That was based on the presumption you guys here make that fundraising equals enthusiasm. Dems are raising more--which is a FACT, not propoganda--so they must have more enthusiasm according to you folks.

Damn. I like Fitz. Woulda preferred to pummel Rosen.

I know exactly what you stated, that's why I was very careful to put "all" in all caps so the evidently illiterate you would understand that the most important point here is that there is more Democratic enthusiasm than Republican enthusiasm... assuming of course that you measure it by fundraising, which is what you folks over here seem to do... errr... I guess... if you want to measure it by polling.... well... Dems have it there, too... Awwwww shux What I would guess. And then there are those like me who have never given a cent to a political candidate but already knows it's Anybody But Trump, prepared to get behind whoever the Democratic nominee is.

Warren was evasive and irritating. Sanders was pretty strong but his heart attack will kick him out of the race relatively quickly. Yang looked like he was just reading off a script half the time. Gabbard was good in her limited time, but definitely got cut off at certain important (though admittedly impertinent) moments. Biden was good. Not great, but good. He's just been steady throughout. Harris, Booker, O'Rourke, and Castro were all MEH.... Steyer introduced himself well, if briefly. Mayor Pete and Klobuchar destroyed everyone else in the relatively limited time they had. I personally prefer both of those candidates over the 3 frontrunners, but let's be honest, these debates don't typically do much.

It's possible. Not the absolute you claim it is. I still think he ends up the nominee. Warren didn't handle herself very well tonight as the "frontrunner" and Sanders just had a heart attack. I really and truly want Mayor Pete, but he's still a longshot. Don't get the obsession with fundraising unless there are consistently wild discrepancies. This is getting kinda funny how enamored you are with Biden. You resemble the Never-Trumpers in 2015-2016. If Biden wins the nomination, will you follow their paths? PS: Since you seem to care and it relates to our bet... 3rd Quarter Fundraising Donald Trump = $125 million Democrats = $135+ million $135+ million for ALL Democratic candidates. Yeah... Democratic enthusiasm >>>>> Orange Man enthusiasm

Being one of the top 5 teams in the NFL. Yes. Are you stalking me or just this passive aggressive all the time?

...and I was one of them initially

Yes. It might be. The Bills are one of the 5 best teams in the NFL right now and if Allen keeps learning and improving, we have a legitimate shot this year to hoist the Lombardi in February. Playoffs should be an expectation at this point.

Not to you, otherwise I would have made you understand it better. It's a shame what you're trying to do here rather than concede your misunderstanding.

Oh. You're just misunderstanding what I said. Why did you assume the breaking of the filibuster was one of the precedents he broke? That sentence didn't require that connection, but you assumed it nonetheless in your seemingly overwhelming desire to belittle anyone with different views than your own. The tunnel vision your arrogance is causing is staggering. I just did. She said Republicans. That is all.

McConnell's refusal to even bring Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merick Garland up for 10 full months is unprecedented. And there are examples of Supreme Court nominees in election years being elected to the court by the opposing party. If you guys are referring to Reid getting rid of the Filibuster... well, considering the sheer volume of filibusters (something like half in all of American history... an unprecedented number) used on Obama appointed judges by Republicans, good for Harry. Hopefully the Democrats have the balls to increase the Supreme Court once they regain power. It used to be 10, anyway. Democrats problems with Republicans is that they just don't play nearly as dirty as them.

But a lovable one

The Republicans sold their souls for control of the judicial branch. And ya gotta give it to them. They were organized, smart, and methodical about it. This has been the plan for years and it's the reason sooOOooo many of these guys who "hated" Trump during the primaries and before are some of his strongest backers now.... hellooooo Lindsey Graham! Gotta hope the Democrats learned their lessons. Since McConnell has broken so many precedents and gotten rid of the filibuster, if Dems regain the Senate they might as well increase the Supreme Court by 4 seats (nothing in the Constitution about 9 Justices, afterall) and let the Democratic President appoint them in 2021.

Okay, well that's incorrect on the whole, then. The Bills are one of the top 5 teams in the NFL in terms of pass % in the 1st half. But I do have legitimate concerns with how McDermott and Daboll manage a lead.

Still plenty of arrogance over here I see. Hopefully some of you start to come around so you aren't completely floored when Democrats take the Presidency (and starting to look more and more like the Senate is very much in play) in 2021

The President must be pregnant, too... I guess. 2,000 troops to Saudi Arabia to defend them against Iran. Follow the money. What a jackass.

They were ALREADY THERE!!! You're 2nd bolded statement just proving to me what I've believed all along about this sub forum. You care more about winning rhetorical arguments than you do about seeing or even thinking about the other side of the argument. Proves you are exactly what you've accused me of being: Intellectually dishonest Pulling our troops out of Syria at some point in the near future was fine. But not like this.

I mean... I really do wonder... is this trolling? Honestly, do you truly believe this was a simple "Either/Or" choice or are you at least subconsciously aware of how stupid this is? Rhetorical question obviously since I won't get an honest answer.

It's pretty incredible that some of our friends over here actually feel this way. Just sad.

This completely ignores the complexities of this situation and all geopolitical situations, for that matter. You assess the world and your relation and reaction to it on a case by case basis, always. You let your guiding principles guide, but not dictate your actions. Your pregnancy analogy is really, really stupid as it's completely irrelevant.

The back and forth discussion of milking the clock? I don't know how many pages back that discussion goes, but that's what I saw in the 7 or 8 back and forth posts between you guys. Whatever I might have been wrong on as far as the discussion between the two of you goes, I do believe in general that a Sean McDermott coached football team will never be a team that averages 30+ points because of his approach to the game, which I do believe involves protecting a lead once you have it, which involves milking the clock more with more running and short, safe passes, which results in fewer explosive plays and less points. I'm not a fan of that approach. But I do think that's been McDermott's approach as a Head Coach.

Again, you're making what happened early this week a binary choice. It wasn't. There were much better and more diplomatic ways to do this than taking the rug out from our Kurdish allies and abandoning them. Whatever else your argument might be, are you disagreeing that the Kurds had prior knowledge it would happen this week?
