I wish someone would try to explain to the American people that dead troops are a sunk cost.
Some bad commercials. Look for the 3rd one here.
So you donât like McGovern. Got it. Dumb guy ran on not murdering millions of people. Commie.
This! But I donât think the poker analogy worked too well⌠sorry Risky.
Trump and his bunch just project their own beliefs. They think Bernie as an opponent will be a slam dunk only because he would be a monster No for THEM. Projection is just huge for these dolts.
Trumps soft Bernie tweets are likely going to be a reason a bunch of voters go Trump â Bern if they end up HU. Not many, but there are some. jmho

âBernie is the real Obamaâ. Thatâs actually a great line! Gonna print me a t-shirt with that on it.
I was so hyped for Obama, then he just immediately started holding hands with the GOP and letting them dictate shit in his first term. Obamaâs still one of the GOATs but goddam if he didnât pass on going for the slam dunks in his first 2 yrs. Another time Mitch McConnell pissed his pants laughing at Dem weakness.
If those people were already registered as Democrats, that doesnât mean much for the general. There was evidence of a modest amount of new voters, though. The Nevada Democratic Party said that in early voting, 10,000 people had signed up to be Democrats for the first time. It probably ended up being more than 10% of voters who were newly minted Democrats, and the percentage of the population too young to vote in 2016 is more like 6%. So letâs say 5% of the people who voted became Democrats this cycle specifically to do so. However, since only 1 in 6 registered Democrats turned out for the caucus, thatâs less than 1% of Democrats in the state overall. But thatâs encouraging given that itâs only the primary right now.

lmao that is a terrible, terrible political ad.
White supremacy is the status quo in this country, so arguably not really.
It was aâŚrisky flush, you say?
McGovern was actually doing OK until the Eagleton problem - for you kids he was a last second selection for the VP slot after Ted Kennedy basically shafted McGovern by refusing to be his VP after essentially promising not to.
Problem that Eagleton had hidden a history of multiple admissions for depression that was bad enough to require electroshock therapy. Once that came out, McGovern was cooked. It would be the equivalent of finding that Sanders had a brace of 14 year old blond Morman Cheerleaders massaging him to sleep every evening and having the video splashed over Youtube.
Which was awful since 1) Nixon was basically Trump with a brain 2) McGovern would have likely been a good (or better) president.

And within a few years Nixon was forced to resign in disgrace, we lost Vietnam, and everyone agreed we needed to be out of there.
In a normal country the popular lesson from this episode would be âwow we fucked up, next time this kind of thing happens we need to support the McGovern candidateâ. Instead it has been 50 years of âremember that time the mildly progressive guy was right about everything but lost? well we can NOT let that happen again, so letâs abandon the idea of being rightâ.

Not sure if Joe is going to make a pitch for progressives or tell them to vote for Bernie or Trump.
Why not both?
Ready for Bernie to destroy this fool.
Also ready for the media to immediately declare Biden the winner.

I donât think Bernie will attack him. He didnât ever really go after Hillary despite infinity legitimate ammunition. Itâs just not how Bernieâs wired.
