Malloy was also incredibly unpopular, but won re-election. The other issue is that Connecticut's in the middle of an economic downturn, because after a long period of time when major companies were moving out to the suburbs to large campuses, they're heading back to city centers and a lot of companies had moved out to CT from NYC in the 70's and 80's.
The person to worry about in 2024 who can hold up the Trumpist label is Tucker. In fact, if I was an Establoshment Republican's, I'd hope Don Jr. & Tucker wins, so somebody blandly evil like Nikki Haley or Ron DeSantis can win.
I miss the days when having the capacity to reflect on and change your beliefs was a sign of maturity and strength of character.
800 Filipino teachers is nothing. According to BLS, in 2014 there was 3.5 million teacher positions alone. Now, are there shortages? Sure. The economy is good and people are making more money doing something else instead of teaching. If we go into a recession, then the teacher workforce will increase due to the job security.
This is the thing about teaching. Everyone thinks they can do it because they use to be a student. But not a lot go get a degree in it, get the certifications, want to give the cops their fingerprints for the background check, have to deal with crazy parents, pushy administrators, fill out tons of paper work for 504s and IEPs, stress about state testing, and do that all on salary while taking care of their own family. I have been teaching for 6 years and the job is not for everyone. And 50k in Chicago is nothing with the cost of living and high tax rate. I make 60k in the Dallas area but don't have to pay state income tax like they do.

Not allowed except for Bernie who can be forgiven for voting for the Crime Bill.
And who's excused for his genuinely bad positions on guns and was just quietly building a multi-racial coalition in 95% white Vermont all those years.
Being an ex-president will only make his grift an easier sell, if anything. I expect the most ardent cultists among his supporters will prop him up finanically for years to come. Which is absolutely fucking revolting, but so are the times we live in.
Is this in reference to anything specific?
Mostly deranged Bernie stans who portray Warren's having been a Republican and voting for Gerald Ford in '76 as a mark of the beast but will tell us that he's ~~~evolved~~~ or he didn't really mean it when he voted for the crime bill.
Men get to change and grow; women are scheming, dishonest, Reaganite harpies.

Weird that he would admit he's going to lose in 2020 and pull a Grover Cleveland in 2024
I would place a sizable bet on the next Republican nominee after Trump, whenever that is, being Nikki Haley.
Ron Desantis hasn't been a complete fuck up for Florida, just like 95 percent of one, I can see him running
I don't see the Trump base who now runs the party getting on board with her. The talk of her candidacy feels like a complete media creation.
I like the idea that the Republican was like, "Look you can't tell anyone I said this, or else I'll tell them about your penis"
The Trump base that "runs" the party will be gone when Trump is gone. Republican voters will fall in line with whoever the GOP tells them to vote for.
Honestly the real question is how long before the republicans discover the power of right wing populism
I think my favorite was arguing with a friend about it and he was like "well OF COURSE Bernie had to vote for the crime bill, because he supported the good parts that were in it!"
Isn't it great when your favored politician gets to only support the good parts of a shit sandwich bill, but a politician you don't like for unrelated reasons is solely responsible for the bad parts?
Same.
The Republican Party as it looks today won't get behind a "True Conservative" for a really long time.
Just as I refused to think about 2020 until after 2018, I refuse to think about 2024 until after next year - or, more likely, until after 2022.
trumps kids will be apart of the Republican party forever

"They were mistaken, it was someone else! But they did really see it, and I will not rest until I find out who it was! And then I will write a book called If I Did It"
Ugh.
I am so over the left's idolatry of purity tests that most of them wouldn't even pass.
Could be wrong, but is that not what Trump is? Or is what you're talking about different?
Eh... They didn't when Trump ran in 2016. It was definitely not his turn. Part of the base wanted Trump because he was finally their guy. They had to settle with moderates before, during 2016, they didn't have to. If someone runs on the nativist, right-wing populist rhetoric that Trump gave, the part of the Republican base will go towards that candidate.
Trump and his influence will likely remain an active force within Republican circles. The reason the establishment hated Trump at the start was because they lost control of the working class and rural voters. Someone else can easily do that again.
Every one of these people has an extensive and lurid porn history in their browser.
Isn't it only a part of the overall plan though? I'm not privy on this part of the economy, so I'd like to learn more about what is the right way to go about it.

Already deleted, but disgusting. Absolutely noxious publication.
Why even delete the tweet? They wasn't an accident. If you want right wing psycho's to read your paper then just target them, stop trying to play both sides.
Trump is going to be tweeting every day and endorsing candidates if he loses. The guy isn't going anywhere.
Did they mean "seems like harmless fun if you're a predator like our Supreme Court justice Kavanaigh" and they didn't have the space?
