even for a politician, using your kid's death to gin up support is skeevy -- nm - jangles Oct 6, 09:10 17
- honestly, in our political system, nah -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 09:11 15
  - I think using it is 100% expected. Getting CAUGHT using it covertly undercuts his ability to actually use it. -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 09:17 14
    - I don't think anybody would have batted an eye if he had directly said "Beau wanted me to run" in his announcement speech. -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 09:25 1
      - but that doesn't do anything to help build an anti-Clinton narrative among a potential donor base -- nm - znufrii Oct 6, 09:34
    - this I agree -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 09:22
    - perhaps, though now it makes me wonder who the anonymous sources outing him as the anonymous source are. -- nm - znufrii Oct 6, 09:20 10

        and how would she, or "multiple sources" connected to her, know? - znufrii Oct 6, 09:30

        This is the Berniacs' conspiracy theory du jour -- nm* - jangles Oct 6, 09:27
      - Weirdly enough, also Biden. -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 09:22 5
        
        seems the simplest explanation, actually, but what's the upside? -- nm* - znufrii Oct 6, 09:34 4
        
        Oh, he's got 6 more rounds of outing himself as the anonymous source who outed himself as the anonymous source before we get to the upside! -- nm - Ender Oct 6, 09:45
        
        He doesn't have the heart to run and is anonymously sabotaging himself so he doesn't need to disobey his kid's wish. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 6, 09:42
        
        Self-sabotage is his MO -- nm - Roger More Oct 6, 09:38 1
        
        interesting -- nm - Damn It Pippy Janet! Oct 6, 10:19
