in discussing this primary?
I feel like i see this exact line at least twice a week.
Sorry but it's starting to pile up.
I'm not saying don't cancel your subscription, I'm saying to do it because they're consistently making garbage editorial decisions, not because all reporting coming from NYT is bad.
Frankly, it doesn't matter how good some of their journalism is. If they've gotten to the point where they're romanticizing Stephen Miller on the front page and giving his rhetoric a platform, they've mortgaged any and all value they bring to the table as a news resource. They could close up shop tomorrow and the world would be better off for it.
The people that actually value journalism won't vanish off the face of the Earth if the NYT shut down. They would go elsewhere to platforms that would embrace their message. They don't need the NYT brand. The NYT brand is poison.
Same ole story. Dems like Warren, they're just afraid other people won't

I actually read the Miller piece, as I was hoping to gain some insight into how he somehow has so much influence. It didn't really sugarcoat anything but it also didn't call him a racist that he is. Side note: it makes sense that he worked for Michele Bachmann and Jeff Sessions.
Lol it's not "poison".
Also WaPo did an interview with Miller too???
Is it Stephen Miller Day or something.
