Bueno, amigos, les vuelvo a repetir: Enojarse y despotricar contra los votantes porque no votan como tu quieres, nunca ha llevado a nada en política.
Exíjanle más a sus candidatos, más bien, que su chamba es persuadir, añadir y cohesionar votos. Si no hacen eso bien, todo lo demás es por las puras
Dems need Obama to spend like 3 days traveling the state with Troy Jackson.
Jackson can only lose if a decent chunk of reliable Dem voters decide to vote for Collins again.
Obama almost certainly has insanely high favorability with this group of Pingree-Collins potential voters.
Peter Thiel explains what Trump got wrong in both of his terms
"I think the two administrations made opposite mistakes."
"The first administration brought in all these people who couldn't agree, and it was just all this internal fighting."
"The second administration, I think overcorrected for the mistake of the first term with all these loyalty tests. You got an administration staffed by not very smart, but very loyal people."
"There’s all sorts of ways it can be criticized. It also, reflected a way that things had reached a certain exhaustion, and certainly on the Republican side."
“It’s not just the money that’s corrupted our politics, it’s a moral corruption—the cynical indifference of powerful people.” 🔥🔥
Extremely my kinda shit.
The lesbian bar story is a writing masterclass in how to include details that don’t necessarily advance the plot but enhance the work. Case in point: clown school
@RonaldCrossPeru@NateSilver538 Opinion Ronald ? Por lo general le doy bastante credito a Nate, pero me es bastante dificil creer en D+8 ( o más) considerando los resultados en NH y Minessota son bastante ajustados.Ademas Trump es siempre infravalorado en las encuestas. Habra mucho herding ?
Polls in traditionally lean/solid blue states (MN, NH, NY) have been pretty mediocre for Dems. But they lead polling in TX, OH, AK, IA.
Waves *can* be local, and candidates matter. But if the disparity happens at the magnitude polls suggest rn, that would still be pretty weird.
This is such a great example of Hasan's narcissism. If he actually gave a shit about any of the candidates he says he supports winning, he would simply stop doing interviews like this for the next 2 months, but he can't pass up the attention and doesn't give a damn if it hurts Abdul & other candidates.
Was this quote taken out of context? Yes.
Even with context, is this deeply out of touch with where most Americans stand? Yes.
Is this an unnecessary distraction at best — and actively damaging at worst — to Democratic candidates’ chances 47 days out from the midterms? Also yes
