Okay, Ayn. How perfect for you that your arguments, if they persuade anybody, will get the Republicans elected and picking judges! YAY!
Which is all another way of saying I was replying to Erik. I don't care what goalposts you move as you spend all day on a message board.

Says the self-proclaimed panelist/activist queen who spends more time on here than I do because he doesn't have a partner, child, friends, or family.

Wow he's really spending a LOT of time on this message board!

I gave 5 dollars to Bernie, for reals

Small steps to big change. Or, small change for big steps.

I have no problem with Hillary Clinton's ambition.
I do have a problem with her raking in tons of money through a campaign finance system that she says needs reform.
I have a problem with her accepting campaign donations from lobbyists.
It also doesn't sit well with me when people become mega rich running "charitable organizations"

AGREED, Erik.
On an unrelated note.. What are your thoughts about Sanders' 1972 writings on women fantasizing about group rape? Per his campaign spokesman, they admit it was "stupid" then and "stupid" now.

Bernie is not gonna win, I'm thinking now about 2020, will Warren beat Jeb?

So Liza's Headband... who are you backing for President in 2016?

How much money has Clinton made from her charitable organizations?
Posted: 5/30/15 at 12:41pm
Jeb Bush? There's no guarantee he's even going to win the primary. His Iraq war answer was a debacle. It's crazy to me he wasn't prepared for that question. And I'm sure that's going to be played over and over again by both sides.
And Bernie Sanders campaign is going better than even I could have ever expected. He's raised a ton of money (without a SuperPAC!), signed up an army of volunteers, is polling better than any Republican candidate, and according to reports, is the one candidate who Hillary Clinton is scared of.
"The problem here isn’t that Bernie Sanders is some crazy koo koo bird. It’s that we’ve all become so accustomed to stage-managed, focus group-driven candidates that authenticity comes across as lunacy."

Except for that rape fantasy thing of Bernie's. Can and will be used against him etc etc
Posted: 5/30/15 at 3:16pm
Doubt it. Judging from the media coverage (or lack thereof) this "scandal" died before it even got off the ground. Plus the Sanders campaign handled this way better than Bush handled the Iraq question.

I like Martin and hoping he plays his cards right and give Hillary a run for her money, literally and figuratively.
Posted: 5/30/15 at 7:55pm
I wonder if he's doing this in hopes of being her eventual running mate.

O'Malley and Sanders would just split the anti-Clinton vote. In fact, O'Malley is pissed that Sanders has stolen his thunder.

I wonder if O'Malley's camp was behind the release of the Bernie Sanders rape-fantasy essay?
Posted: 5/31/15 at 12:44pm
Nah. Clinton's camp has no need to do oppo work on Sanders. Sanders is actually helping them at this point, by moving the center toward the left:
Martin O'Malley is the one who needs to take Sanders out of the game. As the LA Times article that StageManager pointed out, O'Malley sees Sanders as an impediment:
This week’s Sanders rally was the latest bit of thunder-stealing that has deprived O’Malley, the wonky former governor of Maryland and long-shot presidential hopeful, of the oxygen he needs to have any chance at the Democratic nomination. O’Malley, who formally launched his candidacy Saturday, not only faces a dominant front-runner in Hillary Rodham Clinton but is also being upstaged by Sanders, the shrewd self-styled socialist senator from Vermont who has made an early and successful play for Clinton skeptics in the party base.

That line about the rearview mirror is great political writing.
Posted: 6/1/15 at 10:48am
O'Malley needs to lose the shirt and tie.
