Okay. At least you're in the open as a homophobic For clarification... @Deranged Rhino... this poster should further illuminate our most recent misunderstanding on my feelings of favorite candidate vs candidate I felt was most inevitable. PS... Yet you're fine with Donald Trump representing the USA.

Ummm... yah... so US Intelligence confirms RUSSIA has been trying to frame the Ukraine for 2016 Election meddling... Dude!!! Do you guys not realize yet that where you get your news from is so often wildly misleading and ridiculous!!! Unfortunately I will acknowledge this: Trump might be reelected because too many people in our Country deal in these Alternative Facts. Frightening.

Loathe both teams, but I can't imagine a single Bills fan who would ever root for the Patriots to win this game.

Yes my personal preferences differ from who I think will win. Buttigueg and Klobuchar are my two FAVORITE candidates. However, I don't think either will win the nomination, though I'll be extremely happy if they do. And yes, I still believe Biden is the clear front-runner, likely winner of the Democratic nomination and next US President starting January 2021. Don't wish me luck... you don't want me to win this bet.

Yes I'm still on that train. No he's not my favorite candidate and never was. My rankings are who I like the best as the democratic nominee, not who I THINK will win. That's the context with which I've always talked about Biden. Make sense?

See my previous post. I can compartmentalize my own personal feelings about the candidates from those who I think are most likely, and I have always and still do think Biden was/is the most likely Democratic candidate. 1) I disagree with your disagreement 2) This is the ONLY political forum I've EVER gone into, so no.

No. No. No. You've completely misunderstood my feelings about Biden. Biden was never my personally favorite candidate--and I've said that a number of times--just the candidate I thought was most likely out of this pack for a number of reasons, including being the "safest" choice and therefore most likely to beat Trump. My personal feelings on who the best candidates haven't ever had Biden even in the top 3. Mayor Pete and Booker were always up there with Harris and Klobuchar flip-flopping in there, though I've had Amy above Harris for a while now. Biden is probably my 5th favorite candidate, followed by Tulsi, Steyer, Yang, Bernie, then Warren. I've been pretty consistent with those feelings.

The beautiful thing is that you have your money where your mouth is, so to speak. So I appreciate that these aren't just empty words. We find out which of us was wrong in less than a year

I like both. Mayor Pete is my favorite candidate of anyone up there. What part of his platform and ideas are "on the nutty side?" And no, I can't see Lizzie or Bernie becoming centrist. It's why I don't care much for either and why I think either will actually win the Democratic nomination.

Medicare for All seems it's largely on the outs. Even though it's still a central aspect of Warren's and Sander's candidacy, you noticed even they are now hesitant to push any quick, revolutionary change. I don't want Medicare for All, anyway, but that was at least promising from them. Warren explained her wealth tax, which is at least interesting enough and her explanation for it was pretty solid. Booker's response to her tax proposals was likely even better. Biden stressed that it's the Attorney General, not the President who determines something like pursuing charges of Trump. That's a far cry from Trump, who basically uses Barr as a puppet for his own political whims. Also the decriminalization of Mary Jane along with expunging and reversing any previous convictions (wasn't baked last night @Teddy KGB though I appreciate the concern) Pete's discussion of the farmer subsidies in the trade war was interesting and substantive, though Maddow stupidly cut him off. The entire conversation about voter suppression, voter turnout, and making sure everyone is able to vote is very important in a country with such low voter turnout compared to much of the Western world. The general civility towards each other (with a few notable exceptions often involving Gabbard) was refreshing, especially when Klobuchar was given a home run opportunity to slam Mayor Pete, but refused to. Kamala Harris did the same thing once in a similar situation with him. Any emphasis on our efforts to slow/reverse Climate change is always a positive discussion regarding the future. That's what I got off the top of my head

Seems your one of Trump's converted based on your posting. These are the posters that dominate this forum and don't get much true opposition No. We watched the same debate. Clearly we just watched it from 2 different political perspectives. Can't you just admit you're one of the many in this forum so dead set against Democrats that it's giving you tunnel vision... exactly what you accuse your liberal pals like me of. Let's at least be honest here.

Although I now understand that this forum needs to be renamed--it's a far cry from the open minded inviting conversations acknowledging both sides and parties it claims to be... this place is strictly red and conservative and anyone blue and progressive is belittled and ignored. Pretty obvious-- I'll give my thoughts. Tonight was a good debate for EVERYONE. First of all, if we voted for President on personality ALONE, Andrew Yang wins, hands down. Love the guy. Not the policies. Warren was kinda pushed into the background which I was happy about (least favorite of the bunch), but she was good when she was speaking. Sanders was great with his witticisms and brashness, though I don't like him as the nominee for all the same reasons I don't particularly like Warren. Amy was really good. I think she's the dark horse in this race. I'd be happy if she won the nomination because I actually think she might be the most steadfast path to beating Trump, but she won't win. Gabbard was very good and represented the Aloha State well with her introduction of Aloha into her closing. The attack on Mayor Pete won't work so well for her, though. Steyer's an afterthought to me. Seems he's up there to push forward his agenda. Fine by me. He's likable enough and it's working. Harris had a good recovery from forgettable to awful debates recently. Booker, I hope, helped propel himself into the December debate. Really thought Booker was fantastic tonight. Pete was just Steady Pete. He's the guy I want as the nominee. He'd be the bold and smart vote of Democratic primary voters. Warren and Sanders would be bold but stupid. Biden had probably his strongest debate tonight. I don't know what people are looking for with him. He's ALWAYS stumbled. He's ALWAYS had gaffes. Throughout his entire career. Debates aren't something he will ever completely dominate. His strength is elsewhere, and it's why he's still going to almost certainly be the overall frontrunner, even after tonight.

I'm a bit surprised you're calling me out here. This was Biden's best debate. I guess he's losing the cherry picking of twitter with a couple gaffes...? Biden has ALWAYS had gaffes... throughout his ENTIRE career. Pointing these out are pointless. The difference between him and Trump is that when he makes a mistake in terms of something he says, like he did tonight when he said he was proud to receive the endorsement of the "only" black female senator, he corrects himself given the opportunity, which he quickly did. Trump, by his own admission in his own book, REFUSES to admit he's wrong or mistaken as a practice of exercise of power. It's pathetic. I still don't know who the Democratic nominee is--I honestly think tonight was a strong night for every single candidate, which bodes poorly for Trump--but I know that Biden is far from done and your own ridiculously bipolar feelings on Biden will change with a soft breeze. At least right now I know you're back to the position of Biden not standing a chance as the Democratic nominee... Where will @Deranged Rhino's feelings about Biden be tomorrow???

I actually agree with the premise of what he's saying, because he's saying that people shouldn't discourage Allen from scrambling. 100% agree with that. Allen is most effective as a runner when he scrambles. He's less effective on designed runs. I wish we would cut designed runs out of the offense altogether except for 3rd or 4th and short yardage plays where he's a beast. Allen is a much better scrambler after passing plays break down than a designed runner. Keep him scrambling. Stop the designed runs.

Great stuff man! Been saying that I don't think missing the deep ball so much this year is such a big deal because he's been money on these intermediate throws you're referring to. These are the chain movers. These are those big 3rd and long plays we see Allen connect on so often. He'll improve on the deep ball with time. I don't think he'll ever be a great deep ball passer because he doesn't seem like the natural deep passer Mahomes or Wilson are. But that doesn't mean that much to me if he can continue to improve as an intermediate passer and can become Elite in that range.

Holy cow! Whodda thunk that'd happen

Because I still have hope for all of you

Keep being misinformed by your alternative news with their alternative facts.

Just checking in if this place is still nuts for Trump. Yep. Yep you are. I'd be sad about it if it weren't so pathetic. Pretty clear Republicans are just desperately moving goalposts and attacking the credibility of highly credible witnesses rather than giving 2 ishes about the Country. Wasn't Volker the guy who was supposed to flip Democratic arguments on their heads? Afternoon witnesses were supposed to be Republican counter arguments, instead, they amend their previous closed door depositions in real time. Good GAWD people... are you watching??? Are you just lying to yourself that what you're seeing DOESN'T make Trump look horribly corrupt???? Regardless of what the spineless McConnell manipulates his Senate to do in order to not impeach Trump, the country is going to be so damn frustrated such overt and blatant corruption was overlooked, they'll just vote the idiot out of office in less than a year. And McConnell better be careful because that frustration might very well spill over into his own branch and the entire legislative and executive branch could turn blue. Maybe he should view his own state's most recent Republican embarrassment in the Governor's race as a warning.

Dude... have you been a Bills fan for the last couple decades? Being able to optimistically talk about tiebreakers as we enter the back half of November is a GOOD thing. Let people enjoy it.

Why? It's mid November. This is the perfect time to start discussing tiebreakers.

Okay, that's fine, but what if the Bills make it into the playoffs at 10-6 and Allen plays like he did against Miami 2 or 3 more times against teams like the Broncos, Steelers and Jets but doesn't play nearly that well against the Patriots, Cowboys, and Ravens? Or what if he has 1 game like he did against Miami vs. the Patriots, Cowboys or Ravens and we win that game, but then also has another game like the game he played against the Patriots and we lose? At some point I think people can just acknowledge that Allen is an improving QB and that while we scrutinize his play on a week by week basis, he's going to have bad games even if he elevates himself into a top 10 QB.

Well that poster said we should throw out all of Allen's other games and only consider his next 5 games. Thus, it was a dumb post.

To say that 10 regular season games have 0% meaning and 6 regular season games have 100% meaning is sheer stupidity. That shouldn't need an explanation.

No. He's getting better as a passer. Keep allowing him to pass so he can keep getting better.
