  • GOP goaded Jasmine Crockett into running for senate by promoting favorable polls: Report

  • Progressives also have to realize that their candidates won't magically win in every district. Still, every primary needs to be contested, if for no other reason than to let the eventual winner know what their constituents value.

    I don't think there is really a loser in a primary. The candidate that loses the election learns a bit about the people in their district, and about themselves, which they can take into the next campaign. In fact, I can make an argument that Democrats are in such dire straits right now because they don't have enough candidates losing primaries, and learning from that. That leads directly to weaker candidates in the General Election

  • Obama was never a Governor. JFK was never a Governor. It is very possible to win the Presidency as a sitting Senator.

    I think she would make a fine President now, but a better one with two Senate terms under her belt.

  • The Senate is a good gig, it can be a lot easier to get foreign policy experience there than as a Governor.

  • I think the party has already made a deal with her: if she agrees to not run for President in 2028, they will clear the field for her to take Chuck's Senate seat instead.

  • He's the Next One Up, who the Establishment will be trying to push through the nomination. So unless some other candidate does what Obama did to Clinton in 2008, he's gonna be the guy.

    So, I was supposed to be a twin, but my twin was absorbed in the womb, which is known as "Vanishing Twin Syndrome", but i have a couple questions about this

    Jump

  • I'm no radiologist, but yeah. That makes the most sense. And I bet the doctors would have presented it in a positive way for your mother at the time, to prevent her from feeling any sort of guilt in regards to not knowing she was pregnant, and how it might have affected your twin.

  • It could also be plausible that your twin was not viable, and did not develop in utero. So when she says they found your twin in the ultrasound, perhaps what they saw was whatever remained after the earlier absorption.

  • Is it rude to go through the car wash with a bunch of snow on your car?

    Jump

  • Oh, well it definitely is, at least in the US. They're not getting paid below minimum like waiters are, but tipping is still customary. Normally it's only the ones with the towels on the other end getting tipped, though. I always assumed that they all split the tips equally, but I guess I don't know.

    If I were taking a car there knowing it needed extra work on the front end, I definitely would bring tips for both ends.

  • If I were that guy that actually scored the goal, I would be super pissed. Putting in all that work, then losing teeth earlier in the game but still playing, then gutting out that last play, only to have the President pretend to be him without putting in all that work.

    Now that I think about it, though, it is a direct allegory for Donald Trump's life. Always taking credit for the achievements of others, and putting his name on buildings he did not build himself.

  • It's definitely a bit lazy. But everyone is allowed to be lazy sometimes. Or maybe you're short, I guess, and legitimately can't get to the top of your car.

    The real question is: how well did you tip? People in these types of service jobs have an easier time doing that sort of thing if they get something extra out of it.

    He drove himself there in his own car, right? He "trans"-ported himself? Trump told us the trans community was dangerous!

  • No, you don't get it. Democrats need robust primaries, it's the only way to get robust candidates. We need to stop acting like anyone who gets elected once deserves that seat for life.

    Every race should have a primary challenger!

  • The statewide convention seems to be an interesting approach, but one that is easily ratfucked by a party intent on doing so. Your links mention the process used in various states, including New Mexico, where the state convention is simply composed of the state legislature.

    Most states seem to hold an election, though, where they put all candidates on the ballot and allow people to vote for all of them. So, envision a long ballot with 100 sets of "for" and "against" names, and voters have to vote for each one. Yes, they could make it simpler, but they probably won't , in an attempt to make it so complicated that one side can seek to invalidate votes cast for the other.

    It seems to give the veneer of democracy, but still provide enough ambiguity for the State government to put its thumb in the scale. I'd like like to see some state say "The convention is every eligible voter, and the election on a strict yes/no vote determines the findings of the convention". Maybe California can do this, they are big on statewide referendums.

    Donald Trump's Parents

    Jump

  • According to Fred Trump's Wikipedia Page, Donald Trump's grandfather, Frederich Trump, married Elizabeth Christ in the early 1900s. So when Fred Trump was born in 1905, he was named "Frederick Christ Trump".

    That makes Donald Trump, literally, the Son of Christ. No wonder he is so delusional.
