You think Warren forum or Buttigang folks are as likely to abandon the Dems as Berners are if their preferred nominee isn't chosen?

Berners seem to be the only one's not buying into "Anyone but Trump". I strongly dislike Buttigieg and Biden and I'll sprint to the polls to vote for them if they're the nominee. I know a lot of Bernie supporters who plan to write his name in or not vote at all.

Same folks in NY who voted for Trump as a "throwaway-protest-vote" in 2016 then were left looking like

by 11pm that night.

People that do this are not on our side, never were on our side and will never be on our side. They are DEPLORABLES to me and they deserve everything that comes their way.

Despite the handwringing, the percentage of Bernie primary voters who defected to Trump in the general election was less than the percentage of voters who cast ballots for Hillary in the 2008 primary and then vote for McCain instead of Obama. So, for the most part yes, with the caveat that for primary supporters of other Democratic candidates, it seems more likely to be a "never-Bernie" situation. I think they mostly see the rest of the candidates as largely interchangeable. But I absolutely think there's a segment that is fundamentally hostile to democratic socialism and will not support Bernie.

Any person or group that doesn't support the nominee is a scumbag and a DEPLORABLE. The stakes are just too high for that nonsense. A socialist, moderate dem, a scumbag like Bloomberg or anything in between is a HUGE upgrade over what we have now.

I wonder what her thoughts are on people that take the word of Vladimir Putin over Americans?

 

[Methodical Management]

It is definitely possible that I would have. I agree with her positions on criminal justice reform. Especially her stance on the elimination of cash bail.

My, such conviction.

I was curious as to how you might weigh all of your "permanent interests." How would you balance your deep commitment to criminal justice reform against your desire for a reduced tax burden? Would it matter if the person dangling the tax cut championed and deployed racist voter suppression tactics?

Your response has proven illuminating, despite your best efforts.

I'm rooting for everybody black

Time to update this?

There, that seems to better reflect the certainty of your commitment.

"No permanent allies", right?

MBS promised to send him the Ivanka nudes he hacked from Jared's phone if he keeps his mouth shut.

The only permanent allies for him are for people that support Roy Moore.

Well he didn't condemn them for murdering, chopping up a WaPo columnist and then holding a secret sham trial to blame 'rogue' operatives.
If anything he's probably happy about it.


The spyware came from MBS' personal Whatsapp account according to a conclusion from the forensic report with medium-high confidence. Kushner is known to communicate with MBS via Whatsapp so it's not unlikely that Kushner's phone is compromised as well.

According to Kushner's lawyer Abbe Lowell, he does not let WH officials actually handle his device even for records keeping purposes. He only takes screenshots of his Whatsapp communications and then forwards those screenshots to his government email address.
Kushner conducts official government business via Whatsapp with "persons outside of the US", so he's a particularly prime target for foreign intelligence services.

Speaking of Saudi Arabia, the FBI also recently stated that Saudi Arabia has been helping fugitives escape from the US.

Adam Schiff is such an incredible speaker and prosecutor. He is well positioned to take over for Nancy when she retires if he remains in the house. The man has a level of control over his words, emotions and body language that makes him one of the most effective speakers I've seen in congress in a LONG time. Not the level of President Obama, but the man is truly making a name for himself during these investigations and trial of Dictator Donald.

My comment was on the more recent poll that I quoted.

Seems your poll shows that the amount of people that feel he should be removed is trending down.

Emerson, the most recent poll, seems to show that the amount of people that feel he should be removed is a majority.
