Hahaha mate I could be a winner here.

 

[mezzrow]

To some extent, yes. However, at this time in 2016, the person who currently looks to be the odds on favorite to become Vice President was the AG of California, had just been elected to the senate for the first time, and had almost no nationwide name recognition.

She'll do whatever necessary to become President. She'll get what she wants.

Then, she'll do what she's told, like she has done until now. Why change what has worked?

The guys that need to retire to Palm Desert will still be in charge.

How did you vote on the minimum wage proposition, Muzzruh?

I voted for it, despite knowing that it will cost people jobs who need jobs.

It will be tough on those who find it hard to generate $15 an hour worth of value. It will hit the food/entertainment industry at a time it is reeling. We need to acknowledge that and find solutions for that problem that are based in private enterprise and finding multiple strategies to deal with making the individual worth the wage to the employer. That's the only truly sustainable answer.

Republican voters were never going to plump for Sanders. If the Republicans could convince Latino Floridians that Biden was a socialist, they could have convinced them that Sanders was the reincarnation of Josef Stalin. But this isn't a victory for Democrats, it's a victory for democracy, however short term that is. His reaction to the mail-in-ballots have been those of a tinpot dictator. Four more years of him could have done untold damage to their electoral process as he filled up civil service positions with cronies and sycophants. That is not the fault of the democrats, it is the fault of the people who voted for Trump and still went out to vote for him despite the clear evidence that he is grossly unfit for office. They drove America in to the arms of Joe Biden, possibly the most uninspiring candidate imaginable

Sanders performed better - by far - than any other candidate among Hispanic voters. He had build a formidable grassroots organisation, which the Biden team completely ignored. Biden literally had no ground game - and all the Hispanic constituencies that turned out for Sanders en masse swung toward Trump instead. The Biden approach was to absorb all of the negatives of being called a 'socialist' while offering none of its overwhelmingly popular policies.

Four years on, most of us still do not understand Trump swing voters. We are so preoccupied gawking and sneering at the cult via twitter blue checks that we overlook that most Trump voters don't especially like Trump - they chose him because they are thoroughly disgusted with 'the establishment', and rightly so. The Democrats responded to this, twice, by choosing the most establishment candidate possible, and focusing on their personality at the expense of policy. Sanders would not have made these mistakes. The Democrats have essentially turned out their own core white middle class college-educated supporters to the maximum possible extent, and barely won against a historically unpopular President who has overseen the worst economic and public health crisis in a century. They are only going to hold real power by winning over Republican voters, and they have probably blown their chance at doing so because there is nobody who can replace Sanders coming through the ranks. The biggest obstacle to a Sanders victory would not have been failure to attract working class Trump voters, but sabotage from the Democratic Party elders and antipathy from the comfortable middle class 'I wish we could go back to ignoring politics/poor white trash deserve it because they're probably racist' brunch crowd that forms its base.

I know I do.

5 aces. You’ve got a proper royal flush Carlo. But I’m sure you know that. Just keep them cards close to your chest. Few lids in here would love to trip you up.
