US PoliEra 2020 |OT 2| Dershowitz says "Quid Pro Quo on the Go?" [See Staff Post]

Feels like this will be the last cycle with caucuses (and maybe with Iowa first). We shouldn't have another contested primary for 8 years so the DNC got plenty of time to come up with shit.
Maybe Nevada should just go first. The problem with Illinois and Florida is that Chicago and Miami are probably a lot more expensive for ads.

Was it ever?
Like when Teddy Roosevelt beat Taft in the Rebuplican Nomination in 1912 but gave it to Taft anyway?
Problems with a poll show the divide in the Democratic party, so says a Fox News chyron. (Seems like part of their ongoing strategy to scare people with Sanders, having someone on to talk about it who was identified as a "former Sanders 2016 campaign staffer")
Out of the stuck-in-DC candidates, I think Klobuchar is the one who has made the most out of TV appearances from the halls of the capitol. Multiple networks, steadier commentary than the debates, she knows how to give a 5-minute interview without getting long-winded in explanations. It seems like part of a long game rather than trying to outright seize the first few states, but at least it got networks to finally show her on the ground in Iowa this weekend.

I think Bloomberg will just run anti-Trump ads on his own dollar indefinitely.
Lucky you, I get Bloomberg's ad in Orlando every commercial break.
Bloomberg would be better off running ads in key Senate races because that's where we'll need the most help if Sanders is the nominee Lord help us.
Imagine having cable TV and getting swarmed by campaign ads every day for the next 11 months
you poor fools
you poor fools
Biden interview this morning.
Hes in for a rude awakening if he wins the nom.

Holy Shit. I continue to hate myself being right
The world is fucked if he wins.
His hate-boner for Bernie and apparently new found respect and admiration for Trump is awful and super obvious. All last week he was spewing "nobody but Biden can beat Trump and even then Trump is surging in popularity" bullshit during the impeachment coverage. The other hosts just look at him like he's crazy and senile.
Bloomberg is on YouTube, Hulu, and Twitter as well. lol.
His climate bill can pass by reconciliation.
That's all I truly need from him. Not to dismiss the immediate needs of healthcare, education or immigration but addressing climate change is literally existential for the human race to a degree that those other issues are not.
The funniest outcome would be Trump losing and Bloomberg continuing to air anti-Trump ads long after the election.
Joni Ernst existing as an elected official is enough for me any day of the week
I'm not paying for Youtube Red on my phone. Ads are unavoidable on mobile.
Will Manchin vote for his climate bill though? Seems like the area he'd be annoying on.
Here is the thing about Biden
The people (centrists/swing voters) who want him in know that he's
1: White old man who you can have a beer with
2: Not insane and won't make you constantly remember he's POTUS every waking moment of your life
3: Feigns bipartisanship even though I actually believe he's fully aware that he will face obstructionism if he doesn't receive a majority Senate. This is for the centrists and moderates who really think the parties can "come together" or some shit.
A lot of folks just want to bring someone back into the office to run the country and bring back normalcy, Biden is inherently the candidate that does that.
And for people who really want shit done, Biden is currently the best chance to achieve a trifecta, which does have some major sway to people who are politically active.
Manchin isn't up for election till 2024, he's going to be a good little soldier and vote for anything that needs his vote.

I think Manchin would be genuinely opposed enough to Biden's climate proposal that he'd vote against it, even though I usually give him the benefit of the doubt that he'd come through for us on other big Dem priorities.
That just makes it all the more important that Biden (or, as always, whoever the nominee is) carries enough states and Senate seats that legislation doesn't live or die by Manchin's support. Get to 51 seats? You can lose Manchin's vote. 52? Tester's. 53? Sinema's, and so on and so forth. Margins are important.
Normalcy as in, trying to get a Neo Liberal elected, get a Republican and then get a enthusiastic Democrat and continue to stupid cycle until the world burns
Idk why you think he would feign bipartisanship now, when we've seen him as VP for 8 years not feigning it.
I hope Bernie wins tonight, or that he loses decisively.
Because I do not want to start the first day of the primaries with bullshit conspiracy theories about him being robbed.
I mean, granted, I've already been hearing that nonsense, but it still digs up shit for me from 2016, because that really felt like the start of everything going wrong. I guess after last Friday, I'm not really ready for this to be finally happening.
Ah well. Ready or not, here it comes.

Imo I think Pete will win the most total delegates, and Bernie will win the popular vote tonight. We'll see I guess...
Yes, the best polling person is currently someone who is an established politician.
That's going to happen no matter what and you know it
If he wins he defeated the attempts at sabotage
If he loses its rigged.
I've said this before, but watching election results come in live is like being awake during surgery.
Weaver is on MSNBC right now hinting that the DNC is starting to try to rig shit.
It's already fucking happening.
