I will keep doing, but not worth it! The 2016 Presidential Primary Voting Thread

dc journalists who value civility and telling both sides love bloomie, that's about it

who would win in a sanders / hillary / bloomberg / trump / cruz election?

i wasn't saying he would be a serious candidate. i was saying that on balance he would take more votes from the democrats than the republicans

soda's pretty popular, too. all sanders would have to do is slam a Big Gulp down on the lectern at the start of his first debate and it's over. plus i mean the guy seems like he could use some refreshment up there.

think you have him mixed up with Rubio

DC-journalist-style civility included smashing up Zuccotti Park and its denizens, of course

even better then if rubio's in the race. "May I offer you some of this delicious refreshment, sir?"

@dick_nixon
Henry is no one's friend. If she really thinks that then we're in more trouble than I thought.

does anyone fucking like bloomberg?

Some center-left NYC good-government types do. Someone on my Facebook page who is pretty politically aware (was an early De Blasio booster in the mayoral primary) posted that Bloomberg would be the most effective President in decades.

last few effective presidents have been disastrously effective fyi

i just remembered that sometime around the year 2000 my old internet buddy and i came up with a bunch of raps for "Henry K," inspired by or heavily plagiarized from the dayglo postmodern rapper Sushi K in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.

leaving a trail of slime wherever he goes...

I'm disappointed in myself for not catching this the first coupla times I scanned the thread updates.

"'I lost the body' says Bedfellow."

yeah, an acquaintance who works as a homeless advocate says that for whatever his good intentions are or are not, di blasio is so hapless as a manager that she'd rather have bloomberg back

Once Upon a Time in the West? xp

Bloom County

bloomberg would get like 2% of the vote if he ran, tops

it would be some wealthy new yorkers and some journalists voting for him

wealthy journalists more like, Ron Fournier types

i can envision a 'Save Your 401k' propaganda campaign from Blankfein Democrats

impossible to predict

Bloom(berg) County?

I kind of think Bloomberg making noises about running is just to score points with his bank CEO and hedge fund manager buddies by playing potential white knight, plus a shot across Hillary's bow to not indulge too much in Wall Street-bashing to deflect Sanders's attacks.

imo bloomberg would at the very least be a more effective president than bernie sanders

i mean, sure. so would ted cruz - both of them have way more common ground with the party controlling the legislature.

I wonder how Scarface feels about this

possibly at mass incarceration

xpost what in the hell

pretty sure it could only benefit clinton's campaign if people came to associate her with the dudes from office space smashing the shit out of a computer. classic right-o-sphere imaginarium where they assume "emails" is one of the first two or three things the whole world associates with hillary clinton.

Outside the lobby I came across Bill Kristol, who had predicted a big Rubio win in New Hampshire, and asked him who had won the debate. ‘Who knows?’ he said.

lol how does Bill Kristol even figure out how to put his pants on in the morning.

from here: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v38/n05/christian-lorentzen/driving-through-a-postcard

someone tell the evangelicals that cruz's campaign said "damn"

guys

big news...

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

xposts

sad, but at least he gave the world kate bush

i wonder how many people out there are posting drudge sirens right now

Taking a break from the Gilmore news, I've unearthed the roots of Bernie.

xp can you feel the Drudge tonight?

nfw, it's a feint. gilmore's playing the long game.

somehow did not realize he had attempted a run back in the 2008 race. i kinda hope he pulls a harold stassen and just keeps running until seeing his name at the bottom of the poll just washes over your brain like the little pawprint symbol at the end of an article in ranger rick.

From my experience so far with UPK, I'd agree with this.

good ad. Bernie's rhetoric on the topic is kinda leaden, unfortunately.

lol u been waitin all day to drop that

nah i just got off work.

anecdotal data point: was talking to a christian co-worker who is perpetually convinced the end times are next week. he said the only person he could see himself bothering to vote for this time out is bernie. "i don't agree with any of his policies, but i like him," he said. he said if bernie wasn't running he'd probably stay home.

(i will, of course, eat my hat if he actually votes for bernie.)

looks like sady doyle thinks HRC "won" that kissinger exchange

https://twitter.com/sadydoyle/status/697985744678289408

She seems like a crazy person.

who'd have thought, someone who became 'famous' from typing in all caps

debate seemed like a draw to me. they both came across well. sanders scored some points on the kissenger thing that made up for a fumbling response to the foreign policy question about russia.

sad, but at least he gave the world Kate Bush

Made my day!

surprised not more ppl have pointed this out but very few presidents have any foreign policy experience before coming to the white house. i mean bill clinton sure didn't have any. the only one from the last 50 years i can think of who had any significant f-p experience before becoming president were nixon and bush sr.

Obama was on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
