Why can't Hillary do the same? Or the loyalists of a party that get TV gigs on corporate media outlets that constantly attack Bernie with baseless nonsense? Acting like Bernie and Yang voters on twitter are the only divisive ones is hilarious when they have significantly less power and influence.

While I still think you're a total idiot :D you do have a point here. Hillary should not be going around blasting Sanders in the middle of the primary. If she wants to endorse a different candidate that's fine but now's not the time for score settling.

Regarding education, this is an interesting look - particularly because the biggest swing states are in the middle of the pack education wise:

The feeling is mutual :D but in all seriousness I feel like we've had more productive conversations than certain others who offer literally nothing but ad homs ;)

Which is saying something, our conversations aren't usually that productive :D

Didn’t Walsh say he was going to “get his musket” if Hilary won? How did he break free from the cult?

He had an epiphany. He readily admits that he "was" a moron and he woke up.

I'm all for these guys seeing the light but it would be nice if they'd do so in the moment and not once they're safely out of office with nothing to lose. :rolleyes:

Along those lines, kudos to Amash for walking the walk. And now Romney I suppose.
 
Re: Democratic Challengers 9: Can we climb this mountain? I don't know.

Yes, this is especially true for the never Trumper tools like David Frum who paved the way for someone like Trump with their actions during previous administrations.

The Dems aren't running a Black man.

Though at least he says he will back any Dem unlike most of the rest of the Never Trumpers.

I think Lizzy can hang in there until Super Tuesday and see how that goes. Its also absurd to be calculating odds after one fuked up Iowa contest. However if she can't break through by then its time for her to endorse someone else (presumably Sanders).

just stupid that it's over for some now after one stupid nothing state.

rfk didn't announce his candidacy until march 18th.

Hillary needs to shut up

No, she needs to shut up until the candidate is selected then make sure to sing that person’s praises, ESPECIALLY if it’s Sanders.

Yeah, that’s fine. I don’t even care if she endorsed someone. But she shouldn’t say anything negative about the candidates, especially one that will probably end up with the nomination

I'm not sure an endorsement from Hillary this go-round is a positive thing.

She should just sit back and shut up; when asked, just say she'll support whoever the Democrat voters choose.

Seems to me that Iowa just lost that ability this go around. No reason for anybody to ditch before the first 4 states go at the very least unless their fundraising completely dries up.

I agree, but Iowa's results set forth paths where people drop out.

If Biden goes on to finish 4th in New Hampshire and no better than a distant 2nd in Nevada, if he doesn't win South Carolina, he's done.

If Warren finishes 3rd 4 times in a row, that's probably a signal she's not catching Bernie for the progressive vote.

If Buttigeig finishes a distant 4th or even 5th in both Nevada and S.C., that's a sign he hasn't made any traction with non-white voters and probably gets destroyed on Super Tuesday.

Bernie is like Trump in that he's got 25% of the Dems locked up no matter what, but probably has a ceiling below 50%. The longer the entire field stays in the race, the better it is for him.
 
Re: Democratic Challengers 9: Can we climb this mountain? I don't know.

Bernie is yelling even louder than usual.

Buttigieg' critics are right; at times, he definitely sounds like a managing director pulling an elevator pitch out of his arse.

Steyer up there acting like a moderator :D
