Imagine actually listening to Van Jones
Doesn't speak for anyone but his own dumb ass self.

Nancy knows how to get attention today, good on her for beating Trump at his own game.
Maggie Haberman @maggieNYTHouse Sergeant-at-arms tried 2 keep the soldier whose return home was a surprise tonight from entering the gallery, saying door couldn't be opened bc of security concerns, per 2 ppl briefed- they said WH suggested First Lady would open it herself if needed https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/02/04/us/politics/live-state-of-union.html …

CNN has always been into the ceremonial bullshit, this shouldn't be a surprise.
And people thought the Sergeant-at-arms would arrest people for inherent contempt. Can't even keep the damn door closed
2017, 18, and 19 were all good election years though?
I don't know what the debates being split up over two nights has to do with not being to find their footing on their messaging. Beto came into the race with more of a national profile than most of the candidates, flopped on building a campaign, sucked in most of the debates, and unsurprisingly did not catch on in the polls. What about that has to do with two-night debates? Those are all his own faults. Pete came into the race as a nobody, built a strong campaign, performed well in the polls, and now won the Iowa caucuses.
Booker and Kamala were in the race for nearly a year, Beto about 6-7 months. If you can't articulate a core reason for running for president by then then I really don't think that can be blamed on the debate format or size of the field. Hopefully they internalize the lessons from this campaign and take another crack at it someday.
Nancy's finale and her tweet with the handshake is all I need to see of the SOTU. Typically I would skim a transcript of it, but why bother when it's full of lies?

While the nation's top generals sit with their arms folded, CIA Director Gina Haspel is standing and applauding the president who once said he believed Vladimir Putin over his intelligence agencies, and whose allies seek to expose a CIA whistleblower.

Ken Dilanian @KenDilanianNBCFormer ops officer and Republican says: "She's applauding like a trained aquarium seal at every line, just like a member of the House GOP caucus, even on domestic stuff. I could be wrong but I don't recall directors attending in the past. Maybe Tenet after 9/11? Holy crow." https://twitter.com/kendilaniannbc/status/1224884713187414022 …

Reading the rest of the article seems like these two were terrible an need to stay the hell away from any position of power.
Also not surprised they came from New Jersey.
Oh, and a word about these types of comments about me recently, they haven't gone unnoticed. Sure, I bring into this thread things I see on cable news here and there, because I think they may be of interest to people. If they are not of interest to some because it comes from a cable news broadcast, that's fine, no big deal.
What I don't post are all the times I am not watching or turn it off or I am doing something else, because that would be too many posts and that shit is hardly of interest to anyone. I post just a bit of criticism of cable news when I think it's notable, because their weaknesses and turnoffs are legion and well-known here, so generally posting such obvious things would be a waste of people's time. As is how much TV people think I watch, because who really gives a shit about that?
Pete doesn't have to overtake Bernie. He just needs to keep Amy and Warren out of the picture and be the clear Bernie alternative before Super Tuesday. He's reliant on Biden not figuring out wtf to do, but his path is clear.
I hope they haven't. I wanted you to see them.
In the post I quoted, you gave exactly one word: "Yes." Not "Yes, I agree with..." or "Yes, I like..." or any description of anything happening. Just "yes." It read as your personal, internal reaction to something you saw, not as a discussion; it gave your interlocutors - all of us - no context to know what you meant or actually discuss it with you. It's not a matter of cable news drivel being "of interest" or not to us. It's a matter of not knowing what you're talking about half the time. Do you see the difference? Your post failed to address what I actually said.

Bernie trounces Pete head to head.
I wonder if Biden taking money out of SC for Iowa/NH is gonna hurt him.
because it's politics this is getting press..... but I've unfortunately seen this at too many jobs.
Ya but just wait until Bernie starts rigging it for Bernie.
Being a Bernie alternative is still not good enough given his support with black voters. Won't be able to win enough states.
How is he going to establish himself as the Bernie alternative for ST when the last contest before ST is South Carolina?
His path is not clear at all.
So the path I can see, and I'm not saying it's likely or whatever:
Wins Iowa, and hits that HARD on the stump in NH. Make it so he is the clear alternative to Bernie. There were reports today of voters saying they support Biden, but they would go to Pete or Amy if they thought they could win. So, he should hit "I actually won a state" pretty hard. If, somehow, Pete hits viability in NH and locks out Biden and Warren (and by extension everyone else), he could make the case he's now gone 1 and 2 in the first two contests.
NV...I have no idea what you do there, because I have no idea what's going on with Biden's support.
But, then, in SC, you could TRY to be the only other viable candidate alongside Biden. You're not going to overtake Biden, but if you can make it so the only people getting delegates are Pete and Biden and not Bernie...or even Bernie coming in 3rd, you could then try to position yourself as both the alternative to Biden and a consensus candidate.
I don't think it works, but it's a possible strategy.
