Right, no one around here cares about Dvaut's political views. Solid read.

Good luck to everybody, I'm out bitches!

Wat? Who cares what anybody "around here" thinks to begin with? I'll use flys line, go back to SMP. You were average there.

Do you ever watch soccer?

Re: Kasich-Hickenlooper,

Wouldn't that be good for liberals (and the country)? Wouldn't that pull away more R and I voters than D voters, and help the D candidate to win?

Nah, Trump's base will stick with him and not enough Ds will pull the lever marked "Kasich (R)" to overcome it imo. Plus the DNC will still nominate and run someone.

I think it's the other way. I can see the Acela corridor Dems jizzing themselves over a hybrid Unity party and like 0.1% of Republicans going for it.

he's a dirty cock-blocker

Right, most of Trump's base will stick with him, and most of the D base will stick with the DNC candidate. But will more D voters actually vote for Kasich-Hickenlooper, than R voters? If not, then it would seem that them running would be good for D's.

If not trolling: Sure, I agree if Hickenlooper were at the top of the ticket. But if Kasich is at the top of the ticket as expected, would more D's still vote for them than R's?

lol there is no gold in Fort Knox. We are guarding a vault full of air.

Not trolling; I think there are a ton of center-right, West Wing-watching New Democrats who would love the idea of a hybrid R/D party. Esp if the Dems go with a far left candidate.

Yeah, I am with Trolly. We already know that any Republicans who we'd hope to vote Unity ticket have already made that choice and voted Trump. Party ueber alles.

Based on what?

Kasich would have beaten trump HU4Rollz according to polls at the time. That they still approve of him says nothing - they're loyal, just like dems would be loyal to hillary even if she was a trainrweck.

Hillary is unpopular so would lose a lot of ground IF she was the candidate. But she won't be the candidate next cycle. What if they chose someone who has generic appeal like biden? Then republicans are probably the ones losing the bigger numbers.

I think a Trump/Pence v. Kasich/Hickenlooper v. Dem/Dem race ends up being a total ****show in the House. If you give the Unity ticket Ohio and Colorado, the path to 270 narrows. I think their plan would be to throw it into the House, and thus I think they'd concentrate on creating a roadblock. OH-CO-MI-UT should do it. I can't find a map where they take those four and Trump gets above 265. The Dems have a couple paths, though.

Regardless, I have a feeling something was taken out of context and leaked. There's no way it's in either of their best interest to do this, or in the country's. Hickenlooper would want to be POTUS/VP and skip the primary? Kasich wants to save us from Trump and skips the primary?

More likely is an agreement that if only one of them wins the primary, they'll create a unity ticket in that party, or that if both lose they'll run a unity ticket with Kasich at the top to block Trump and have a realistic shot at getting it into the House and winning.

Oops

He is guaranteed to **** up this hurricane response in tragic fashion

How many FEMA employees are left?

Trump is coddling the worst criminals. Loves criminals, hates the law, soft.

LOL rule of law

This guy can't help himself. He must be the center of attention. Distractions.

Like, anybody but the worst partisans should be able to identify how massively problematic it is to signal to officials around the country that you can ignore court orders with abandon and as long as the president agrees with you, you'll face no consequences.

Should. We'll see how the right reacts to this. I'm not particularly hopeful.

In before "concerned"

I can't figure out if he was attempting a Friday afternoon news dump or he is legitimately pissed the hurricane is getting more attention than him

What a ****ing ass. Pardons the sheriff and bans transgender troops while this hurricane is going on.

Yeah on a Friday evening when a major hurricane is about to slam into Texas. ****ing coward.
