bad pollster here, ignore it obviously

Weld thinks 6 R senators could vote yes. Yeah I don’t believe it either.

My boy Turley is back with a blistering op-ed

I see noted piece of shit Jeff Van Drew is thinking about switching parties presumably because he’s afraid to impeach and is rightfully catching a lot of shit for it. Should make it easier to get someone marginally less awful in his seat come 2020… I hope anyway.

Considering Maine is very old and very white I’d guess she’s a no.

imo NJ 02 race goes from tossup to likely R, Van Drew probably loses R primary (since he’s not anti abortion). He might’ve lost D primary anyway though.

Yeah. The Democratic party sucks ass. They do horrible things.

One of these is not like the other ones.

The new NAFTA deal from what I can tell is about the same as the old one - so since he didn’t make it exponentially worse (ignoring the waste of time, resources and effort that went into rewriting it) I think it’s probably harmless, more or less.

We’ve been pissing a gazillion dollars away on the military because reasons for decades, so meh, whoever has sat in that chair since WWII has been the same.

The Patriot act is beyond awful.

NAFTA sucks and handing Trump a victory for no good reason is stupid, but this is the least bad.

Money for the military is tremendously bad imo. It causes bad FP imo. Also this addition of money is 3 times as much as paying all tuition for all public universities. It sucks. It’s probably functionally the worst of the 3, but less outright disgusting and totalitarian the Patriot act.

Whatever. At least not one penny of my scratch will go toward his election this way. It’s good he finally admitted what we already knew. Fuck him. Fuck him in the ear.

If USCMAMCA is no better than NAFTA, then the positioning and messaging should be super easy for Dems. Say the Pres ripped up NAFTA, sucks at negotiating, and made a deal that’s the same thing. But he promised to do something better, so when that happens, we’ll take it up.

Promises made, promises not kept.
