Regarding Lieberman fucking up the public option. I wonder what the behind the scenes were like. Republicans would have told him if he didn’t vote they’d destroy his career, pull all party support, and campaign against him and destroy his reputation. But if he voted for what they wanted, they’d guarantee him a six figure lobbying job post retirement.
Hopefully everything that has happened since then has been a giant fucking wake up call to these idiots.
Narrator…
Although, they do seem to be willing to throw Feinstein off of a cliff to get shit done so maybe they’re moving in the right direction.
CNN in the airport just showed a clip. Lots of eyeballs turned to the TV.
Stahl asked him what his domestic priorities were for a second term. “We had (have?) the best economy ever, blah blah.” “Well that’s not true.” “It is it is so true and you know it. We have the best numbers”. “I asked you what your priorities were for a second term.”
I dunno. Seems like SOP for Trump interviews. Not sure what he blew up over.
You know there’s no way Trump is gonna come through on presenting his own version of the interview. I thought the footage belonged to CBS, not the government.
Even if he does, the editing is gonna be lolbad. People are gonna be keeling over and laughing at it.
Honestly, I kind of cringe every time I hear Trump talk. My blood pressure goes up. My heart rate increases. It’s just not good for me to listen to his voice.
But in 2020, Mr. Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr. face a drastically changed electorate. The cohort of non-college-educated white voters — who gave Mr. Trump just enough of a margin to win the election in 2016 — has been in a long-term decline, while both minority voters and white college-educated voters have steadily increased.
The decline, a demographic glacier driven largely by aging, has continued since 2016. The number of voting-age white Americans without college degrees has dropped by more than five million in the past four years, while the number of minority voters and college-educated white voters has collectively increased by more than 13 million in the same period. In key swing states, the changes far outstrip Mr. Trump’s narrow 2016 margins.
