@AOC It turns out inflation was a bigger worry than abortion access. Was that a miscalculation? It’s hard to say you’ll fix inflation if people (wrongly) believe that you’ve caused it.
Be aggressive but be honest. That’s harder than it sounds.
@mmpadellan If he is going to be AG, wouldn’t that require hearings? Can’t the D’s make sure it’s reviewed? Are they completely powerless in the process?
@ArtCandee Somebody needs to learn English grammar. “Will Tulsi” is a question. “Tulsi will” is a fact. This fact accidentally was phrased as a question.
@UConnWBB@WellsFargo Why didn’t Q play? Is she hurt? I thought she showed promise last season. I figured with off season workouts she would become a real asset. I know it’s early, but I hope they don’t discourage her so that she transfers.
@UConnWBB@WellsFargo They got ahead and then both teams started playing sloppy. I bet Geno isn’t thrilled with the second half. I expected them to pull away and win by at least 20.
@mmpadellan People flaunt their anti-abortion beliefs as a badge of how Christian they are, yet being cruel to people who were born on the other side of a line on the ground is somehow appropriate. They use terms like “legal immigration” to justify their cruelty.
@secupp Many reasons for inflation weren’t Biden’s fault, and Trump won’t quickly fix. Neither Biden (mumbling) nor Harris (word salad) have a knack for speaking clearly and simply. A “Fireside Chat” approach might have worked with a good speaker (someone like Buttigieg, for example).
@TommyInPA The argument that Biden wasn’t reining in Netanyahu enough so let’s vote for Trump is indicative of the faulty logic by many groups that ended up getting him elected. I got lectured on here a couple times for saying it could be worse.
@BenjySarlin@NateSilver538 There was a theory that she needed to be on the ticket to make it easier to transition over the Biden-Harris money. I think the Dem power brokers wanted Newsome or Shapiro at the top with Harris as VP, but Biden overruled them. That might have worked.
@mmpadellan Reagan made a back room deal with Iran not to release the hostages until after the election. I’m sure Trump has back room deals ready to go. Will they be good for humanity? I doubt it. But his base will crow that he is a man of action.
@mmpadellan I wonder if he’s clever enough to appoint people as part of a vindictive plan. Get Rubio to resign as senator so he can be Sec. of State, then fire him as soon as his replacement is sworn in.
@donwinslow "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of Pres. of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Trump will say that, and then immediately trash the constitution.
@JoJoFromJerz No other country will share intelligence information with her. Our own people will tell her as little as they can get away with. Not a recipe for success in that position.
