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

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.

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.

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.)

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.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 12 February 2016 22:51 (eight years ago) link

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.

maybe ford? house subcommittee on defense, minority-leader meddling in vietnam. nothing where you'd say "oh he set the agenda there" but probably actually knew more about what the state department and pentagon got up to than, say, your average governor.

I saw Trump earlier was going on about how he's not going to use "bad words" while he's campaigning in South Carolina. Can already see it:

"Well, I've been saying I wasn't going to use any bad words, but now I hear Ted Cruz, he's - and I like Ted, Ted's a good guy but Ted does not get it, if you know what I mean. He's crazy, this guy, I think. Don't you think so? Like, koo-koo, crazy. And I guess, I haven't seen it but they're telling me Ted has got an ad out now where it keeps saying, over and over, it says 'Damn.' Damn! Damn, damn, damn, damn. Ted Cruz. Well, that's in the Bible, that's not such a bad word. But, but - - - hold on. Hold on now. This lady in front, she's excited, and I'm excited too. But that's not all. People are going to notice this. It says 'Damn, it feels good to be a Clinton?!' Now what does that mean? It feels good to be a Clinton, and I can't say a bad word? Now I don't know about this stuff, but my staff, they tell me it has something to do with gangster rap. It's gangster rap about Hillary Clinton, and maybe it says something bad about her but I don't listen to that stuff. So that's Ted Cruz for ya. Gangster rap and it feels good to be a Clinton. Well, we're gonna win and I'll tell you one thing, the gangster rap, that's over, that's outta here."

i know very little about bloomberg, but i do worry that as good as sanders's policy positions are, that he'd make a terrible manager. i just can't /see/ him as president, and it's not just because the last few years decades centuries have made me conflate the presidency with egotistical coldblooded alpha males.

yes let's just guess about 'managerial' qualities in the White House, if we have a disappointing vision let's go on with the plunging wages, endless war, rising waterline etc
