They are meeting today (have met?).

Out of that list? I'd sit home. Tulsi is the only one close to normal (she has issues), but she has no chance at all.

That would take brass ones. Everyone expects that the day after Election Day, not now.

There were a lot of people questioning why she was up for that undersecretary post (myself included). Looks like Trump pulled a fast one. ?

He’s all in on South Carolina (left NH early to head down there). He bombs in SC... he has got to be done.

My son is a millennial. He is an over-educated 30-something (several undergraduate degrees, several masters). He owns his own house, and is in finance. Even four years ago he was not a Bernie voter. He is definitely not one now. His girlfriend (who he owns the house with) is an ardent Trump supporter (she voted for him last time) who votes a straight R ticket. We have had many conversations about idiots who do not pay their own way in college and expect other people to bail them out. The “idiots” is their word, not mine. They have a large group of friends. Only one of the crowd was a Bernie Bro last time. They would give the guy good natured grief for supporting Bernie. I am not certain if that friend is still onboard with Bernie or not. I think you may be making the mistake of attributing too much energy to millennials and Bernie. They are not a homogeneous group.

Are all Super Bowl winning coaches former NFL players?

A lot packed in there... If you feel like asking, I would love to know the campaign’s thoughts. My personal belief is the DNC does not allow Bernie the nomination. They ***** him and paid him off before, and this time, since the DNC is broke and none of the “real” candidates have Hillary-money... the payoff has to come from mini-Mike, or Tom-the-Dud... or possibly Yang since he thinks paying people off is a great idea! I hope Bernie holds out for more than another house though. He’s really earned a good paycheck from the headaches he’s given the DNC. I just hope he does not have another heart attack before he cashes in.

I was reading on another site that campaign finance laws are such that if mini-Mike suspends his campaign (assuming he can’t buy the nomination) he can “loan” his staff to the nominee. Now, I am not certain how that is much different monetarily than his directly donating to the campaign (he has money to burn), but if he assembles a competent staff (word is he is paying better than anyone else) and has access to a lot of dirt and accurate polling ... Anyhooo... anyone have any thoughts or ideas how that could play out?

Dude should retire. He’s 100 years old now, and not getting any younger. Get out while still in one piece (relatively).

Why did China lock down so many people if this isn’t serious?

Link? ?

Posting obligatory “I stopped reading at PFF.” How can anyone take PFF seriously? And why do people pay for access to these er, hot takes?

?‍♀️ I’ve never been on a pr0n site.

I don’t think the Democrats are concerned about the presidency; I’m pretty sure they have conceded it to Trump. What I do think they are concerned about is how the lack of enthusiasm translates to the down-ticket. They (Ds) have dreams of regaining the Senate and holding the House. That requires people to vote. If registered Democrats sit on their hands and stay home due to lack of (presidential) candidacy enthusiasm, neither of those are possible. Worse, they probably lose the House. November should be interesting.

Yes.

The bolded is why I cannot discount the people who think this will all be swept under the rug. Mistakes were made...

I'd vote for him!!! ? ?

</snip> But Mr. Buttigieg’s stint in the Navy isn’t as impressive as he makes it out to be. His 2019 memoir is called “Shortest Way Home,” an apt description of his military service. He entered the military through a little-used shortcut: direct commission in the reserves. The usual route to an officer’s commission includes four years at Annapolis or another military academy or months of intense training at Officer Candidate School. ROTC programs send prospective officers to far-flung summer training programs and require military drills during the academic year. Mr. Buttigieg skipped all that—no obstacle courses, no weapons training, no evaluation of his ability or willingness to lead. Paperwork, a health exam and a background check were all it took to make him a naval officer. </snip>

I have no idea what it was called (small "b"... I "think" there were two heads this thing, cone shaped, looked like a bullet head to me as a kid).
