Hillary would look better in debates if she got rid of the Ted Cruz arrogance smirk before answering every question.

It was also a WaPo editorial. The WaPo and my android are not getting along right now.

Sure thing...you ever notice all your predictions are wrong
No one watched the debate, just like Dems wanted it. Hillary will win because there is no way Wall Street will let Sanders win. The Dems know where their bread is buttered.

Per 538, the two leaders in the GOP race are their worst candidates in the general election.

One line caught me: By statistical measures Cruz would be the most conservative nominee since (and possibly including) Barry Goldwater in 1964.

He also feels we shouldn't have exchanged prisoners for hostages: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...urce=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link. Instead, he says we should have followed Reagan's example. So I guess arms for hostages.

Re: Campaign 2016 - Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
Faux tough guy Rubio earned himself a pants-on-fire for lying (or being willfully ignorant) about Reagan's role--basically none-- in freeing the hostages in 1981.
On the other hand, Rubio's fact-free claim, like GOP denial of climate change, rage over massive voter fraud and Obama being a Muslim from Kenya, is an article of faith in the right-wing's alternate reality.

"The agreement that led to the release involved $11 billion to $12 billion in Iranian assets that Carter had frozen 10 days after the seizure of the U.S. embassy. Sick told us that the Iranians feared having to start negotiations over with a new administration and believed that they had extracted most of the benefits from holding the hostages."
dunno. sure reads like the iranians were ascared of ronnie

Re: Campaign 2016 - Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
Not sure I believe the full PolitiFact narrative, but there is no way that Reagan was solely responsible for the release of the hostages, as much as conservatives like to think that St. Ronnie rolled in on his golden chariot and immediately fixed everything. If you want to consternate a conservative, point out that unemployment remained at or well above 7% through most of 1986 - or, a significant majority of Reagan's two terms. And while inflation did sharply decline during his first term (and was his priority), it nevertheless remained above 5% for the majority of it.

LOL. That was awesome.
Oh, and St. Reagan didn't get the hostages back. Carter arranged most of it while he was still in office through negotiations.

Re: Campaign 2016 - Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
Oh you mean this Gary Sick? Doesn't sound like that's what he advocated at all.
Gary Sick wrote an editorial[16] for The New York Times and a book (October Surprise)[34] on the subject. Sick's credibility was boosted by the fact that he was a retired Naval Captain, served on Ford's, Carter's, and Reagan's National Security Council, and held high positions with many prominent organizations; moreover, he had authored a book recently on U.S.–Iran relations (All Fall Down). Sick wrote that in October 1980 officials in Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign including future CIA Director, William Casey, made a secret deal with Iran to delay the release of the American hostages until after the election; in return for this, the United States purportedly arranged for Israel to ship weapons to Iran.

No surprise. Interesting that the author is attempting to measure it, something that goes back before Adorno et al.
The most concise description of authoritarianism I've read is from Ring Lardner:
The hardcore philosophical work is also done in the wonderfully titled The Jargon of Authenticity. From a review:
tl; dr: Heidegger is an a-hole, but he's an important a-hole because he's symptomatic of an aggressive authoritarianism that has great power to turn legions of Small Brains into a vicious mob. c.f. Europe in the '30s, and more and more America today.
We ignore this at our peril, folks. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. We're in our Weimar Moment. Let's not make the same mistake.

Well I'm glad I'm on everybody's mind so much! Is anybody worried that Bernie Sanders just called for a tax hike on the middle class to put single payer in place, which is going to get him gutted like a deer in a general election? Call me a DINO, but what world is this guy living in? Middle class voters are not going to vote to pay more taxes to re-open the whole healthcare debate yet again.
