    - i did not know this -- nm - prayformojo Apr 28, 08:37
    - I did not know this. So fundrasing resets after the convention? What if they have money left over? -- nm - decline Apr 28, 08:37 3
      - So is this for primary donations direct to a delegate and not superPACs? A superpac doesn't have to designate between the two do they? -- nm* - volnelk Apr 28, 08:39

        ALTD -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 07:54
      - just look for the large bulbous mass that is blocking out the sun. -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 07:48
- huh, he's 1/8 Souix -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:42
- did anyone tell him? -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 07:39 1
  - It's kindof impressive that he hosted a TV show for 18 years and that was his 'short' job. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:40
[deleted] 13
- It was less than 3 weeks ago when he wa making a pretty substantial push. He does have other things to do. He still mentions it consistently in - pmb Apr 28, 08:01 1
  - plus with each deadlocked case it just further pushes that campaign agenda -- nm - decline Apr 28, 08:05
- Last I checked, the GOP was doing a good enough job shooting itself in the foot that Obama can keep his powder dry for now. - znufrii Apr 28, 07:42
- Former Speaker of the House was a serial child molester and yesterday's headline was Cruz/Fiorina. Good luck getting new traction right now. - ty97 Apr 28, 07:39 9
  - [deleted]
  - I'm kind of with that. I think the larger impact on the party is if he pushes the issue during the general election cycle. Now it just gets lost. -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 07:42 7
    - [deleted] 5
      - The other angle is: maybe he thinks Hillary wins and he doesn't care if Garland is confirmed. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:54 4
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Agreed, he has sucked in general about holding them to task over judicial nominations overall -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 08:04
        
        Garland has always been a sacrificial lamb. His purpose is to be a symbol of the GOP's intransigence. - TWuG Apr 28, 07:57 1
        
        I don't think he withdraws before the election. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:58
    - Yep. You wait til you can force the actual GOP nominee to take a position on filling the vacancy -- nm - TWuG Apr 28, 07:48
I'm guessing ESPN will release their first 2017 Mock Draft... tomorrow? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 28, 07:19 1
- Actually usually, yeah. They do like a 'way too early 2017 mock' that basically just says who the players to watch this fall are. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 28, 07:37
Budapest bank makes steam punk ATMs that give you 'money' with your pic on it to celebrate 120 years on the street. -- (link) - Andie Apr 28, 07:17

  - Re: that map -- MS was closer than I remembered last time and one of the few states to go more to Obama in 2012 - Reagen Apr 28, 07:33 1
    - The one state I'm beginning to wonder about is actually Utah. I previously poo-pooed the idea, but it seems that Mormons may really fundamentally have - ty97 Apr 28, 07:35
  - Absolutely. Thus why I said I don't trust GE polls now and think the map I linked is crap -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:29
  - Or worsen... - Mel Profit Apr 28, 07:28 8
    - "You may hate Trump now, but just wait until you hear more!" -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 07:30
    - Nevertrumpers are in the anger/bargaining phase now. Acceptance will come by November -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:30 6
      - that's the establishment. I agree that there's resignation in the GOP but the voters are different. - Mel Profit Apr 28, 07:32 5
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:35
        
        We'll see. It's a long election cycle and once the GOP accepts him as the nominee and gets some handlers on him, he'll be more polished. - ty97 Apr 28, 07:34 1
        
        That may improve the numbers but he needs to improve by 21% just to get to Romney. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 28, 07:45
        
        And his entire campaign is predicated on not appealing to it. -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 07:33
- those numbers are brutal. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 28, 07:20

- go play with them -- nm - decline Apr 28, 07:13 3
  - or get them drunk -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:17 2
    - Bet they're angry drunks. -- nm - Robert Barontheon Apr 28, 07:20 1
      - I was guessing (hoping?) they are low-tolerance pass-out drunks -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:20
Tell us how you really feel about ESPN, Curt... -- (link) - znufrii Apr 28, 07:10 3
- we were talking about this last night. He must be an amazingly insufferable egomaniac... - Mel Profit Apr 28, 07:14 2
  - He'll be higher as a special consultant to some conversatives, and he'll get paid for speaking. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 28, 07:22 1
    - probably right... - Mel Profit Apr 28, 07:26
Is everyone excited about the Watership Down news with James McAvoy, John Boyega & Gemma Arterton? - LMS Apr 28, 07:07 5

- I've gone tharn with excitement, like I saw a hrududu. -- nm - Robert Barontheon Apr 28, 07:09
- Are we all still pretending we care about rabbits? -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:09
whats frustrating about iron banner is watching everyone else get drops, and yet I get nothing. - Truman Apr 28, 07:07 13
- Sounds like a pretty sucky game. - znufrii Apr 28, 07:26 2
  - well, you don't like anything, so...... -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 07:29 1
    - I like plenty of things. - znufrii Apr 28, 07:31
- That time when you finish 4th on your team and get the loot too... -- (link) - Shaun Apr 28, 07:25
- and, to be fair, previous Iron Banners, you would not get good purple drops until rank 2 -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 07:20 1
  - And they'd drop at 279. -- nm - Shaun Apr 28, 07:22
- You're pissed about a 20% drop rate? -- nm - Shaun Apr 28, 07:15 5
  - i havent had anywhere close to 20% drop rate, since exoctic are due to coins not IB. -- nm - Truman Apr 28, 08:06 4
    - 3/15 is exactly 20% -- nm - Shaun Apr 28, 08:22 2
      - 4/25 is not -- nm - Truman Apr 28, 08:24 1
        
        Yeah 16% isn't 'anywhere close to 20%.' - Shaun Apr 28, 08:26
    - I would rather have the exotics than the IB stuff, in most cases. -- nm - groiny Apr 28, 08:17
- I spent something like 15 three of coins to get 2 exotics last night. - groiny Apr 28, 07:13

  - Start watching Clemson games. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 28, 07:11
  - then it's Fitz or Connor Cook -- nm - ML Apr 28, 07:09 3
    - I don't know much about Cook - but I'd rather stay at 31 and take a chance on him, then trade a bunch of picks to move up to take a chance on Lynch. - Jim Apr 28, 07:15 2
      - forgot about Kaep--he's still out there as an option as well -- nm - ML Apr 28, 07:35 1
        
        Eh - I think I'd rather have Fitz with no trade than Kaep with one. I don't know... - Jim Apr 28, 08:07
