So far the Primaries is suggesting to me that the Bernie supporters were right all along in 2016. - Qale Feb 22, 17:08 1
- Except for more people voting for Clinton, yeah it was his. -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 17:10
I feel like every pundit has only seen on TV show and one series of movies - The Wire and Harry Potter. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 16:54
Now playing: The Girl on the Third Floor. - David Feb 22, 16:48 1
- Well we know her name's not Luka. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 17:01
I just realized that Klobuchar sounds like Linda Belcher. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 16:06 1
- Lucky her. -- nm - Linda si Feb 22, 16:38
ST Poll: Take emotions out (as best you can) and analyze. Do you think Bernie could win the general? - ty97 Feb 22, 16:00 47
- No. -- nm - Max Feb 22, 17:35
- Yes, but I doubt he survives the term. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 22, 17:20
- Yes. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 22, 17:13
- no -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 22, 17:10
- No way in Hell, a vote for Bernie in the primary is a vote for Trump in the general. His rabid followers are clueless -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 17:08
- heh. no. -- nm - Jovian Feb 22, 17:07
- Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 22, 16:59
- No. But ask me again in 2 months. -- nm - zunk lake county Feb 22, 16:56
- If he ran an absolutely perfect campaign in PA, VA, OH, WI, MN, IA and MI -- nm - crash davis Feb 22, 16:35
- sure -- nm - mud Feb 22, 16:34
- It's not that he doesn't appeal to moderates, its that the voters he does appeal to probably won't get out of the house to vote for him. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 16:26
- I think anything could happen but he has the lowest chance -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 16:23 5
  - I don't think he's lowest out of the main contenders, but he's bottom three. -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:45 4
    - Who would you say is lowest? Of Pete Amy Bernie mike and Biden -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 16:46 3
      - In the general, Amy for sure. Bloomberg is the other one I meant, but I may like Bernie's chances more than Pete's, too. -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:53 2
        
        Interesting -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 17:05 1
        
        How would you rank them? -- nm - David Feb 22, 17:10
- I think he can, if... and this is a big IF... the progressives and the liberals and the moderates can stop attacking each other over ideology - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 16:21 6
  - eh, that's a primary. I think that (mostly) washes away after. - ty97 Feb 22, 16:27 5
    - Yeah after the primary everyone is literally saying they support the nominee. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 16:58 1
      - not *everyone* mainly -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 17:08
    - I just remember how a segment of the Bernie Bros were NeverHillary, and I'm starting to see it pop up again with NeverBernies - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 16:36 2
      - The lesson of 2016 was to not ignore danger signs in supposed safe states - TWuG Feb 22, 16:47 1
        
        80k net votes. Subtract the Hillary voters who would not vote for Bernie, you have to make up for them. - ty97 Feb 22, 17:10
- Yes, but not as easily as I would like and I’m not exactly sure he makes a good effective president. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 22, 16:21 3
  - Agreed, which is why he's not my choice. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 16:44
  - oh his platform is DOA, no question. -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 16:28
  - Yeah. He won’t be able to pass what he’s campaigning on. -- nm - Dano Feb 22, 16:22
- Yes. He seems somewhat similar to Trump. - Dano Feb 22, 16:20
- No. The videos of him praising Russia, voting against gun bills and the amber alert bills among other things will crush him -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 16:20
- If Trump can pull it off... Anyone can become President. -- nm - VMan Feb 22, 16:18 1
  - Well... Anyone sufficiently funded. -- nm - VMan Feb 22, 16:19
- No. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 16:18
- Yup -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 16:16
- Yes. But I don't think he can carry a Dem Senate majority - TWuG Feb 22, 16:11 1
  - The most likely outcome is 50/50. It's only going to take one moderate to sink anything he wants to accomplish. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 16:13
- Yes. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 16:07
- I really think they'll smear him with commie (Donny loves any old school reference) and some jewish stuff, he's gonna take away your healthcare ins... - zeitgeist Feb 22, 16:06 1
  - Death Panels! -- nm - VMan Feb 22, 16:15
- Of course. But Warren would be better. -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:05 2
  - She's amazing. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 16:06 1
    - Yep. And she likes my singing. -- nm - Diva Feb 22, 16:25
- Well I'm not on Twitter, so I don't have that problem others do of constantly being a baby. Of course he can win because of that army of his. -- nm - con_carne Feb 22, 16:04
- Sure. I'd still rather see Rocky de la Fuente though. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 16:02 1
  - You could be his Iowa precinct captain for 2024! -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 16:04
- Yes. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 16:02
- Yes. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 16:02
I have dropped my ballot off at the Post Office. Elizabeth Warren has my vote - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 15:28 5
- she stole it from the Post office? -- nm - Beaker Feb 22, 15:51 2
  - yup. she aslo steals letters to santa -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 22, 17:15
  - Any way she wants it, that's the way she gets it -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 16:18
- No idea who he is but I want to vote for Rocky de la Fuente. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 15:30 1
  - "frequent candidate" -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 15:31
Chris Matthews is having a total panic attack. -- nm* - Reagen Feb 22, 15:19 8
- That's his gig. -- nm - zunk lake county Feb 22, 15:48 1
  - Yeah but this is "fire this guy"-worthy. -- (link) - Tim Feb 22, 15:52
- I've been reading a bit about this and yikes, send him home. - ty97 Feb 22, 15:46
- He needs to be put out to pasture. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 15:20 4
  - (As should any pundit over the age of, like, 50. They're beyond out of touch.) -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 15:23 3
    - Carville died 6 years ago and no one told him. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 15:27 2
      - He is the first ever person to become Jerky Jerky. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 15:35 1
        
        Oh, is he? -- nm - Keith Richards Feb 22, 15:40
taco bell, right? -- nm - amanda Feb 22, 15:12 2
- As long as you hit the Taco John's drive thru on the way for a large order of Potato Oles. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 15:27
- always -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 15:18
Anecdotal evidence of a pretty significant debate bump for Warren in Nevada -- (link) - TWuG Feb 22, 14:52 5
- too little too late, she still got no delegates in that one -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 15:06 4
  - The debate came after the start of early voting, so the test is whether she sees any increase in support in the next contests. - TWuG Feb 22, 15:20 1
    - I realize that's the reason, but the debate is now old news. New news in NV results with Bernie on cruise control. - ty97 Feb 22, 15:52
  - Also looks like Klommentum was short lived looking at early votes -- nm* - eag Feb 22, 15:10 1
    - I think she really hurt herself in the debate. Overall it wasn't strong and she was defensive and petty with Pete. People wanted to see her show the - pmb Feb 22, 15:15
I have a real issue with the 'fans' threatening people in the name? spirit? of the Astros cheating scandal. - JD Feb 22, 14:40 2
- The internet has turned people batshit crazy. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 22, 14:42 1
  - Nah. It’s given voice to the already fucking crazy -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 22, 14:54
PS4 Store sale: KH3 $18, Nier $20, FF12 $25, KH1,2,3 $30 -- nm - Strongbad Feb 22, 14:30 1
- Nier: Automata was really good. -- nm - Shaun Feb 22, 16:32
Yelp ... TripAdvisor ... I feel like I'm forgetting a site for ranking businesses. (In this case, sailing schools.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 13:58
Bully, Uwe Boll -- (link) - Todd Manning Feb 22, 13:45 [Backboard]
Watching Parvati toy with Ben at Tribal Council is like watching a puppy with a chew toy. -- nm - David Feb 22, 13:43 1
- :) -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 22, 17:16
My wife and I are looking for a "new" car... - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 13:34 11
- What's your price point and time frame? - TWuG Feb 22, 15:33 1
  - Price point is under $15k, and I am not supporting that nut job under any circumstances -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 16:23
- Most of those aren’t going to go 50 miles on a charge at this point. - spamlet Feb 22, 13:48 3
  - Home to work is less than 20m each way. That's 75% of my weekly driving. The rest is <10m per day. -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 13:54
  - Plus the Fusion isn’t a hatch, is it? -- nm - spamlet Feb 22, 13:49 1
    - I'll consider the Fusion if the price is right. -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 13:56
- Oh, the mitsubishi outlander doesn't count? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 13:40 4
  - Sounds like they're on the CSAR list -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 13:43 3
    - What is the csar? Why are they evil -- nm* - zeitgeist Feb 22, 15:01 2
      - The “Coalition of Sustainable Automotive Regulation” has sided with Trump in trying to fight CA clean air emissions standards - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 15:23
      - They agree with trump that gas is good and regulations are bad. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 15:02
a Twitter friendo in LV posted this from their caucus site. Looking at it, it seems like it makes much more sense than Iowa. - Tim Feb 22, 13:12 5
- Hmm, thanks for sharing. Interesting to see how it works. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 13:45 1
  - Interesting yes, but give me vote by mail. -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 13:46
- Ummm... that's pretty much the same way it works as Iowa's. Now reporting the results from the precinct level to the state level... - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 13:24
- "Hearts over here, Diamonds over here, Spades over here..." -- nm - budice Feb 22, 13:22 1

Clint Eastwood endorses Bloomberg -- (link) - Reagen Feb 22, 12:48 7
- He can go fuck himself with the chair. -- nm - Diva Feb 22, 16:23
- Because I needed another reason to NOT vote for Bloomberg. But then, I already sent in my ballot this morning. -- nm* - Mr. Havens Feb 22, 13:34
- Huh. -- nm - Mop Feb 22, 13:31
- "empty chair endorses empty suit" -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 12:58 1
  - heh -- nm - mud Feb 22, 12:59
- We got four - FOUR! - direct mail pieces from Bloomberg today, all different. All went straight into recycling. - Dark Callisto Feb 22, 12:57
- well that’s all I need to know -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 12:56

- Is this like the Dixville Notch of Nevada? -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 22, 12:41 2
  - Whoa, can you say that on SlackerTalk without getting baconized? -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 13:30
  - :-] -- nm - mud Feb 22, 12:43
"You know what the song said, it's hip to be square!" "That song is so lame." "So lame that it's cool?" "No." -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 12:36 9
- I hate that song so much. I played it over and over again in my JHS music class. I never want to hear it again. -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 13:39 2
  - It feels good to be right about something for once. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 13:46 1
    - Ha! :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 22, 13:57
- Tangent - I think I saw more people from the Prairies in Mexico than I did when I was in Banff -- (pic) - Roger More Feb 22, 12:50 [Attachment] 2
  - I own one! -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 12:56
  - nice! -- nm - mud Feb 22, 12:51
- But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. -- nm - budice Feb 22, 12:43 2
  - I believe sports were invented long before 1983. -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 22, 12:48 1
    - Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand it. -- nm* - budice Feb 22, 12:51
NYT: Trump Was Furious That Cruise Ship Passengers With Coronavirus Were Brought Back to U.S. -- (edited) - mud Feb 22, 12:35 3

I definitely envisioned Red Dead Redemption 2's story as a series while playing it. -- nm - Tim Feb 22, 12:32 3
- and as a series it would really work - Jovian Feb 22, 13:52
- absolutely - Jovian Feb 22, 13:39

Bad bus crash south of here. Wouldn't mind betting it was one of the casino excursions heading for Pala :-( -- (link) - Meg Feb 22, 12:27 3
- When you consider that when the CHP does road block inspections nearly half the buses are impounded for critical violations -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 22, 12:28 2
  - Exactly. A lot of the senior groups around here do trips to Pala because it's across the street from an outlet mall. They can say they're going - Meg Feb 22, 12:36 1
    - Hmm, there is a similar set up north of Seattle, I sense a pattern -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 22, 14:58
"Do you use Twitter for political news: 82% No" - Reagen Feb 22, 12:25 4
