Reread back a bit. What I said, is that if you have 100% name rec, cash spending is nowhere near as effective. The people close to 100% name rec? Warren, Biden, Sanders. Not Steyer and Butti. It goes without saying that when people know you exist, they're more likely to vote for you. At the point where they don't, advertising is mighty helpful.
People already know who Biden and Sanders are. It's correct that plastering Iowa with ads is going to have diminishing returns the more people recognise you.
And while Pete, Sanders, Warren, Yang campaign in Iowa - Biden will spending time trying to raise money for SC, CA, NY... where? certainly not in Iowa
Him being one of the dumbest mofos in Congress means he is perfect to lead the House Republican caucus of stooges.
Yah. Yall do that. That'll stop the poll number slide.
To repeat: he only has that position cuz no one else wanted the bag of feral rats that is the 2019 GOP House Caucus, and was laughed off when he wanted the 2015 Speakers' position.
No, I'm suggesting that Biden was friends with James Eastland and still likes him to this day so Biden personally took the "I'm a card carrying democrat who wants to help all other democrats" thing that his staffer mentioned maybe a bit too far
My point is that Biden can sit on his ass and barely spend anything until election day and still have a good chance at winning. And Sanders could spend a trillion dollars on ads and be in the same spot he is now. Warren isn't quite as saturated, but she's close, fortunately for her she's in a position to win at this point. If Butti was at 100% name rec? I dunno where he'd be, because he isn't.
Movement in the future is going to come from news stories, interviews and foot in mouth moments as well as the also-rans dropping out and their voters finding new homes. Also, Butti might drain voters from Warren and Biden as he rises, but I don't see him staying in if he doesn't win one of the first three states.

"But it wasn't CORRUPT Quid Pro Quo."
I know Ben Shapiro should just be ignored, but his adept ability of self-owning is just remarkable

Pete is doing fundraisers too.
You do need money to sustain a campaign, mainly for staffing.
Biden's money woes are that no one seems to actually be excited about him - his unitemized contributions suck. They're just kind of okay about it. Like Hillary was raising large sums from a mix of sources.
So if Biden's fundraising continues to suck he'll just cut back on promotion and focus on organising I assume.

I haven't looked but, as a black person myself, I can't imagine why they would have
The goalposts will be to Pluto by December with all of these chucklefucks.
The Kamala loathing is strong on Era. It's Kamala eating crackers all day.

Apparently, Trump is currently holding a rally here in MS. Had no idea. I knew Shithead Jr. was supposed to be here. I'm actually morbidly curious about what he's barfing up this time.
I read this interesting article last night...
Hope I didn't quote too much.
Hope I didn't quote too much.
"Growing number of Senators moving to next section of the Narcissist's Prayer"
They are pretty much already at the point of "there was quid pro quo, but that's normal, and it would be illegal in this case if Trump realized he stood to gain personally, but he didn't, so it's ok."
Not sure there is even any more room or nuance left? "Biden won't even be/isn't the nominee so it doesn't even matter"?
I never suggested Harris should drop out, I doubt her being in the race is affecting Warren. I'm merely stating that a candidate that is bleeding money and now doing the classic candidate hail mary of cutting all staff and presence after Iowa is a) doomed to failure and b) in the event of a miracle, has no presence to take advantage of later states. We see this every 4 years. But the dream dies hard.
And it goes without saying all the zero percenters should drop out. Why even mention them.
(by the way Harris was my preferred candidate after the Kav hearings, until it became clear she could not run a winning campaign)
And he also ended with his "Beat him like drum" catchphrase lol. He makes it sound like Trump is only reason he's running.
(Which may well be the case, but he's hardly even pretending that he has an actual vision beyond that)
He really said it twice too. He is truly awful off script.
Didn't he do that at an event earlier this year too?
He's still using it?
I mean I love the song, but dude...
Lol it's the first I've seen of it. He was singing the lyrics, so fucking cringey
Yeah I misread your post a bit. He walked out to the song at least once earlier this year. Dunno if he sang that time. Embarrassing.
What streams are you guys watching? I'm watching the NBC News one on YouTube and it's very echoey
Speak for yourself, I like Harris.
I'd certainly rather hear from Kamala in a debate than Amy Downer.
But her campaign suuuuuuuuucks. Sorry if that's hard for you to hear
This episode of Maddow is fascinating tonight, all about quid pro quo with Ukraine going back to the start of 2017, and how the FBI has now confirmed that Flynn is full of BS. Catch it later or sometime over the weekend.
No I agree. She is a poor campaigner as is Beto a poor debater. She does get unnecessarily piled on fire since reason though.
There really are only 3 viable options: Biden, Warren and Sanders (with Sanders the least likely of the three). The others are polling too poorly and Butti has zero chance of going anywhere near the nomination without the African American vote.
Seriously this guy is dumber than a bag of fucking rocks. It's beyond pathetic
Apparently my uncle isn't the craziest motherfucker on this local city council! Tbh I thought it was going to be him when I saw the headline and before I clicked on the link.
He is a longtime member of the city council and it will be hilarious if he loses. It would be even better if my uncle, a Trumper, loses.
