4.5M people voted for Trump in CA, but fuck 'em is his response. When it's CA burning, all he offers is ridiculous "ideas", threats to cut funding, insults, etc.
like when the cornerstone of Obama's healthcare plan was "no individual mandate"?
I don't think she will abandon M4A but I wouldn't put any stock in the current specifics of her proposals either. She is a smart politician who will inevitably bring her plans into alignment with the political realities
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin lost reelection earlier this week to state AG Andy Beshear. Beshear carried just 14/38 State Senate districts.
Considering the decades long grudge Cubans have against the Dems, I'd hope Puerto Ricans have the same against the ghoulish GOP.

I think it is right both to say that M4A may not be a good general election message and that it's not necessarily great for Warren if she gets nominated and then walks it back. And, separately, that it's easy to imagine relatively moderate Dem senators just killing M4A anyway.
I don't know what the right solution is, though!
There seems to be a sizable Dem apparatus in PR though right? I imagine the San Juan mayor who's on Bernie's campaign will want to run. Are there more Dem primary participants than Republican primary participants there?Same.
Slightly OT, but Hillary got those historic margins in Miami by winning a majority of Cubans in the county (she lost them statewide). I imagine Gillum and Nelson failed to replicate those numbers considering they lagged with Hispanic voters in general.
They have two prominent parties there that don't map neatly onto the mainland's politics. In fact, as you might imagine, the issue of statehood defines their politics. Some pro-statehood people, such as the current Resident Commissioner (non-voting representative in the US House) affiliate with Republicans, some anti-statehood people affiliate with Democrats, and vice versa. It's a bit messy. We would probably actually need to make them a state before their politicians started aligning with either the Democrats or GOP based on other issues.There seems to be a sizable Dem apparatus in PR though right?

One of the announcers claimed he got a big cheer, but I'm gunna wait for receiptsIt's halftime at the LSU game - any reports of trump getting booed?
I understand all of this from the Discord chat we had earlier but I was mainly curious if Dems/Reps have actually been building any goodwill/infrastructure with the politicians there. Bernie bringing on the Mayor is a good sign at least.They have two prominent parties there that don't map neatly onto the mainland's politics.

To be fair -- Knight did win with Trump on the ballot in 2016! But I doubt he wins again. He was a pretty bad campaigner.
Apparently Alabama cheered for him and then ETTD took over and they are getting stomped.
Well, yeah, a lot of those suburban districts pretty clearly voted Hillary for president and for their GOP representative as a "check" on her. That dynamic will be totally different next year. I struggle to think of a Clinton district Trump and the GOP can flip, especially since 80% of Romney/Clinton voters intend to vote for the Democratic presidential nominee and Democratic House incumbents/candidates, per Voter Study Group.To be fair -- Knight did win with Trump on the ballot in 2016!

A pretty good one, I think. Black turnout has increased in early voting.Does JBE have a chance? Post primary polls don't look bad but there are only a few and none in November.
So does anyone understand the gameplan with releasing this second "transcript"?

Somehow he doesn't understand that a lot of the places that burn are upper-middle class enclaves up in the foothills and canyons, and more conservative inland areas of the state. His response always reads as a big fuck you to big GOP strongholds in the state.
Like most things from the GOP, it's a motion to set up more gas-lighting.I mean, there is no universe in which we are going to agree to let Hunter Biden testify.

I guess you aren't familiar with Jewish surname conventions.
