I don't think tax cuts were even the main thing Trump promised in 2016?

something about a wall

a what, that's crazy

It's weird to me that the lesson from "Republicans keep winning with transactional campaigns and following through" is "we shouldn't do that" instead of "maybe we should try that sometime."

Observed at the Univ of Nevada - Reno caucus today. 7 precincts of mostly undergrads in a huge engineering lecture hall. Bernie won 56 out of 63 delegates.

wild

Chris Matthews just compared Bernie's inevitable victory to the Nazi defeat of France in World War 2. I'm not joking

Just saw a post from A+ Memphis garage-post punk band Nots that two members are DJing a $5 entry Bernie fundraiser tonight, he's definitely winning the good music primary.

There is a white lady on MSNBC right now suggesting that Latinos are voting for Bernie because the pro-Bernie kids in the family are manipulating their parents who can't speak English. #NevadaCaucus

every time an msnbc anchor has a live meltdown bernie goes up 2 points in the polls

…bernie samders

sanders

it's been really eye opening to see how much people are freaking out. I'm hardly the biggest Bernie fan, but people really need to get a grip.

Yeah telling they’re freaking out more over this than 4 years ago when an idiot rapist game show host won

ßérnïê

it's hilarious I think more than anything it's dumbasses like Matthews and Carville realizing no one gives a fuck what they think outside of their little bubble of a cable news station that gets worse ratings than Friends reruns

thats why theyre so mad. they know their time is almost up.

james carville is such a sputtering dumbass

Matthews, who may have responded to panicked head shakes from his young staff, hastened to add a few minutes that he doesn't think Sanders "is a Red or anything, and it's nothing dangerous," but he wants him to explain his positions and why Sanders has, uh, visited Russia and not Denmark.

*few minutes laer

jfc Matthews needs a mandatory administrative leave asap

I’m talking about the early primaries where Trump went from a novelty candidate to “holy shit who’s gonna stop this guy?” while the major news anchors pretty much laughed it off up until it became clear that the Rs only hope was Ted fuckin Cruz

vodka >>>>>>> aquavit

otm

Well, yeah. But a good snaps > vodka.

nevada already called babey

Sanders is looking likely to win the nomination at this point imo. Iatee's concern is probably a good one to consider imo: if Sanders were to become President, what steps could be realistically taken towards M4A, given the makeup of Congress? Is there a way to work with states?

Imo imo

Exit DLC/Third Way, pursued by a bear.

if Sanders were to become President, what steps could be realistically taken towards M4A, given the makeup of Congress?

I'm assuming that whatever conditions led to the first socialist president in like 80 years would represent a new playing field, especially in the post-Trump era... not sure what he did to politics in this country has really sunk in yet, and won't until he's gone and isn't sucking all the air out of the room

think the following things have to happen/be true:
1) dems control house and senate
a) in the senate AL looks lost imo, so dems need ME, CO, AZ, NC at minimum. they need the vt gov to appoint a dem to the senate when bernie leaves office. this way they get 50 dems+the vp. and hell who knows, maybe some other weird states open up bc ppl love bernie or something.
b) house looks fine?
2) existing house and senate dems (incl manchin) have to see sanders' election as a referendum on and affirmation of m4a.
3) massive public pressure campaign from sanders' supporters and other ppl who like being alive longer and for less money

and then in 2022 we're getting a supermajority and splitting california into 7 states

what's that, you're confused about there being a north dakota and a south dakota? good news, we're merging them into one state called sorth dakota

west virginia abolished altogether. individual counties have a year to either become freeholds and establish bespoke trading terms with each other, neighbouring states, and the post-Brexit UK, or to join a new supervirginia called Best Virginia. D.C. gets statehood and ex-west-virginia's old star on the flag, and is renamed Inner Virginia. DC Comics is likewise renamed, for the sake of avoiding and/or creating confusion.

vodka >>>>>>> aquavit

i won't let this stand. aquavit is great. vodka is pointless.

Well, gin.

wyoming annexed to russia (this has been putin's play all along)

Bernie's odds now 1/2 on 538. Nice.

See? This is where the Never Trump crowd goes off the rails. This was not an unusual opinion at all in the 1970’s. Daniel Patrick Moynihan believed the same thing. Hell, after Bay of Pigs, in 196-goddamn-2, JFK said he wanted to scatter the CIA “to the four winds." https://t.co/IINTycrWDb
