… but that was more than the RCP Average predicted he would lose by (2.4 points). Clinton’s margin was also under-predicted in 2008. That said, Sanders is the favorite on PredictIt (39% to Biden 31%), and I wouldn’t want to make any bold predictions in a caucus state without knowing a lot more about the details on the ground.
Bernie +9
Warren -11
Ooof
yeah…that’s rough.
but that poll…I dunno. It’s weird. from the same poll:

I think Emerson is the one that calls only landlines, could be wrong though. Def some weird crosstab results.

For me it’s Not spending 18% of GDP on healthcare >>>>>>>>>> not having to worry about major financial implications of medical care (small coinsurance actually fine with me) >>>>> jobs of healthcare administrators one and all >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> profits and shareholders equity of healthcare companies (actually if they go to zero it’d be a positive for me).

I take back the one nice thing I said about him earlier. What a fucking pandering clown.

Jesus. The McKinsey shit shouldn’t even be that big of a deal–he was just an entry-level guy, and that’s all he needs to say. Instead he is turning it into clearly disingenuous attacks on something he previously advocated for. Go fuck yourself, Pete–your response to this McKinsey shit is even worse than whatever red flag ever existed there.
And yet people will eat up these attacks on Universal Healthcare despite their obvious bad faith. Our chances of meaningful change are lower thanks to Pete Buttigieg’s entry into this race, whether he wins the nomination or not. Thanks, Pete.

Bloomberg (and Steyer) need more of this and less on their vanity runs for president
(But let’s be honest–Bloomberg is only doing this for the good press)

I was thinking the same thing. I worked for two different consulting firms - PricewaterhouseCoopers after college and a small, local one after I got my MBA. I had no say in what clients they assigned me to and no say as to what my actual role was going to be. If I was put on a project with some client who I didn’t like, I doubt I could’ve asked to be placed elsewhere.
My clients were all fine and the jobs I did were all fine, so there were no ethical issues. I did, however, get to the point with the small consulting firm where I couldn’t service my clients properly because my company sucked and the top boss was a piece of shit, so I quit. I quit largely due to stress, but the stress stemmed from my company not giving me the resources to do good work for my clients. I was managing two projects at once - each probably required 5-10 people working under me and I was given zero. I was all by myself. I had gotten to the point where I had to lie to the clients about my progress. That was not something I was comfortable with, so I got the fuck out.

I should add that I enjoyed my MBA program and met lots of great people, but the thing that always bothered me was that my classmates were so quick to suggest layoffs as a cost-cutting measure in our case studies. I was one of the few people in my class who had been laid off and out of work for a long time. In one class session, I spoke out against layoffs as a solution, telling everyone that they need to think of things as more than just numbers, and was given a lot of cross-eyed looks. I think there was one guy who took my side.

There’s a reason they’re in an MBA program. We need more people like you in business but it’s a self-selecting group.

Wake up from the only pay me what I say to live system in the WORLD @skydiver8
My dad has angina, he’s had 14 stens put into his heart and over time had them replaced with newer versions, for the last 25 years he’s been looked after by our NHS and I’ve seen 1st hand what the American system does to people and their relatives lives by increasing a for profit system on the basis of because they say so. Its not humanity or humane but Infact utter cruelty.
It’s time y’all woke up to the needless suffering of millions of your fellow Americans and care.

I’m starting to be actively disgusted by this guy.
I don’t even give a shit about his consulting work a dozen years ago.
His disingenuous, Republican talking point attacks on health care may have set back single payer by years, even if he drops out tomorrow.
